The ministry of Education is reconsidering returning half term break in term two of 2021 for both primary and secondary schools .

In a nutshell, more than 10 high schools have been shut down after students going on rampage over various issues yet to be addressed by School administrators including corporal punishment, lack of mid term breaks, condensed term dates, pressure emanating from syllabus coverage.

Top in the list of schools that have been shut due to strikes is Buruburu Girls High School which has caught the attention of the media after tens of students were injured.

Others include Molo Academy Boys High School, Kambala Girls Secondary School both located in Molo; Chavakali Boys High School, Kaveye Girls High School, Moi Girls Nairobi, and Tenwek Boys High School.

The current fire incidences across the country seems to have been instigated by lack of free time for students to spend at their homes.

 

“On behalf of principals we did a letter last week, asking for a half term break , the secretary and I had earlier separately talked to director Secondary on the same as far half term break is concerned, I have also today talked to PS this morning on the same and he confirmed they have our letter I will find time tomorrow to visit jogoo God willing.

 

Will let you know of any outcome . ” Kahi Ndimuli.

“Good evening Colleagues. I would like to bring the following to your attention.

There are incidences of fire in many parts of the country.

Kindly, let’s be vigilant and be available in the schools to arrest the situation.
Communicate to the students that there will be a midterm in November.

The actual dates will be given in the CS circular.

He said this when we had a meeting on 27/10/21 at KSG.

Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association (KSSSA) through its chairman Mr. Peter Orero has announced that sporting activities in secondary schools will commence again after more than a year since they were stopped owing to Covid 19 pandemic.

The decision was arrived at following a stakeholders’ meeting held in Nakuru during the month May. Those who attended included officials from the ministry of education and KSSSA.

KSSSA Chairman, Mr. Peter Orero, indicated that the Ministry of education had called for a stakeholders meeting to chart the way forward. The meeting was informed by the fact that young talents were being ‘wasted’ due to lack of activities in learning institutions.

He said: “The Ministry of Education called a stakeholders meeting to brainstorm on how co-curricular activities can resume in schools and colleges as soon as possible. We were in agreement that we cannot replace the talents currently being wasted by lack of activities in schools and colleges and have agreed in principle that co-curricular activities must begin soonest possible.”

The meeting fruitfully came up with a comprehensive programme for the resumption of co-curricular activities in schools and colleges.

According to the calendar of activities seen by this writer, term one games (which include Athletics, cross country, basketball, hockey and handball) will be held in term one 2021 which kicks off in July.
