Kenyans have until May 22 to submit their recommendations to a taskforce on re-opening of schools following the coronavirus pandemic. The taskforce chairperson Dr Sara Ruto has asked Kenyans to submit written memoranda to the Secretariat, which is based at Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) by e-mail to covid19erc@kicd.ac.ke or through P.O. Box 30231-00100, Nairobi.
The 10-member team which was appointed by Education CS George Magoha on Tuesday, will also explore ways to restore normalcy in the basic education sector’s academic calendar. The team will advise the Cabinet Secretary on ways of on-boarding students or pupils when the schools re-open as well as document all Covid-19 related matters, lessons learnt and recommendations for future preparedness.
It will also advise the Cabinet Secretary on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the demand for education by poor households and suggest mitigation measures as well as on health and safety measures to be put in place for the pupils or students, teachers and entire school community.
The team will also identify institutions that may have been adversely affected by Covid-19 and advise on mitigation and recovery measures.
