Low pupil turn out in Nairobi schools on Sabasaba day

NAIROBI, KENYA: Primary schools in Nairobi recorded a low turnout of pupils due for fears of possible chaos during Saba Saba rally. The pupils in their classes conducted their private studies as their teachers held discussions in their school compounds in groups. A spot check conducted by The Standard in Nairobi revealed that most schools were deserted as most pupils failed to turn up though teachers reported to work. In Moi Avenue Primary School, few pupils were spotted in classes doing private studies.

The head teacher of the school who did not want to be named told The Standard that pupils were very few in their classes making it hard for teachers to continue with lessons.
