Teachers moving from home to home to coach students in their respective areas of residence are violating the guidelines to prevent the spread of coronavirus, Police have said.
He was responding to a tweet from one Sylvie Nsanga, which said it was difficult for teachers and their students to observe physical distancing during homeschooling.
In his response, the Police spokesperson emphasized that teachers were not allowed to find students in their homes, hence encouraging the adoption of e-learning practices as well as following lessons delivered on radio and television.
"Coaching in a sense where a teacher will bring together a few students to teach them is against the directives on social distancing that is in place, and so is prohibited at the moment," Gaspard Twagirayezu, State Minister of Primary and Secondary at the Ministry of Education, said.
For the students who can't access the e-learning platforms, Ndayambaje said that REB delivers lessons through radio and television.
