At the Tumu Senior High Technical school, the MCE was not happy with the school authorities who were not ready to receive the students and directed the authorities to immediately do the right thing.

Mr Godfrey Baveru Kanton, a GES director of supervision at the Municipality advised teachers to participate in the exercise or risk infecting themselves as students would be coming from all parts of the country to interact with them.
