There has been little or no learning going on today in several schools across the country, amid the Azimio la Umoja anticipated protests.
In Nairobi CBD, Moi Avenue Primary school is among the affected institutions.
By 11am on Monday, there were no students, only two teachers were around.
“Some teachers called in saying they didn’t get transport to come to work while others showed up and left later,” one of the teachers said.
“A few parents brought their children in the morning and went back home with them,” the teacher added.
In Kisumu, learning was affected in some schools which are situated in the CBD.
Police were seen dispersing a crowd of protestors using tear gas.
However, the parents association has insisted that there’s enough security to protect learners as they progress with their studies.
Even as it appears that some schools are seeking further intervention in dealing with the protests.
In a letter seen by the Star, a certain private school in Nairobi has committed to offering online classes on the two days if the protests persist.
“Meanwhile for March 27 and March 30 we will give students enough assignments for them to work from home for the two days,” the letter signed by the headteacher reads.
He further added that the management is awaiting calmness before they give a final directive on the two days.
