Some 21,095 primary school pupils will have their two-month holiday cut short to take part in a study aimed at improving the quality of the subject. The Ministry of Education wants Standard Two pupils in 300 public primary schools across the country recalled to take part in the study between November 28 and 30. The details are contained in a letter by Kipsang, dated November 15, and addressed to Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia. In the letter, Kipsang requests Ms Macharia to instruct TSC county officials to ensure the pupils are in schools during the stated dates. The PS said during the exercise, Class Two mathematics teachers must be present to deliver a lesson that the researchers will observe.
