    "content": "should come to our Committee, probably this week, so that he can come and shed light on these very many concerns. We have already written to him and we are still waiting. The Committee sought clarifications from the Cabinet Secretary on the following areas: Policy guidelines on virtual and distance learning in Kenya at this time and the status report on how virtual and distance learning is being carried out in the country because there are so many complaints. The measures that have been put in place to ensure that all learners including those in marginalized areas, low income backgrounds, the urban and poor areas and those with special needs are accessing this specialized technology education at this time of COVID-19. We have also requested to know the measures that the Government has put in place to ensure that learners, especially those in early years of development have regular human interactions and social care in order to address possible psychological challenges that they may be facing. We had even written to the Cabinet Secretary challenging them that the learners with physical disabilities and other challenges are not many. We had requested if the Ministry could put them together in some place and make sure that the health protocols are observed. This is because these learners are not accessing learning through virtual leaning or other means of learning."
