One of the biggest challenges the government will have to grapple with, if the schools are to reopen, is ensuring all schools have running water. CLEAN WATERAccording to Water.org, only nine out of 55 public water service providers in Kenya have continuous supply. This means that a majority of public schools in urban and rural areas do not have clean water. Secondary schools have a shortfall of about 100,000, while about 35,000 are needed for the primary section. TEACHER SHORTAGESThe campaign to achieve 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary schools has resulted in more learners joining high schools without expanding learning to matched enrolment.
