Parents have been asked to ensure that their school going children make use of holidays to improve on their academic performance.
County Executive Committee member for Education, Sports, Gender and Culture Jennipher Kere said that parents need to ensure that their school going children make good use of the April holidays, and not engage in activities that could derail their academic performance.
The county executive said that most high school students waste a lot of time during their holidays doing unproductive ventures that do not add a thing to their academic pursuit.
“Most high school students need to be guided so that they do not end up engaging in activities that either lead to them dropping out of school or failing in the final Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examination,” said Kere.
“Parents should ensure that their school going children do not roam around town doing nothing but instead dedicate quality time for the betterment of their school grades,” added Kere.
Speaking to the press in her County Headquarters office Monday, she however noted that parents needed to allow their children to relax, to give them more energy to continue with their studies when schools re-open in May.
