Kenya: It was a busy day for parents and their children yesterday as they thronged shops to buy books and uniforms ahead of schools opening tomorrow despite uncertainty over the teachers' strike.
In Nairobi, thousands of parents flooded books, uniform and shoe shops. “I am not worried because my children are in private school. I am hopeful that the strike will not affect their opening dates,” said David Kamau, whose two daughters attend an academy in Nakuru.
