Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu has banned the morning and evening preps in schools.
According to Machogu the remedial classes were causing mental stress among children and robbing them the joy of being in school.
The CS says that the ban is to make learning likeable, enjoyable and fun.
” It is clearly stipulated in the curriculum that learning begins at 8 am and ends at 3.45 pm,” said Machogu.
“We are subjecting our learners to unnecessary struggles by waking them at 4 am to attend lessons in schools by 6 am,’’ he added.
A number of Kenyans have welcomed the move describing it as a smart move
