The government has said it is not possible to get all the 300,000 teachers tested ahead of the schools' reopening scheduled for September. This comes after Education CS George Magoha said that all teachers and support staff be tested for the Coronavirus before schools resume. Magoha last week said the tests should be conducted two weeks before schools reopen and another test done 14 days after reopening. Kenya is estimated to have 317,069 teachers and millions of learners across primary and secondary schools. The CAS said there needs to be a consensus between all stakeholders on the best approach that would be used to test the teachers, staff and learners.
