It’s time to reimagine future of learning in unequal Kenya
Friday January 01 2021
The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted lives across the world, including Kenya. It has been especially devastating for learners, their families, and educators. Before his latest statement signalling the reopening of schools, Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha cited a lack of compliance to Covid-19 health and safety protocols for the continued closure of learning institutions.
Where learning has taken place, it has relied on TV, radio, as well as digital tools. And while technology offers extraordinary opportunities to connect, educate and unite in unprecedented way, learners from low-income households are left behind without digital access and support. According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, only 20 percent of Kenyans have access to the Internet. Kenya’s formal education system, with a genesis in a colonial past, remains a sorting system for the country’s youth. The pre-existing gaps have been exacerbated during this pandemic, with widening inequities between students from high- and low-income households.
