ENGLISH is the language for instruction and examination in Kenyan schools, save for Kiswahili subject.

How is it possible for all these students, to obtain all these A's in other subjects and none in English. They wrote the other papers in English!

B+,A,A,A,A,A,A,A=82A
C+,B+,A,B,B+A-,A-,A-=71B+
B+,A,A,A,A,A-,A,A=82A
B+,A-,A,A,A,A,A,A=81A
B,A-,A,A-,A,A,A,A=80A-
C+,B,A,A,A,B+,A,A=76A-
B,B+,A,A,A,A,A,A=79A-
B+,A-,A,B+,A,A,A,A=81A
B,A,A,A,A,A,A,A=81A
B,A,A,A,A,B+,A,A,=81A
B-,B, A,B+,B+,A-,A-,A=73B+
B-,A-,A,A,A,A,A,A,A=79A-
B+,A-,A,A,B+,A,A,A=81A
B,B+,A,A-,A,B+,A,A=78A-
B-,B+,A,B+,A,A,A,A=78A-
B,A,A,A-,A,A,A,A =81A
B,A,A,A,A,A,A,A =81A
B,A,A,A,A,A-,A,A=81A
B-,B,A,A-,A,A,A-,A=76A-
B,A-,A,A-,A,A,A,A =80A-
B-,B+,A,A,A,A,A,A =78A-
B,A,A,A,A,A,A =81A
B,A-,A,A,A-,A,A,A =79A-
B-,A,A,A,A,A,A,A,A =80A-
B,A-,A,A,A,A,A,A =80A-
B,A,A,A-,A,A,A,A =81A

These are actual results from top 26 students from 20 different top schools.

1st column entry is English followed by Kiswahili then Mathematics. Last is AGP and mean grade.


I believe in social justice and pursuit for human 'arete' i.e maximum human potential, whether in sports, academics, business, creativity etc.

Were the English grades 'doctored' to minimize the number of 'silent' or straight A's?

Or is it that it was not taught, tested and graded well?

Languages were also my Achilles heel. it's not just grammar but literature and composition and for English and Swahili makes that like 6 different testing areas. I aced everything else except these.

Jokes aside, somebody better wake up and smell the coffee!

Here is a summary of random 26 bright students from 20 top schools.

Maths All 26 got silent A's

English 5B+, 13B, 6B-, 2C+

All combined subjects but English 141A, 23A-, 14B+, 4B

Mean Grade 12A, 12A-, 2B+

If this pattern is repeated on all students country-wide, ------ .

I'm not an alarmist but have a keen eye on/for details.

Wait until someone finds a way of exposing the individual manuscripts publicly.

That is when the shit is really going to hit the fan.

Of all the sampled 12 students with mean grade A- (A minus);

Maths: all 12 had silent A's

English: 0A, 0A- , 0B+, 6B, 5B-, 1C+

Kiswahili: 1A, 5A-, 4B+, 2B

All combined subjects excluding English and Kiswahili i.e 72 papers:
63A, 6A-, 3B+

==================
Considering 3 additional mean grade A's

B+, A-, A, A, A, A, A, A = 81A
B+, A-, A, A, A, A, A, A = 81A
A-, B+, A, A, A, A, A, A = 81A


After sampling 15 or 10.6% of the 141 straight A's ;

Maths: All 15 had silent A's

English: 0A, 1A-, 7B+, 7B

Kiswahili: 9A, 5A-, 1B+

All combined subjects excluding English and Kiswahili i.e 90 papers;
83A, 4A-, 3B+

It can be argued that there is a disparity between English grades and other grades.
