Appreciating the work of teachers in Kenya, especially teachers in public schools, who are making the best of the resources available to them to provide a safe environment for all learners. Together we shall outlive COVID 19! Keep working on, ignore grumblers and complainers.

Some African Africa experts have demanded I tweet this: "Tell wakina CNN, BBC, when there is chaos in Africa, they have western experts talking about us. Now USA is burning, we wan't our chance too. We are experts on state failure, democratic fragility & regime illegitimacy".

Been thinking of how you can sanitize cash amidst COVID-19 pandemic? An Mpesa agent has invented a Cash Sanitizer which he uses in his shop in Mwea, Kirinyaga County.

@KICDKenya @TotolelaW @EduMinKenya @BenMwalimu1 @_Lunani @OfficialKPSA @TEACHERSinKENYA @DStv_Kenya @GOtvKenya @StarTimesKenya @Zuku_WeCare @BambaTVKenya @azamtvtz Learners in remote rural Kenya are missing out big time! COVID-19 Lock-down will reveal a glaring digital divide and the gap on access to education has just been widened even further. Locate any of the issued laptops and put them to use wherever the children are. @CSMagoha

[Teach For Kenya @TeachForKenya]

@CSMagoha Do we know where the laptops that were supplied to selected schools are? Could we use them with KCPE candidates to access online lessons in those regions? Given the mobile network coverage across the country @SafaricomPLC @AIRTEL_KE @Enterprise_TK Why not? @KICDKenya

[Teach For Kenya @TeachForKenya]

We should trace and account for the laptops-for-schools provided by the government in the last few years, this is a good time to partner with @SafaricomPLC to keep disadvantaged rural children learning @WilliamsRuto. Let us leverage on extensive mobile network coverage @KICDKenya

[Teach For Kenya @TeachForKenya]

@KICDKenya Post-secondary and Higher Education Institutions' possible re-opening should be discussed as well. I see this committee was not mandated for that category but their plight is equally weighty.

[KICD @KICDKenya]

CALL FOR SUBMISSION OF MEMORANDA!
The National COVID-19 the Committee now invites all stakeholders and the public to submit their views on the best possible national response in line with the Terms of Reference for the basic education sub-sector.

California's legislature imposed a two-year moratorium on the expansion of online #charterschools. Senior fellow Bill Evers says that in light of the #CoronaCrisis the legislators should reconsider this "blockage of learning."

Online classes are as substandard as online workouts. Primary schools should stop pretending and instead give kids assignments like ‘feeding your pets’, ‘watering plants’ and ‘picking up your toys.’ These would help build life skills, self esteem and develop personalities.

Teachers to students during the pandemic: We miss you and can’t wait to see you (in person!) again. 💕

Our rhino patrol teams have not yet determined the sex of the baby rhino because capturing the calf to examine it would be unnecessarily intrusive and stressful to both mother and new born. We prefer to live it as natural and wild as possible. #rhino #DiscoverKWSParks #Kenya

[Kenya Wildlife Service @KWSKenya]

NEW KID ON THE BLOCK: We are thrilled to report the birth of a white rhino in Nairobi National Park.The lucky mother rhino had gone into hiding from hawk-eyed rangers only for her to resurface today with a three-day-old calf. Welcome to the family baby rhino. #DiscoverKWSParks
