Nobody said so, re-read the comment for further clarity.

The point is that we need to move on from that, it's already done we all accepted it was needed. We need to take on the next level of challenges in the education system.

If you saw the figures of how many young people are locked out of college level education, you would perhaps understand why it is difficult to purge the local militant groups such as mungiki etc.

Rink??? I thot a Russian company is doing that? Source

Did people notice that VAT on power and basic goods went up from 12% to 16%? This is not good.

And PAYE brackets remain unchanged for the employed and Landlords! Tighten ur belt or buy one if u don't have.

The problem with Transcentury and the railway line is about half of passengers ride on top of the train without paying for it.

Good point @murchr. Nowadays, everybody thinks thatwithout going to university or college they are failures. Most graduates from colleges and universities want to be managers and supervisors thereby leaving a shortfall for guys to do the technical work. The negation of polytechnics continues to deny our youth vital vocational skills that would otherwise enrich our human resource force.

That 4.7 Billion allocation to settle tax arrears for MPs still irks me greatly ...I hope to God someone moves to court and they rule these allocations illegal .. and KRA send demand letters for tax ...Justice Dr William, please help us poor Kenyans, crucify these bastards!!

This is how the education is structured in Kenya


We all want to follow the path on the left yet the path on the right is ignored.

Thanks for the illustration.

Now, the problem in Kenya is that the entire system is not working. It exists only on paper, beyond which no one in the leadership has a clue how to implement this system in practice.

This is a classic case where we Africans just copy and paste models from developed countries and we do not really get to the root of the design to understand the fine details.

Partly, the system is overloaded on the left side due to a lack of vision with the entire education system. I mainly blame the government and leadership for that situation.

Generally, the entire education system has been commercialised and does not serve any particular national interest. We have also used the education system to build social classes within society whereby society looks down upon those who have not gone to university.

The bottleneck at the transition between seconday and tertiary/university has brought about the commercialization aspect -"Universities and colleges" are springing up left right and centre aiming to capture those who are not absorbed in the mainstream universities. All this is happening without a proper plan and vision.

The design of a national education system should be driven by a long term vision of the country. Otherwise it will be extremely challenging to solve the social-economic problems we have.

In this blog post, I paint a bigger picture of how a proper education system can transform a society. Link
