And the standardization..

Now this is another stupid invention of the ministry of Education. If your kid schooled in Nairobi and other selected towns, he is deducted marks because of the inherent advantages of his surroundings - he is more "exposed". Your kid gets 430 but his results read 402. Meanwhile, someone in another part of the country gets 382 and his results read 412! Now, woe unto you if your kid [In Nairobi] was attending a private school. He now needs higher marks to go to his school of choice - never mind his marks have already been deducted!!! Now imagine that the private school he attended is actually one of those "private schools" in the slums sandwiched between a bar and an open air market and his teachers were high school drop outs!

One person [trying to be funny] asked why the ministry doesn't add Nairobi kids marks in Kiswahili because they are the most affected by sheng. They should also reduce the Kiswahili marks for Coast kids. All in the spirit of standardization!!!

it's not the printer's fault! it's the persons developing the curriculum. first the number of people that don't speak correct english is growing - this has the terrible effect of people not being corrected and thus thinking that they are doing the right thing. This is propagated through informal methods of communication quite often. Once this 'incorrectness' ends up in print and many eyes don't see it - we are well on our way to pidgin. Entropy of the written word is the last stop to Pidgin.

Big City of Tanzania? Did wanjohi wa kigogoine write this? I have seen many other outrageous mistakes in most 2018 text books even in math(s) books and the GoK dismissed it since million of books had already been printed and paid for, wish they would return them for rectification.
