Education Ministry will restructure the school calendar from next year to address learner fatigue blamed for fuelling unrest in 204 boarding schools, Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba has said.
Speaking during a press conference in Nairobi on Wednesday, June 10, Ogamba said the ministry will "rationalise the school calendar to ensure balanced terms across the school year" starting next academic year.
The announcement came as the ministry confirmed 16 pupils died in a fire at Utumishi Girls Academy in Gilgil, Nakuru County, on the night of May 28.
