The Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the closure of approximately 90,000 schools across Kenya, causing over 18 million pre-primary, primary, and secondary school learners to be out of school throughout 2020.

However, the digital divide means that internet and mobile network access varies greatly in middle and low - income countries. In...
