As long as the syllabus is the same and is fully covered, and the teachers are equally trained and competent, then performance shouldn't vary. For many years in the past, rural schools used to outperform city schools.

You better start accepting that this jubilee government will take us too far, in circles that is.

I don't understand this business of public vs private, rich vs poor.

Soon we will be saying lets ration power and water to private hospitals so that they come to same level as public hospitals or something mad like that. Or lets have a uniform check list for diagnosis etc

Those are not the root cause of the problem , the root cause is the failure of the Government with the catalyst being corruption.

It does not matter how much you review the syllabus. You need to fix the root cause.

If there is a Wazuan in Government please communicate this to the right people who need to take action

performance will always be hinged on the resources available to the kids, definitely a kid in a household with a househelp, piped water, electricity, internet and parents who can afford text books and revision books will fair better than a kid from a household where they have to work in the shamba, do other household chores, whose parent can not afford text books e.t.c

Even when the teachers are similar, the resources play a major factor, a kid who walks for several kilometers to school vs one who has access to a school bus makes some difference.

but we cant change that since we are born into different backgrounds, but we can try and provide opportunities even to the kids born in poor backgrounds, otherwise some of us would not even be here.

I purposed not to get overly excited by KNEC results.The strikes and leakages dampened our expectations.
A parent was heard praising the smartphone for her child's 400+ KCPE success.
I now wish to congratulate the disadvantaged kids who gave it their all but managed to score low without any form of assistance from teachers/parents.
Reading stories of kids on the verge of commiting suicide due to perceived failure by the community at large makes me sick.
ION where did the giants go? Little known private schools are beating them at their game.

Well, it's time to tackle the elephant in the room-School Allocations.I guess it's going to turn out the same way as last year so just find a school and pray that your child succeeds in life.
