International schools have aborted a plan for the second phase reopening of its institutions that was slated for October 26. In a circular to the institutions, Kenya Association of International Schools notes that the decision was reached following a surge in infection rates. International schools, just like other institutions began Phase One reopening for in-person learning on October 12. This, Mwangi says, will give a chance to conduct an audit of this initial phase and iron out a decision model for reclosing and reopening schools as needed due to a resurgence of community transmission. So too, the association has given leeway to the institutions to revert to virtual learning should in-person learning of any kind is impossible to implement.
