Learners across Kenya are on mid-term holiday as heavy rains continue to affect several parts of the country, including the Coast, Rift Valley, Central Highlands, and Western regions. The rains pose risks such as flooding, slippery roads, and the spread of waterborne diseases, which could affect pupils and students during the break. Teachers are using the holiday period to mark exams, prepare lessons, and plan for the rest of the term, while parents and guardians are encouraged to closely monitor their children, as failure to take good care of them could expose learners to accidents, illness, or dangerous situations during the mid-term break.
