Key Information

The development objective of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Learning Continuity in Basic Education Project for Kenya is to enhance access to online and distance learning for all students in primary and secondary schools and facilitate a smooth transition in the return to school for targeted vulnerable students. The project comprises of three components. The first component is expanding existing remote learning opportunities for learning continuity for all students in basic education. It consists of following sub-components: (i) support access and delivery of inclusive online content to all students in primary and secondary school; (ii) teacher training in interactive remote learning methodologies; and (iii) create an integrated monitoring and evaluation system for remote learning interventions and provide support for parents and caregivers to monitor student learning. The second component is facilitating smooth transition back to school for vulnerable students and girls, when schools reopen. It consists of following sub-components: (i) support to the national school meals program; and (ii) provision of online based psychosocial support services. The third component, project coordination, communication, and monitoring and evaluation aims to support project implementation, selected monitoring and evaluation activities, and to build capacity of Ministry of Education (MoE) to conduct virtual meetings during the COVID-19 period and beyond.
