The government released a revised list of textbooks on Friday to be used in schools following a reduction in the number of subjects.
However, learners in Grades Five to Eight will face further delays in receiving the new textbooks, despite schools reopening on Monday.
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) announced yesterday that books covering Agriculture, Creative Arts and Sports, Integrated Science, Social Studies, and Pre-Technical Studies are expected to be available on the open market between now and April.
The lack of textbooks in the revised subjects has sparked concerns among parents, many of whom have reported difficulties in sourcing the required materials before the reopening, adding to the anxiety surrounding the new term.
