"We are working round the clock to better the process and although the community learning is already being implemented in some areas, by September 2 it should have picked momentum across the country," he said. He said extension officers have embarked on an exercise to map out all open areas that can be used by learners in the community learning programme. He said the ministry is contemplating using school fields, community playgrounds and playing areas with an aim of meeting the laid down protocols. He said the community learning programme will continue as long as the current Covid-19 pandemic is keeping learners out of school. "Reopening of schools will depend on flattening the coronavirus curve which will determine the resumption of normalcy in the learning environment," the PS said.
