No Preps Ahead
Morning and Night Preps Disbanded. Education Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ezekiel Machogu on Monday, January 30, banned early morning and evening classes for all students.
Machogu cautioned schools against requiring students to arrive before dawn or leave after dusk.
“With the resumption of the education calendar, the government will be vigilant on reporting time of students. Classes should start at 8.00 am and end exactly at 3.45 pm,” the CS stated.

The CS complained that teachers overburdened students, giving them little or no time to rest.
“You’ll see students out and about early in the morning, hurrying to get to remedial sessions. We won’t let it happen, and we’ll take legal action against schools that send pupils home after school hours,” the CS said.
The ministry of Education has been challenged by Kenya Primary Heads Association (KEPSHA) to employ more teachers to help curb this challenge.
” It is challenging to complete the curriculum within the allotted time due to the severe teacher shortage in public primary schools. To be able to follow the announced school schedule, we want the Ministry to hire and train more teachers,” KEPSHA responded.
Morning and Night Preps Disbanded, Junior Secondary school School fees
Principals should not send away junior secondary school students for unpaid fees, Machogu had previously cautioned.
“Schools shall choose the school uniform, including any other distinctive elements for the identification and branding of their institutions.”
The policies stated, in part, that “Uniform shall be the responsibility of parents, and no school shall direct parents as to where to purchase the uniform or disqualify kids for inability to pay for a school uniform.”
