New Class Hours Guidelines Given By Govt. Belio Kipsang, Principal Secretary of Education, has directed schools to adhere to the academic calendars that were previously set by the Ministry. This is notwithstanding the extended shutdown that was necessary as a result of the flooding.
Instead, Kipsang gave school administrators the order to devise a plan to make up for the lost time when classes weren’t back in session until later.

However, schools have been instructed to adhere to the 6 am to 6 pm regulations when it comes to school transportation.
