If this injustice is not adequately addressed, parents may have to devise ways to beat the system.

The easiest way to do that would be to let your child study in a private school but register them to sit their exams in public schools.

ION, am told the exam fees waiver is only applicable to candidates in public schools. What are these people telling us about parents with candidates in private schools? SHAME!!!!!

The way things are going, the private schools themselves will start encouraging it, especially now that ranking is no more. I read somewhere that private schools are currently mulling over the possibility of making their schools non-examination centers.

Now that the government is obviously so anti-private schools, they should just ban them altogether so that we can all bury our heads in the sand and assume that all is well in the education sector.

Does these government truly believe that the private schools have outlived their usefulness?

If the current challenges continue and credible solutions hard to agree , then do away with quotas. Both marginalised and private/public.

Somebody said the problem with equality is that we want it to be applied on people above us not those beneath us. The principle of affirmative action for public schools must be upheld. But we must not overdo it. I understand Kaimenyi wants to grow schools that are viewed as small by taking better students there to improve their ranking and status but a student with over 400 missing both national and county schools is unfair

Adapt ,migrate or die. Kama uko na pesa ,stop mourning! Just 'buy' a place at any of the top schools before it's too late.
