Kenya reopens schools for final year students

Final year students in Kenya are reporting back to school after the government rescinded its earlier decision to scrap the academic year because of coronavirus.

In primary schools, only grade four and class eight pupils will resume face to face learning from Monday.

Form four students in secondary schools are also reporting back to schools to prepare for national examinations scheduled for March.

Kenya’s national teachers’ union secretary general, Wilson Sossion, said the reopening was being done cautiously.
