Teachers’ and lecturers’ unions, together have partnered with the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and engaged medical experts to help develop a report on the reopening of learning institutions.
The move by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut), Universities Academic Staff Union (Uasu) and KHRC runs parallel to a government task force chaired by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) chairperson Dr Sara Ruto.
Mr Sossion said the three institutions would not submit their report to the Dr Ruto-led team claiming it was a rubber stamp for what Prof Magoha and technocrats at the Education ministry want done.
Members of the task force chaired by Dr Ruto include Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association chairman Indimuli Kahi, Kenya Primary Schools Heads Association chairman Nicholas Gathemia, Kenya Private Schools Heads Association Chief Executive Officer Peter Ndoro and Kenya Parents Association chairman Nicholas Maiyo.
Mr Akello Misori, the Secretary-General of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers and Mr Peter Sitienei of the Kenya Special Schools Heads Association are also in the team.
