Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang in a circular directed regional, county and sub country directors of education to refund balances for activities that never took place.<\/p>\n

By the closure of schools in March due to Covid-19 pandemic, most of the co-curricular activities and especially Term One games were at the county level.<\/p>\n

A task force set by the Ministry of Education on Covid-19 has proposed the reopening of schools to be in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cI direct that all the unspent balances for those activities that never took place to be refunded back to the State Department by June 10,2020 so that the same can be used in other areas,\u201d read the circular.<\/p>\n

The return of the funds clearly shows that there will be no co-curricular activities that includes sports, music and drama festival and several conferences.<\/p>\n

The cancellation of the co-curricular activities especially sports is a major blow to many schools that had spent millions in purchase of sports equipment in readiness for the games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
