Those places in national schools that are not being picked up by poor students are being sold off to parents with money by the principals. National schools had intakes of 300 students average, so if 50 do not turn up and he/she can sell a spot for Kes50,000; that's 2.5 million easy cash. What if all the parents declined to pay the ridiculously high school fees? Let ALL the students stay at home? Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

A colleague was told to part with the same when he enquired what it was for, he was told the intake is already full and that is for construction of an extra dormitory.  No receipt was issued nor were the funds banked like the "other fees". Cash  "Never regret, if its good, its wonderful. If its bad, its experience."

But as long as there is eating at the national level, these activities will be devolved upto the village. Too bad for a growing economy like this one of ours!

My children are in a public primary school. Last three years we've seen it's KCPE results go down steadily. On searching for the reason why, we found that one of the contributing factors is private schools poaching the brightest pupils as they join class 7... and "damping" their poor ones on us! See, while a public school cannot stop a parent from removing a child, it also not allowed to lock out any child! So, private schools mistreat their poor performers to the point where the parents realise that they are better off in a public school... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

See, while a public school cannot stop a parent from removing a child( He means a public school cannot stop a parent to transfer their kid to a private school), it also not allowed to lock out any child!(A public school is a public school;It cannot lock out or fail to admit a student who came from a private school) So, private schools mistreat their poor performers to the point where the parents realise that they are better off in a public school...(Private schools frustrate poor performers who are then forced to seek admission in public schools) 1. Dumping ama? 2. Dont quite get the last paragraph, fafanua? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

I have volunteered to pay for an orphan her school fees, I can tell you that the fee structure I have received from Moi Girls-Eldoret is suspect, using MARS-Group lenses. When I was in high school I paid 12k/year for 4years. Yes it was day na ni county school. Siku hizi sijui hawa mahead teachers wanatengeneza nini makwao.

We seem to renegading on our development agendas! And University was university not Rongo University in the middle of no-where! we are in for trouble in the next 10 years.

And University was university not Rongo University in the middle of no-where! we are in for trouble in the next 10 years. Ati Kisii University keroka Campus,UON Taita Taveta Campus surely hata kama.It sounds so preposterous but its true that some students will graduate without ever having been to a major commercial centre in kenya. Between MKU charges 110k pa for a law Degree while UON charges 174 pa for the same.The rate at which MKU is acquiring commercial buildings in the CBD of towns all over kenya can just tell you how much is generated from this enterprise.Does UNES ever declare Dividends ama where does that money go. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
