If each and every pupil (~889,000 of them) were to check results via SMS, that would be less than Kshs 25 million in revenue, hardly the sort of money that would make Safaricom stoop to such dastardly levels as to collude with KNEC to keep systems down, its like doing chokora like hustles with very bad and probable downsides for 15 bob .....but what do I know.... That KNEC Systems admin always chooses this time of the year to be lazy, ama ni phombe induced? ni ile kitu ya jaggernut.

Makini can now merge Makini A and B. Their 22 best performing pupils were always registered as Makini A so the school could shine on a day like this one. The other 200 were registered in B and always had average performance. Gilgil Academy, Gilgil Primary, Gilgil Day School, Gilgil Girls, Gilgil School....

I don't know if they do that, but you should not look at organizations in totality, but as kidogo units - if you have short code targets for any telcom company then you will salivate at such an amount - and when the mouth waters an the tummy growls then the brain is forced to come up with ways of drying the mouth and silencing the stomach. lakini the last time I looked into that biashara, the short codes belonged to third party companies that got the deal from knec for the sms/results system. The 'chokoras' grab part from cars, to supply some decent middle men business guys, who make some decent profit from the sales - though the figures involved for each part would make you wonder why one would go through all the troubles. but again, what do I know

Hope that ranking biashara goes away kabisa.

Mama Makini has spoken with bitterness saying that Countries are ranked according to their gdp's and that Jesus ranked us according to faith. Insists that Makini is King of the jungle and ranks are ok! smh bad air.

The schools for obvious reasons, the media for lack of NEWS I see the folks at nation doing their best to sell some papers Girls dominate top positions in KCPE exams in Coast schoolsits nice to appreciate top performance, I am sure the kids work hard for that - but at the national level, for 12/13 year olds where the conditions and resources available to the students are vastly disproportionate. I say let the celebration/ranking happen at the school level.

Sweeping the fact that public schools are performing horribly under the carpet. Government needs to rethink the public school model. Life is short. Live passionately.

What is she good at outside class? Take her to a technical school. She could learn valuable life skills that would make all the difference in her life.

Your mistake if you enrolled her for class one at the age of 5. Why the hurry? My take: 1. Throw her back to class 6. 2. Dress making 3. Try a small business and if all these fail 4. Marry her off.

If she doesn't satisfy you, option 2 for about 2 years and if it fails, start a biz at 18 say for two years and if she doesn't make it, option 4 pap! What is wrong with that? My statement was " if all these fail". Ni kyau naku?
