English By Mohammed Yusuf Share on Facebook Print this page NAIROBI - Kenya’s plan to open primary and secondary schools next week is getting resistance from the leading teachers’ association, which says the schools are not well prepared to follow health protocols to prevent the spread of coronavirus. They say the schools need at least double the space they had before COVID-19 to keep children safe.
Some 16 million Kenyan children are expected to begin classes Monday after being out of school for nearly 10 months due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Nicholas Gathemia is the chairman of Kenya Primary Schools Head Teachers Association. He says schools will find it difficult to follow the health protocols meant to fight the coronavirus.
