Luyando Foundation shining stars community school was not spared with the effects brought by Covid19 with the social distancing in every classroom set up in any private, community or public school.
These health guidelines brought mixed feelings to the school management with the fact that the structure of the Luyando School does not accommodate a big number of children with the addition of grade 7 preparation. This was a serious challenge that saw Luyando Foundation and school leaders quickly seek permission and consent from the landlord to put a one-room simple structure to accommodate the grades 5, 6 and 7. This, however, has had less impact as the room was still congested and this has proved a difficulty for volunteer teachers to teach children in and prepare for the examination class.
