Pupils from Precious Talent school who had been transferred to Ngong Forest Primary School failed to report to the school on Monday as expected.
The parents cited a myriad issues among them distance, safety and transport challenges.
The transfer of pupils came after one of the classroom walls at the school collapsed last week on Monday leaving eight pupils dead and 64 others nursing serious injuries.
Education CS George Magoha ordered for the closure of the school.
Many parents have since insisted that the prefer their children to continue studying at precious Talent School noting that it has registered good performance in national examinations.
The parents argued that the school delivered good result yet it was affordable and easily accessible. They therefore considered the schools to which their children had been asked to transfer as unsuitable options.
“We want our children to continue learning, especially for the Class Eight, as we seek a long-term solution. We are helpless and desperate; this is not the right solution,” James Nyabuto, a father of two pupils at the school, stated.
He went ahead to cite that disruption of the close relationship among the pupils and their teachers would affect the pupils' performance.
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha on the other hand while speaking at Ayany Primary School claimed that politics were at play in parents' refusal to let their children school elsewhere.
"Politicians have been confusing parents and that is why there is a low turnout in some schools. We lost eight children in the tragedy and it is not as simple as you may take it. I'm doing my duty to ensure this does not happen again," said Magoha.
