Brian Jumba is one of the class eight candidates who frequent the Library for studies during this period of the teachers strike.He had this to say about the strike and its effects to the children more those who live in the slums of kibera.

I want to hail Kibera children education for having opened doors to education of kibera children through sponsorship and opening a library that has remained the only hope to kids when all the institutions of learning are closed due to teachers strike.Actually ,the teachers strike has been the main hindrance to our education in the past few weeks.

Both the Kenya certificate of primary education and the Kenya certificate of secondary education candidates are the one’s who have been greatly affected by  this strike.Most of them have been forced to stay at home and study for themselves.Most of them have not covered the syllabus and they do have the teachers to teach them, guide or explain to them  what they are supposed to do.The classes have been left empty without pupils or teachers.Some of them who are at home may be influenced by their peers and join bad company.Some of them may indulge in drugs and crime.Most of their parents are off to work everyday and they lack people to look after them,guide or counsel them.With the National exams around the corner,I hope that a solution will be found in order to end the teachers strike.
