Headteachers have opposed the full reopening of schools scheduled for January 4, 2021, citing inadequate preparation in a majority of schools.
The Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association (Kepsha) during a meeting in Nairobi on December 28 cautioned against the reopening, noting that they were underfunded.
The school heads argued that the large populations in several public primary schools would make it near impossible for them to implement and adhere to health protocols in the fight against Covid-19.
