Learners in both primary and secondary schools have reportedly shunned lessons endorsed by Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha.
A report by the Daily Nation on Wednesday, August 5, indicated that most students avoided online content developed by Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD).
Other platforms such as Viusasa have since figured out ways to make the content interesting by hiring real time teachers who answer questions from students.
The research, conducted by a local telco, surveyed 24,053 students indicating that more girls were seeking online content than boys.
Judging by classes, the report indicated that Form One students were seeking the content the highest at 153,627 followed by Standard Eight learners at 130,916.
The new program would enable students undertake classes in the open, in social halls and other community spaces with teachers on the government payroll leading lessons.
It is set to begin in September, and has been widely perceived as a shift away from the digital learning program which has left many learners from low-income backgrounds disenfranchised
