Parents have been urged to treat this Monday as a normal school day amid Azimio la Umoja protests.
National Parents Association chairperson Silas Obuhatsa said there’s enough security to protect students, especially those in day schools.
“Today is a school day and we are calling upon parents especially those in day schools to take children to school,” Obuhatsa said.
The association chair warned that the demonstrations should not interfere with school-going children.
“Everyone who is on the streets should do it respectively without interfering with learning in school,” he said.
Several schools have already devised means to deal with the planned Monday and Thursday demonstrations.
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.
“We are all worried about the learning of our children due to the current situation of our city,” the letter reads.
The ministry of education is yet to give any directives regarding the safety of students during this time of nationwide protests.
