Parents, students and teachers are at higher risk of coronavirus infection as a fourth wave peaks and schools close in a week, stakeholders have warned. Schools are set to begin going for the third term holiday next week, marking the end of the recovery of time lost during the pandemic. Associations representing principals say although school heads have little say on how learners should spend their holiday, they want the government to limit travel. Those pushing for the travel restriction include the Kenya Primary School Heads Association and their secondary school counterparts. In total, the 2021 school year will have 30 weeks; eight weeks shy of the normal school year.
