(Photo: File/Standard)Nairobi: Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has directed school heads not to admit learners transferring from schools destroyed due to unrest. He said Itierio students had just resumed from a half-term break, therefore the strike could not have been occasioned by the change in the term dates. Dr Matiang'i said students "who have burnt their school should either learn under trees or rebuilt it." He said the parents will have to fund the repair of schools destroyed by their children since he "would not spend the Ministry of Education resources to repair destroyed schools." The CS said that all students seeking transfers must obtain clearance letters from sub-county director of education to ascertain that they did not participate in the destruction of their schools.
