Teaching and learning activities were brought to standstill at Kaptumo Primary School in Kabarnet, Baringo County following transfer of all Junior Secondary School ( JSS )learners to the next school.
Parents and teachers staged a protest condemning the government steps of transferring all learners demanding answers as to why the Ministry of Education was yet to establish a section for junior secondary learners.
All the teachers in this school school vowed to start a go slow until the Ministry of Education resolves the matter.
One of the teachers said that until now, the school has never known why there are no JSS students.
Speaking on behalf of others, the teacher wanted to know why JSS learners are not settled in Kaptumo Primary School saying that that is why the parents joined in the demo demanding their rights.
Kaptumo Primary is duly registered by the Ministry of Education but it was yet to receive any grade 7 and 8 students.
While speaking on the matter,another teachers revealed that learners who were initially set to join JSS were yet transfered to a neighboring school to the Ministry for allocating JSS textbooks to the school but so far there are no learners to use them.
The teacher said that textbooks from the Ministry of Education were sent to the this school.
He added that the government sends books directly to Kaptumo Primary School and already have stamps.
They expressed their worry getting books but with no students.
Speaking on the dilemma faced, a parent vowed to travel from Baringo to Nairobi to the Ministry of Education offices to enquire why the issue was yet to be resolved.
