Private schools have partnered with a local bank to roll out a nationwide online teaching and learning for its 2.4 million children during the Covid-19 pandemic. The initiative, dubbed ‘Masomo Iendelee, Linda Mwalimu’, seeks to keep children in private schools engaged and also get teachers in those some income to sustain them during the pandemic.

The plan by private schools is parallel to the Community Learning Initiative that will use teachers in public schools, already on Teachers Service Commission payroll. The initiative is a huge relief to private schools, some of which had already shut down or temporarily suspended operations.
