University of Nairobi to administer examinations online

The education sector was the first to suffer from the coronavirus pandemic when President Kenyatta ordered all learning institutions to close after the first case of the disease was confirmed in the country. Weeks later, schools that had adequate infrastructure resulted in teaching their learners online using different web conferencing facilities.

With the first term closed prematurely and now into the second term with schools still closed, administrators are uncertain about which direction to take. With disrupted academic calendars, lack of revenue, and staff to pay, administrators are devising mechanisms to ensure all systems run amidst the pandemic.
