Education CS Ezekiel Machogu has ruled out early morning and late evening classes for learners.
The CS stipulated that no classes should commence before the break of dawn and all school activities should end before dusk to allow learners have enough rest.
“As we resume our normal education calendar, it is clearly stipulated in the curriculum that learning begins at 8 am and ends at 3.45 pm. We are subjecting our learners to unnecessary struggles by waking them at 4 am to attend lessons in schools by 6 am,” He stated.
“You will meet students walking on the streets very early in the morning, heading to school for remedial lessons. I have seen some buses ferrying students at 10 pm as they head back home. We will not allow that,” Added Machogu.
The CS further stressed on the need for students to get enough rest and sleep which will render them energetic enough to enjoy their schooling life.
He said: “Let’s not subject our children to a lot of stress which affects their mental health. We want to make learning fun and likeable. Our children should rest and have enough sleep. Let children be children and enjoy their schooling life.”
