Some teachers and learners are forced to go back home since they get tired waiting for water to subside,” he said.Shitanda told KNA that the government was monitoring the situation and that if the flooding continued, students would be relocated from the affected schools to safer grounds to ensure that learning could continue uninterrupted.He also stated that the Ministry of Education was in contact with humanitarian organizations in order to secure assistance if the situation worsened.He added that the Ministry was working with the county government and other government departments to dig trenches in the affected areas to allow free flow of water.Floods Disrupt Learning At Several Schools In Kisumu
