Unease has emerged over the fate of Grade Four learners even as the government directed that the children remain at home when schools open on Monday.
In a circular to all regional, county and sub-county directors of education, the Ministry of Education states that Grade Four children must remain at home.
The May 3 circular by Basic Education Principal Secretary Jwan Julius says that only Pre-Primary 1 and 2, Grade One to Three, Standard Five to Seven and Form One to Three learners will resume classes on Monday next week.
