Education stakeholders in coast region are raising fear over possibilities of disruption to the national examinations if efforts are not taken to solve to address issues raised by teachers at an early stage.

been losing much as a results of the teachers strikes since last year.

proprietor St. John Kings schools noted that the battle between the government
and teachers is affecting parents who have invested m0re in their children
education.
“ those students who are sitting for their national

He added poor family background makes it difficult
for many to conduct personal studies away from school environment and called on
need to come to a permanent solution to teachers’ strikes.
Speaking separately, Pastor William Chengo, the
chairperson, “Breaking gender barrier” group that is fighting for child rights
in Kilifi County, he warned that despite campaigns to shy away from early
pregnancies, the strike could catalyst evil by sex pests.
He noted many parents in Kaloleni and other parts
of the county leave their children to attend night cultural celebration without
care of the consequences.
Chengo urged parents to take great care of their
children at all time and guide them through out on the best friends to choose
and right channel to follow for their bright future.
“It’s high time we parents we guide our children to
be involved more in activities churches and Mosques for spiritual guidance
rather that living them to attend cultural practices that are behind the clock
with no impact in their life.” Adviced the pastor.
