KNUT Secretary General Collins Oyuu stated that the continued closure disadvantages learners, necessitating immediate action.
While speaking in Kericho, Oyuu noted that although schools reopened on Monday, some institutions are still unsafe for learning.
He highlighted that over 1,600 schools are yet to reopen due to issues such as infrastructure damage and flooding.
