The Ministry of Education was quick to direct parents and schools to online learning. The curriculum developers also worked with counties to tailor radio and TV programmers to suit early learners in their respective areas. For the early learners in ECDE, the challenges were even bigger and demanding given their age and concentration span. Some of the hurdles that early learners faced included not accessing learning due to lack of teacher-learners contact, which is essential for clarification of learners’ issues. Some counties like Makueni have taken the bold step of working with local radios to offer classes to ECDE learners.
