KCPE need to be reformed and not scrapped as proposed by the Mpig.
The world over the education system are usually revised and reviewed in tandem with ever changing world standards, not scrpping.


I know @Njunge attended the former 4-3-2-3 system of education (Early 30s) and never gone beyond the Elelmentary level 4 (Veteran politician Njenga Karume exited at Elementary 2, equivalent of std 2)

I agree. Maybe instead of doing kcpe for 3 days, they can do it right from std 1, so that the whole series of exam is what is called kcpe.

Now if they remove kcpe, what standardised exam will the pupils do? Wont some answer tougher questions, to deliberately fail them, while some have it easy, again deliberately?

We need a constant! Not just scrapping for the fun of it.....

scrapped is a wrong word, say replaced. over time, education system should be shaped to go in line with the times. the question should be; which one should we move to?

This will need us to ensure that all secondary schools have more or less similar facilities first, Two that there are enough schools for every Class 8 leaver otherwise how will we determine who goes to Alliance High and who goes to the village day school where the closest you come to the lab is in the kitchen mixing tea leaves?

Commpetition is natural, why try to eliminate it. We cant all be equal, thats why we need examinations. Hapo sielewi lengo la Kioni.
