Hello, I'm Tamerson Ford. Welcome to Business Daily from the BBC. Nearly six months on from

coronavirus being declared a global pandemic, the majority of schools across sub-Saharan Africa are still

closed, with very few plans to resume any time soon. effect is going to dovetail into the next generation

because we're going to have students that have been deprived and all of this is going to impact on

this generation. And I hate to say that, but, you know, the catch-up time is probably going to be

longer than we all do expect. We take a look at what needs to happen now.

I know that the entire world was unprepared,

but I think with majority of the African countries,

it was just the reality of how badly prepared we were

for any turbulence across our education system.

And whether technology could be part of the solution.

That's all in Business Daily from the BBC.

We have registration as our first lesson,

so I hope to take you through that and maybe through the rest of the day.

15-year-old John Mugai in Nairobi, Kenya's capital,

has been receiving online lessons at home since schools closed in March.

And that's,

that's when the bedlord erodes the river.

That's good.

That's excellent.
