STORYLINE
Teachers in Kenya broadcast classes over community radio to keep refugee students learning after schools closed to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Amina Hassan would usually stand in front of her class at Dadaab refugee complex in Kenya to deliver her lessons but after schools closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she spends that time at a radio station.

She is a Kenyan teacher broadcasts to her Grade Five class of around 100 over Radio Gargaar, a community station.

SOUNDBITE (English) Amina Abdi, Teacher, Dadaab Refugee Camp:
“Not all of them have a radio but they can access one at that time.”

With schools in Kenya closed indefinitely, radio lessons help teachers in Dadaab to support over 100,000 students who attend the camp’s 22 primary and nine secondary schools.

SOUNDBITE (English) Amina Abdi, Teacher, Dadaab Refugee Camp:
“Due to this coronavirus, the schools have been closed but education should go on and should not stop there.”

With the rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic globally, the needs of refugee children have become even more pressing. To ensure education continues, Kenya’s Ministry of Education along with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and other partners have devised creative approaches to enable home studies, including holding classes over the radio.
