Poor network coverage in most parts of the country has affected the online teaching and learning. In most parts of the country there has been heavy floods and landslides. Due to these issues most of the students from the areas have been reporting that they have been unable to remain as consistent as their counterparts from other private institutions who are less affected. The student of the University of Nairobi reported this on Sunday June 13, 2020 that most of them are not ready to sit for online examinations as they had missed most of the online lectures due to network interference.
The Vice Chancellor Prof. Kiama was interviewed on the same by the Citizen Tv about the same issues, where he stated that since the roll out of online teaching and learning, he had not received any complaints from the students or staff on network issues. Adding that the University has been facilitating the staff and students with bundles from Telkom Kenya and that no staff or student was supposed to use their own money to buy the bundles.
The University of Nairobi is determined to deliver its mandate by ensuring that all the staff and students are facilitated equally from all parts of the country. Education is equal to all and the core mandate of the University is teaching and learning. The natural calamities that have occurred in different parts of the country are unfortunate but the University has no powers over them. The only solution to this is for the affected students and staff to inform the management or their departments for solutions to be provided.
