NAIROBI; KENYA: Education Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi Wednesday night said the Government would announce when schools would reopen and issue a schedule to recover lost time.

“We would like to notify pupils, parents and the general public that the government will announce the date of re-opening of primary schools and give a clear time table to take into account the time lost during the strike,” Kaimenyi said, noting Knut’s action to call off the strike.

Earlier, Kaimenyi announced the closure of all public schools following a lengthy strike by teachers which was, however, called off Wednesday.

Kaimenyi called on teachers to respect the rule of law by heeding the institutions of State.
