Parents shop for books at Savanis Book Centre in Nairobi yesterday ahead of schools reopening next week. [David Gichuru, Standard]The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has recalled all its field officers presently on leave to report to work in a final push by the government to secure schools ahead of opening. And while in schools, the TSC directs that field officers liaise with school administrators to receive feedback on any challenges experienced in implementing the health protocols. The TSC officers will be required to coordinate with the Ministry of Health and other trained teachers to offer psycho-social support to learners and teachers adversely affected by the disease. The directive by the TSC will put pressure on school heads, who will bear the greatest responsibility of containing Covid-19 in schools.
