Irreducible minimum before State opens schools

Last week, the Kenya Women Teachers Association (Kewota) presented views to the education response committee deliberating on the best possible response scenario for the basic education sub-sector following closure of schools in March to curb spread of coronavirus.

In presenting our views, we took care to gauge the perceptions and viewpoints of teachers, who are the frontline workers and therefore will be impacted more by the decision to re-open schools. Our members were overwhelmingly against the immediate opening of schools.
