Boost for home learning in eight ‘marginalised’ counties

Learners charge solar radios donated to them in support of virtual learning. A programme has kicked off in eight counties targeting to empower needy learners access learning resources.

The prolonged schools closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic has deepened a crisis – that of deep-seated inequalities among learners and their institutions. 

During the closure that began in March, millions of learners in rural areas stayed idle as others, mostly in urban set-ups, turned to online learning. However, not all in urban areas had this privilege.
