Now that mutula is gone, did he disappear with the education policies he helped the ministry of education implement. I have seen pupils in my ushago going to school on a saturday. Just like the matatu menace are we back to the shit? Who is the minister for efucation.

You forget that this so-called policy of "no extra tuition" is a favourite pass-time for every newly appointed minister for education. All of them have said "no extra tuition" but none has ever succeeded.

Reason is simple: teachers want it; parents want it; and the pupils want it as well. It is only the ministry that doesn't want it.... and busy-body NGO-types whose kids go to foreign curricula schools!

The parents want it. It is a way of giving their kids the edge in the exams, in addition to registering them in public schools to benefit better.

We had the debate in my kid's school last year - after Mutula threatened to sack school boards. we took a vote at the AGM; over 80% said yes to extra tuition!

Not to climb the moral high horse but I think for some parents it is simply a handy strategy to occupy the kids during the holidays. Halafu mzazi anakwenda kukimbiza pesa. I am rather surprised to hear that the pupils want it as well... Wapi ushahidi?

Some or most parents vote for it cz hawataki kusumbuliwa na watoto nyumbani. ive heard that from quite a number of parents.
What happened to the old days when our parents were happy to have us home teaching us other basic things? The basic things have helped most of us here to be great achievers and performers.
Even class 2 pupils r going for tution??? Sad

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.... Leo Buscaglia
