Quote:When The Standard visited the school that is tucked between Komarock estate and Kayole slum, voices of students and teachers singing could be heard from a distance.
The school that registered 22 students for last year’s KCPE had a mean score of 424 marks, with the lowest candidate attaining 405 marks.
So we now want to shield kids from competition as if life after school will be mteremko? The earlier you get used to survival of the fittest the earlier you adapt. Our parents competed, we competed. Education is just one aspect of competition in life. I know of many people who are now successful despite being below average academically and vice versa.
