All schools in Kenya will remain closed until next January because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Final year exams, usually taken in October and November, have been canceled.
Education Minister, George Magoha, said students would repeat a year as schools had closed in mid-March, three months after the school calendar had begun.
The only exception has been for schoolchildren in grades four, eight, and 12 who were allowed to return to class on Monday 12th October ending months of the closure of all educational institutions in the country designed to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
At present The Learning Hub school has three nursery classes and four primary grades. Our Year 4 students resumed lessons with great enthusiasm while the remaining pupils are continuing their studies online.
Many nations have grappled with how to reopen schools safely amid the pandemic, but in Kenya, where public and private schools were shut after the first COVID-19 case was confirmed in March, the closures have been among the longest in Africa.
We were delighted to welcome back our Year 4 students.
