Cs.George Magoha has finally promised parents that after delaying the school reopening date, the government will no longer interfere with the academic calendar.
On ,August 17, professor Magoha announced that a petition challenging the presidential election results would be submitted, and the Supreme Court might then mandate a new election.
Government, according to the CS, would consider all learners’ safety while it deliberates and provides a course of action.
With schools having been used as polling stations, the ministry would rather keep students in school than send them home since voting is a day’s exercise.
“They (students) can be asked to play games and stay in their hostels,” he added .
Professor Magoha also reiterated that the schools will resume on Thursday 18, 2022.
Back Saturday, August 13, Magoha postponed the reopening of schools citing the ongoing vote tallying exercise.
“Following the conduct of our National Elections on Tuesday, August 9, 2022, the process of tallying ballots is still ongoing.
