And as Covid-19 fourth wave looms this month and only 85,000 teachers vaccinated, the uncertainty of the school term is real. Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha painted the bleak future of schools reopening when he said God will take control as schools open next week. Primary and secondary school heads said preparations for reopening will require money to make schools ready for learners.
