Gvt lifts ban on boarding school visits

The government through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has lifted the ban on boarding school visits by parents and guardians.

This is according to Circular No. 5 of 2023.

In February, the government banned parents and guardians from visiting learners at boarding schools in a move aimed at mitigating the spread of Covid-19.

In a memo addressed to parents and guardians, confirming the ban a school head, wrote: “Following the communication received from the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education on the suspension of visits by parents to schools due to Covid-19 escalation, we therefore, postpone the scheduled AGM and visit tomorrow February 18 until further notice. New arrangements will be communicated soon”.
