Schools and parents who allow school buses to pick up students before 6am or drop them off after 6pm will find themselves in trouble as the government plans to enforce the strict rules barring operations beyond the designated times.
Basic Education Permanent Secretary Julius Bitok on Wednesday, August 6, warned that a majority of schools have been operating their buses well past the designated times, whilst the bus rules are still in effect. "For school buses, our regulations are very clear.
Basic education regulations require that buses should not be on the road beyond 6pm or before 6am.
The PS reiterated that the directive applied to all learning institutions, whether public or private, warning of action from the government if buses were found flouting the directive.
