CORD leader Raila Odinga has called on the Ministry of Education to return previous term dates as a way to restore sanity in public secondary schools that have been hit by an infectious wave if students’ unrest. Here is Raila’s full statement.
Two months ago, the government announced stringent measures including change in term dates and abolition of traditions like visiting and prayers ahead of exams in third term ostensibly to curb exam cheating in our schools. Teachers and non-candidates will also be required to stay away from schools during the conduct of national exams.
