Education cs Ezekiel Machogu has directed school heads to work within stipulated timelines.
Machogu said students should not be subjected to long hours of study at school.
“The stipulated time is 8am to 3.45pm. We want our pupils to be kept away from unnecessary travel,” Machogu said.
The CS asked school heads to shun keeping students within school premises up to late in the evening.
“The syllabus should be covered appropriately between the stipulated time. Let us not subject pupils to unnecessary mental torture,” he said.
Machogu was speaking at Nairobi Primary junior secondary school on Monday.
“We don’t want to subject the kids to the strain. Kids should sleep for nine hours,” he added.
