On March 15 2020, the Kenyan government closed all learning institutions countrywide to contain the spread of the virus. This is because teaching and learning activities in all learning institutions have severely been disrupted. The Ministry of Education estimates that there are 16,528,313 learners out of school, from early childhood development education to tertiary students. The situation is far worse when it comes to public schools indeed Covid-19 has disrupted the education sector landscape limiting students’ ability to access learning across the country. The overall effect of these differences means that public schools students are disadvantaged compared to their counterparts.
