“Teachers have been encouraged to cover for lost time when schools reopen,” said Ms. Mbuthia.
Postponement of national KCSE exams
She defended the government’s move not to postpone exams following the outbreak of the novel coronavirus which saw schools remain shut up to June 4, 2020 the tentative schools’ reopening date.
The KICD Boss is seeking for a common ground that will suit learners from all walks of life. This move follows the numerous complaints from parents whose children cannot access the cost of online learning.
