I think schools will have to scrap their boarding sections for the time being if they are to reopen.
You can't scrap boarding. Most boarders live very far from school. Very few are within commuting distance.
There is no point scrapping boarding until 2021. The vaccine will still not be available to Kenyans even in 2021.
The country needs to start taking calculated risks.
Open boarding schools. Test the students before school starts. Only those who test negative are allowed in. And they are not allowed to leave school even to visit family. If they leave, they can't come back.
For classroooms, the govt should start seriously exploring having classes outside. Tents, Vibanda, under trees etc....
Go back to the 1950s when most classes in Kenya were held under trees[/quote]
Scrapping boarding schools simply means enrolling your kids in the nearest school from where they live. Still a bad idea.
Imagine being forced to withdraw your son from The Alliance High school and enrol him in Maguna-andu day secondary school. The idea alone is quite repugnant.
