Why teachers, parents are against ban of prep time

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has banned early morning and evening classes in schools.

The CS directed that classes across all primary schools-public and private-be conducted between 8 am to 3.45 pm.

Machogu said some teachers force learners to attend organized extra classes late in the evening and early in the morning before 8 am. 

“The stipulated time is 8am to 3.45pm. We want our pupils to be kept away from unnecessary travel,” Machogu said.
