Puzzles at the education ministry

Education ministry can be considered as one of the most puzzling as far as the handling of Covid-19 is concerned at least if the public court is anything to go by.
Schools were closed when the country had only three cases and now teachers have been asked to report back to school to prepare for a possible reopening when the country is recording an average of 100 Covid-19 cases daily. Teachers are to report back to school without knowing the specific date when learners are to report back. Anyway teachers have always been in touch with the schools.
As learners were away from schools the ministry maintained that the national exams were to be done as scheduled to a point where everyone was ' let us wait and see'. Eventually the ministry bowed to pressure and announced that it cannot be possible to conduct national examination this year. And farther said that this academic year is considered lost only to wake up today and ask teachers to report to school when even bars have not been allowed to open up.
Teachers are to report back to school when the government's Covid-19 containment measures are yet to be relaxed. The 9 pm curfew is still effect and the government's appeal for people to work from home hasn't been lifted. The education cabinet secretary has been moving from one educational institution to another measuring the social distancing between the desks and that social distancing rule is still in place even in the matatus. That means teachers will have to pay more on public transport.
Let the government open up the economy before letting the teachers from all over the world to congregate in schools. Teachers should not be used to test the waters for Covid-19.
The ministry of education did make an effort to conduct online learning. The exercise has been termed as step in the right direction. The major drawback has been the low number of learner who could access the matriamls. If the ministry could have been creative enough, it could have made use of other agencies like the poster Kenya to deliver materials closer to the learners.
But however much the management of the education ministry is proving to be tricky, it should be noted the professor Magoha who is the current education SC, was at the helm of the Kenya National Examination Council and made tremendous positive reforms.
