Following the COVID – 19 Pandemic, this article seeks to give updates on the Closure and opening dates of Kabarak University (KabU) in Kenya.
Following the confirmation of several cases of the Global health pandemic (COVID – 19) in Kenya, the President of the Republic of Kenya has directed that learning in all educational institutions be suspended with immediate effect. These include a ban on international travel, limitations on domestic travel, advice against gatherings of more than 100 people and controls on entry points. This, in turn, has affected the gathering of students in classes nationwide.
As a measure to combat the spread of this contagious virus, universities across Kenya including Kabarak University (KabU) have now been forced to suspend classes indefinitely and move the term’s recess to an earlier date. Students are advised to take precautionary measures to avoid contracting this virus.
Therefore, we have compiled the latest updates on the Kabarak University (KabU) closure and opening dates:
