An educator who is one of many struggling to make money in Kenya after the country ordered schools to be closed until January because of the coronavirus pandemic has turned a private learning facility into a poultry farm, the Associated Press reports.<\/p>\n

Beatrice Maina, the owner of the Mwea Brethren School \u2013 where chickens are now roaming the classrooms \u2013 says it is usually attended by more than 300 children and has 20-full time teachers.<\/p>\n

Yet now it\u2019s \u201ca disaster as far as academics is concerned,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

As the economy sputters, Maina is raising a different flock altogether in the empty classrooms.<\/p>\n

Blackboards now display her notes on chicken rearing. Dates of deworming and data for feed have long replaced multiplication tables.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope even my teachers are still doing something because life must continue,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Private schools in the East African nation say they have been hit especially hard. More than 300,000 staff are mostly on unpaid leave until classes resume, Peter Ndoro, CEO of Kenya\u2019s Private Schools Association, told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Schools in Kenya have been closed since March. Public schools are in a slightly better state because the government is paying some salaries for teachers and staff, Ndoro said.<\/p>\n

But he worries about the spirits of his colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has really affected our teachers and we do not know if they will have the\u2026 morale to come back,\u201d Ndoro said.<\/p>\n
