In Kisumu county, students from Ombaka Mixed Secondary School relocated to Ombaka Primary School and were taught in tents after floods isolated their school. The Kitui County Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association branch chairman, Syanda Muthoka, said teacher understaffing was a nagging problem in most county schools. Athman Masoud, the head of Kinarini Primary School in Matuga subounty, said the institution lacks enough classrooms for social distancing. At Westlands Primary School, pre-primary 2 pupils could not hide their joy of being in class after a nine-month break. This, Kahi says, will overburden those who will be required to take all the subjects in secondary schools.
