The most affected sector in terms of jobs during this covid 19 pandemic is the Educational Sector which directly affects teachers and indirectly their children, family and community.

Most teachers have been out of job since March, especially rural and low income schools teachers in cases where technology cannot be leverage upon to ensure learning keeps on taking place.

And much more than learning to ensure that parents pay school fees which also translate to teachers earning their salaries.

A whole lot of funds has been raised on several platforms to give palliative to teachers and even individuals have also gone out of their ways to support.

Remembering how we were told as Teachers not to engage in selling and buying as this is against our code especially on school premises, I think it's high time Teachers needs to be innovative and ensure that the teaching as a profession gain more standard and visibility, and to continue professional development and new methods of teaching and learning.

And even encourage rural and low income schools to engage and embark on low tech method to ensure learning continues as this might be our new Normal for a long time.

While schools are closed which I won't encourage a re-opening of schools soon even as a Teacher, I think it's time innovation and community based learning takes place.
