KUPPET has opposed a proposal Education CS Fred Matiang’i to introduce the day system at national school level.
Secretary general Akello Misori has said the move is ill-advised .
He has advised the government to improve infrastructure in the learning institutions.
“Education should not be pegged on food and accommodation. The government should develop day schools of the status of national schools,” he said on Saturday during the Nyamira KUPPET branch Annual General Meeting at Guardian Hotel.
“Issues of facilities in schools, including laboratories, libraries and staffing norms should be addressed. Some schools lack basic facilities...the government should close the gap between schools.”
Matiang’i said the ministry is exploring the possibility of having day streams in national schools.
The announcement during the secondary schools annual conference in Mombasa has attracted mixed reactions.
