    "content": "Okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Across the world, learners are going back to learning institutions that have reopened using a wide range of models. Weighing on the health risks posed by the corona virus against educational risk, the Committee on Education recommends the following- (i)A phased reopening of basic education learning institutions maybe, beginning from September 2020, to allow division of classes into smaller groups and allowing each group its own specific room where learners only interact with classmates in their assigned group. Priority should be given to the National Examinations classes (KCPE and KCSE) so that they can continue with syllabus coverage and prepare for examinations. (ii)The first lessons for students following reopening should cover similar topics, including epidemic prevention, health care maintenance and how to respond to emergency drills. (iii)Prohibition of usual morning meetings and parades, cancellation of all sporting activities and field trips in order to adhere to social distancing guidelines. (iv)Frequent cleaning and handwashing practices should be observed and conducted twice a day; (v)All members of staff and leaners should always wear cloth face masks, desks and other work stations should be spaced at least six feet apart and minimize time spent inside closed rooms. (vi)The Ministry of Education should outline and circulate Standard Operating Procedures for dealing with potential exposure to coronavirus and ensure that learning institutions are able to manage identified infections or symptoms within the school by providing isolation rooms. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
