The Ministry of Education has ruled out the early closure of schools for midterm amid a recent wave of student unrest across the country.

Speaking during a prize-giving ceremony at Kenya High School on Thursday, June 4, Basic Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok said learning remains uninterrupted in most parts of the country, with only a few isolated incidents that are being addressed.

Bitok said the unrest is being contained through dialogue with students and a nationwide audit of school safety standards.
