KUPPET Wants Calendar Of School Events Released

KUPPET Wants Calendar Of School Events Released.
The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has urged the government to publish the calendar of events for schools.
Due to lower Covid-19 infections, Health CS Mutahi Kagwe ordered the resumption of sporting activities in schools on March 11.
President Uhuru Kenyatta suspended school sports activities in March 2020 as part of a national lockdown to combat the spread of the coronavirus.
Mr Duncan Macharia, executive secretary of Nakuru Kuppet, stated that the Education ministry should release the events calendar for proper planning.
“We don’t have enough time. The ministry should have released it by now. We need to engage the Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association, music festivals, drama festivals and the Kenya Science and Engineering Fair,” he said.

Secondary School Games in Kisumu at the start of Aug 2019 were the most memorable and successful games in the history of the event.
Mr Macharia went on to say that sporting activities in schools aid in the identification and development of students’ talents.
“School games help us to identify talents. We develop the next generation of athletes and other sportsmen and women who may end up participating in global events.”
Mr Macharia claims that extracurricular activities at school keep students occupied and help to reduce indiscipline.
