Fenwick Cyril Maloba, a teacher at Menengai High School in Nakuru County, is undertaking a marathon classroom challenge: a 45-hour continuous mathematics lesson meant to shatter the existing Guinness World Record of 31 hours, 42 minutes, and 54 seconds set by Sanusi Kazeem.
Branded "Mathematics Is Not A Monster, It's A Marathon," the attempt is both an endurance feat and an educational campaign to change how learners view the subject.
The lesson is taking place on the Menengai High School campus and must meet Guinness World Records’ strict conditions. Maloba is required to teach actively throughout the attempt with a live audience of at least 10–15 students present at all times.
To keep energy and attention sustained, student groups will rotate, ensuring continuous engagement while complying with the rule that allows a five-minute break for every hour taught. Organizers will document the entire session with witnesses and recordings to validate the attempt.
