The government should address the real issues on why there is a shortage of national schools. What does it really take to 'gazette'/declare a school as national? cant we ellevate the a few provincial schools into national schools?

Am sure all those education official's kids are in private not public schools. They are just a bunch of hypocrites.

Why not address the reasons why private schools do better than private?

are parents being punished for taking their kids to private schools? I agree with winston..there are a few provincial schools like Muranga High, Nyeri High, Ngandu Girls,Kakamega High, Bahati girls, Maranda school, Materi girls and that perform better some national schools and ought to be elevated

PB Riruta and Friends Kamusinga are provincials too!

Guys,

What really is the difference between a provincial School and National school academically? Yes in a national school you get to meet characters from all of Kenya. Then what? Again, KCSE results are never doctored by national or provincial schools eti if you were in a National school and score a C you still get to campus.hakuna! I think this is a Colonial era relic that was perfected by MOI and has not been focused on by Kibz. What difference does it make if you get an A in Maseno School or Precious Blood really? In my opinion, all schools should be equiped and declared National schools. What stops a guy from Coast joining a district school, or even village school if he qualifies... Let us move on guys.. let us not live in the era of our current professors!

Any parent will tell you that they want the best possible chance for their kids to go to university:
Probability of going to university is, generally, but not always true:

National school > provincal school > district school

There is definately a concentration of better teachers, environment, culture, reading resources etc at a national school than at a say district school.

A good student can even pass from a district school. But on average the probabilities favour the national schools.
