A private schools lobby has assured parents that schools whose boarding sections the government has shut over safety compliance will resolve the issues and be ready to reopen in January 2025.

Senior officials of the Kenya Private Schools Association (KPSA) said that learning would not be interrupted since the affected schools are working to meet requirements for boarding facilities as directed by the Ministry of Education.
