Poll shows 75pc of learners missing out on homeschooling

Findings by Usawa Agenda — a not-for-profit company — show that only an average of 22 out 100 children are accessing online learning in the country.

This is despite insistence by Education Cabinet secretary George Magoha that children are engaged in coordinated remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It reckons that such admission and a public announcement will help ease the tension that is mounting among a majority of the children who cannot access digital learning.

It shows that a child in a private school is twice likely to be accessing digital learning compared to their counterpart in public school.

The government shut schools indefinitely on increased coronavirus cases with the Ministry of Education introducing electronic and digital lessons to prevent disruption of the school calendar and curriculum delivery.
