The government and education sector players will keenly be observing events of this week as they will determine the successful return to normal learning.
Compliance with the Covid-19 protocols among learners and teachers will be tested after the school community spent first two weeks in the institutions.
Primary and secondary school heads yesterday said most learners dropped their guard in the third week when schools opened for Grade Four, Standard Eight and Form Four classes late last year.
Some teachers say during the partial schools opening last year, most learners and teachers were not keen to wear masks and clear breach of some of the protocols was glaring during games and boarding sessions.

After a 10-month Covid-19 imposed holiday, an estimated eight million primary school learners will this morning start a national assessment.
The week-long assessment is being administered by the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec), but unlike other conventional examinations, there will be no ranking of learners according to the grades they score.
A circular released by Acting Knec Chief Executive Officer Mercy Karogo says the assessments will be administered up to Friday.
The learners’ assessment programme is part of the Sh1.5 billion Global Partnership for Education (GPE) boost towards the government’s schools reopening preparations.

Public schools might face congestion in January 2021 once all students reopen due to the large number of parents who are transferring their children from private schools.
Most parents have lost their source of livelihoods following the adverse economic effects brought about by the pandemic that has lasted for nearly one year.
"I was among employees that were laid off from my company in June this year, and I have been surviving on manual jobs. I will have to transfer my children to a public school because it is cheaper," a parent told

Jasper Kamau lived a life he had always dreamed of.
Kamau (not his real name), a father of two, worked hard to take care of his family. His business was flourishing and he could afford to take his children to one of the top schools in Nairobi. He could afford to pay more than Sh200,000 fee per term for his children.
Then Covid-19 struck and schools had to close. And so did his event organising business, which was his only source of livelihood.
