Parents from the area have raised concerns over the safety of their children following the attacks.
The plea comes after three schools in Witu divisions were closed due to fear of being attacked by Al-Shabaab militants.
Over 600 pupils of Pandanguo, Kakathe and Maleli primary schools have not gone back to school after Alshabaab destroyed a school in the area.
According to Witu sub-county education officer, James Akello, the schools were closed immediately after the terror attack on Pandanguo police post.
The attack occurred two weeks ago.
"My office had to immediately withdraw the more than 20 teachers who were serving in the schools over concern for their security but they would be posted back once security is restored", he said.
Akello said he was hopeful that the schools would be re-opened next week following security measures that had been put in place.
“Three schools have so far closed down due to fear of being attacked by Alshabaab. We had to take them off but will have them back once security is guaranteed. Maybe next week the schools might re-open, let's wait and see,”Akello said.
