Why can't all primary students from public schools proceed into public high/secondary schools (district, provincial, national), while primary students from private schools proceed to the private high schools? Fair way to do things. Kama ulisomea Makini School, usiende Alliance High, enda St.Austins! Then for University usiende UoN Regular, enda USIU.  Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

@Marex,
National schools are concentrated in Nairobi and Kiambu district to the detriment of the local students. The government should build national schoools from scratch countrywide. No school near Nairobi or Kiambu should be made a national school. Making schools National should be fair and should be regionally balanced. We all need some good schools near our areas. Is Gabra Tura High school still a national school?

As unpopular as this may sound,I like this approach.I was in one of "THE" national schools and while my ka-primary achieved beyond expectations and took 2 of us to that national school, Makini brought in 13,Busara about 10 and Elite quite a number.Funny enough, at the end of the 4yrs the top 25 students were mostly poor chaps from Nyanza,N.Eastern,Western etc. One of them was Abdikadir from N/E who got in with 549/700marks....What does that prove? The poor kids need an equal opportunity in life to break the cycle of poverty.Education is one of the few "Social Bridges" on earth.Give them better opportunities and reduce Mungiki in Kenya! For investors,build more private high schools and money will come your way. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

We need to see why private schools came about. Why are we in this situation? I went to public schools throughout my life. Have graduate teachers stopped migrating from the profession?

@ Fundamentali......There are 4 national schools in Kiambu and more in Nairobi. There is no single national school in Western and North Rift. The biggest national school in the rift..Nakuru high has gone bananas.Garba Tulla was reduced into a district school after its 2 year closure.. BTW Most students who school in prestigious private schools like Riara and Makini are nowadays proceeding to illustrious private schools like Sunshine, Kianda, Wami, Juja and Light Academy while a better percentage end up in IGCSE school. I once taught at Riara high school and more than a third of the form one girls used to come from its two primary schools The way I am

@bwenyenye, your point would make much sense especially if we scrap KCPE like Kioni was suggesting But at the end of the day some school will outperform another and parents will all want their kid in the 'good' school.  What a wicked man I am!The things I want to do,I don't do.The things I don't want to do I find myself doing

You meant KCPE... i bet. Well, the government should ask itself why the private schools children are performing better than public school children... it should review the work ethics of its employees there. Not in a bad way but the teachers now in public schools have started behaving like the old time moi civil servant who would appear on a monday and leave the jacket and come to collect it on a friday mid morning. They do not put extra effort to teach these students... its not like children in private schools are all clever, but the teachers have to put extra effort. A child in a public school is left to fed for himself given that majority are there because their parents can not afford a private school. Infact, public schools should be the preferred choice of any student because of the resources a thinking government can afford to employ.... They should whip the teachers and give them good incentives at the same time..... Infact, that should be their motto "the preferred choice for all your education needs!"
