Yesterday, the minister for education (Kenya) made an announcement that shocked everyone..that a gradual reopening of schools will start next week on Monday. Most parents, teachers and even students are skeptical about it. But as it seems, they don't have a choice. Have schools resumed in your country

That's the right thing. I feel this minister is risking the health of students and teachers..but let's hope it goes well.

It's a very serious issue that shouldn't be rushed over.

It seems that whenever schools open, cases of the virus go up. I hope he knows what he is doing. Schools here are open combined with online learning. I think kids go in person a couple of days a week and the rest is online on Zoom but it varies from state to state and in different districts. When schools open, they are taking a chance. Hope it goes well for your country.

In my country, not yet. We are still doing it at home. They call it 'modular', I dont know what exactly it means or how it works, but it involves the help of parents. I know because my sister has two toddlers and shes doing this modular teaching. Every now and then she takes short videos of my nephew reciting something, and I think she is going to submit it to the teacher.
