PS Ololtuaa asks parents to keep off school compounds as learners prepare for final exams
Ololtuaa said the move will allow learners and teachers to concentrate fully on preparations ahead of the final examinations.
Kisii, Kenya - Principal Secretary for Basic Education John Lekakeny Ololtuaa has urged parents to refrain from visiting school grounds as students prepare for the forthcoming national exams. This directive aims to ensure that learners and educators can fully concentrate on their final preparations. During a fundraising event in Ibeno Ward, Kisii County, the PS explained that many schools will halt extracurricular activities to allocate sufficient time for exam prep.
"We urge parents to keep off school compounds as candidates prepare for national examinations," emphasized Ololtuaa. The Ministry of Education is collaborating with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to promote teachers based on merit. The government is also taking steps to enhance learning conditions and access to technology in educational institutions.
Among these initiatives are plans to distribute tablets to students and set up ICT hubs in schools to bolster digital learning. Additionally, the government intends to allocate capitation funds to assist schools in meeting their operational requirements. Ololtuaa also appealed to residents near the Kisii-Trans Mara border to maintain peace and harmony, though specific details of the issues he addressed were not provided at the time.
His comments come as schools gear up for the final stage of the academic year, with students expected to intensify their revision in preparation for the national exams.
