    "content": "against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the following: (i) Could the Ministry provide a list of all private universities and their first year semester dates, if already set, and fees charged? (ii) Could the Ministry outline measures in place to safeguard poor Kenyans during this time of the Coronavirus pandemic and have the universities wait until the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) processes loan applications for Government- sponsored students? (iii) Could the Ministry push university reporting or opening dates for first year students until official college and university opening dates, if allowed, as will be advised by the Government after reviewing the COVID-19 risk status? (iv) We appreciate the changing times we are in and virtual learning may be the new normal. However, can virtual learning be reserved for continuing students and have first year students, who have not even stepped into a university environment, wait until it is safe to report physically to campus as opposed to beginning lessons before physical orientation? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
