KP Helps Teachers Navigate Online Teaching with Ease; First Month Into COVID-19 Lock-down

During the COVID-19 crisis when the National State of Emergency was declared, KP Education Systems opened their doors and offered free access to their curriculum and learning system.  This made it easy for teachers to teach online with rigor and relevance.  One teacher wrote a heartfelt response to our efforts after using KP for 3 weeks.  Here’s her testimony.
