What you need to know:

  • It means two million learners who were to sit their KCSE KCPE tests will repeat classes in 2021.
  • President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered schools, colleges and universities to close in the last week of March.
  • Lesson broadcast by KICD and online content given by teachers have not alleviated the problem.

Children joined the list of major casualties of the coronavirus pandemic when the government suspended the school calendar Tuesday.
