Learning has almost been paralysed in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera counties as teachers have refused to report back to work because of insecurity.

Three weeks after schools opened for first term, Mandera County acting Director of Education Ismail Barrow, confirmed that “a good number of teachers from ‘Down Country’ (other counties)had not reported back to their respective schools”.
