Nearly 10 million learners out of school due to restrictions meant to curb the spread of coronavirus have been advised to resume radio, television and online lessons run by the government ahead of reopening of schools in January. This came even as Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha assured learners will not lose their academic year. Magoha said the timetable for the rest of learners, Grade 1-3, Standard Five to Seven and Form One to Three – who are not presently in school, will be reviewed to ensure that no child loses a full academic year that would delay transition.
