Children study under trees in Nyeri as schools re-open (PHOTOs)

 Monday, 04 January 2021 – Pupils in Mweiga Primary School in Nyeri County were pictured learning under trees after the no-nonsense Education Cabinet Secretary, George Magoha, instructed teachers to use trees as classrooms amid criticism from Kenyans.

The schools have reopened after almost 9 months of a long break due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Although Magoha’s idea of learning under the trees was widely criticized, he argued that it’s the best way to observe social distancing.
