[Reuters]On July 7, Kenya joined the growing list of countries that have suspended the learning calendar due to Covid-19 pandemic.

For families that own the requisite technology, these are not easily accessible to learners, given that within children are at different levels of their education. Learners and teachers need to be well equipped with digital skills that will help us navigate the future of education. Stigma and discriminatory school rules are likely to prevent these girls from continuing with their education.
