@siasaplace@BinaMaseno @melvinethogo I have not heard any special plan.
Counselling services, Financial support and Coursework flexibility are critical for these young girls.
Women parliamentarians & their male counterparts should be fighting for such provisions. #SiasaWednesday
@siasaplace@BinaMaseno @melvinethogo Kenya is not ready for safe school reopening. Thereβs a lot of discipline and investment required to guarantee safety of both teachers and students. Social distancing, Access to clean water, Diet that boosts immunity are hard to come by in most schools. #SiasaWednesday
@siasaplace@BinaMaseno Well, higher education reforms are a continuous process. Courses have to respond to emerging global needs, national priorities. They can defund all they want as long as the they guarantee proper use of the acquired skills and knowledge & applicability in the global market.
@siasaplace Option 2, which I saw at my former university @OfficialUoM , is to have a βLaptop Borrowing Systemβ in the school libraries. The university will own these laptops and ensure theyβre only used within the libraries. #SiasaWednesday
@siasaplace The burden has to be shared by both the public and private sectors. For instance, @HELBpage can partner with local banks & saccos to advance a special loan to students for purchase of laptops. The prices can be subsidized through a government fund. #SiasaWednesday @nadia_abdalla_
