Kenyan students mourn lost year as school scrapped over virus
Bella Achieng (R), brings out her book to show the progress of her studies to her mother Lilian Adhiambo at their home in Nairobi, on August 7, 2020, as schools remain closed following a government directive as a measure to stem the spread of the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus).
The decision to close schools upended life for millions of keen students who will be forced to repeat a year when she eventually does return, and endure months of worry and boredom until then.
