Just continues to show that the current leadership doesnt know dot about how to run the educational system and are refusing to admit that either they are absolutely incompetent or whoever designed their computer selection program is a fraud or corrupt money is allowed to destroy the lives of young innocent class 8 graduates!

Nairobi county alone has 44 students...
...The students from Makueni county passed so well. So the question of whether they merited to be selected or not is out.

That form 1 selection for this year was an absolute sham! Most counties (and districts) couldn't get their best students to good schools.

Surprisingly, 182 are from private schools and 75 from public schools.

I now understand why governors are clamouring to devolve education so that schools in their county can admit more students from that county.

Get ready for a total mess shortly. I still recall what happened to one of our stellar performers when the admission system was tampered with. The school never recovered.

Something is happening at the Ministry of Education that needs to be sorted out.

I think private schools have the ministry officials in their pockets or they own these private schools.

If we cannot afford the underprivileged in society a chance to a good education, we will have a huge development problem 20-30 years from now.

^^^ Tyranny it is.

I think I said it here, this Kaimenyi chap has to be the posterboy for incompetence.

I also know a girl who scored 401 marks and did not get a calling letter and all because she was in a private school.

So it seems, siku hizi pesa ndio kila kitu! ISORAIT! ISOKEI!

I wonder. Instead of addressing the problem that has made even poor parents to squeeze the last of their resources to take their kids to private academies, namely poor quality in public schools, we are busy punishing them for daring to invest in their children's education. Bearing in mind the secondary schools from which they are restricted are public, built with public funds, does this mean their parents are second-class taxpayers ama hawalipangi tax?
