The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) has called on the government to temporarily lift the night travel ban before schools reopen on Monday, January 4.
Speaking to the local press, Kuppet Secretary-General Akelo Misori stated that some teachers and students in some counties would take almost two days to travel.
“The government should temporarily lift the ban on night travel for passenger vehicles to facilitate free movement of people and avoid overcrowding from now until schools reopen,” stated the Kuppet Secretary-General.
Misori stated that the majority of the students had been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“There is a need for policies to mitigate these factors with school boards and principals empowered to come up with innovative ways of keeping learners in school.
“Local support groups including the constituency development funds and well-wishers should contribute to targeted programmes to aid poor families such as school feeding and bursaries,” he stated.
