What we call schools especially private 'middo crass' academies lost the plot a long time ago. they hardly have space for playing even kata, no PE no fun no games no interschool drama athletics soccet etc tuition starts in kindergarten . our schools are mills of social misfits. We need to relook at our curriculum. And you wonder at the kind of artistes .ke produces "๐๐กKQ makes money for everyone except the shareholder ๐๐ " overheard in Wazua

Education today is all about the school and not the kid,we prefer better learning environment. Talent is best discovered at home and nurtured.

Its mostly to do with the parents who see schools as prisons which help keep away their small troubles and house helps as guardians to their children. A parent should notice and help mould a kids talent - that's not the work of a school.

[quote]Kenya: Secondary education in Kenyaโs top public schools is slowly becoming a preserve of students from well-to-do families as head teachers ignore Government guidelines to keep fees affordable. Parents are now struggling to shoulder the cost of secondary education that has gone through the roof, and many have even been forced to remove children admitted to national schools after failing to keep up fees payments. Ministry of Education guidelines recommend that public schools charge Sh18,000 per year, while the Government tops up Sh10,265 for every student. But the fees have soared to as high as Sh100,000, driven up by a raft of new levies introduced by head teachers. The state of affairs that seemingly offers education to the highest bidder has put the future of thousands of bright but needy students in jeopardy Read more at: http://www.standardmedia...ya-s-top-public-schools[/quote] If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

What would you say are the extra-ordinary items in that amount which you can say are suspect? In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience.

Assuming that the fee for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd terms is 8K, 6K, and 5K respectively, that total fee is fair considering that your nephew is in form four and examination fee is kinda expensive.
If the maths doesn't add up, check that fee structure again with macro-lenses. These young people are capable of anything. 2,800 could be made 28 K. Live Full Die Empty - Les Brown.

Whats really happening in kenya.This middle class mentality of accept and move on and not asking the hard questions is our greatest bane.Now how how does a public high school supported by the Government with Teachers on the Government payroll charge more than a private high school whose foremost objective is to make profits.How now does one public School charge double the other in the same country(my nephew has an admission letter from Ribe High with an annual fees of KShs.56,000, Kisii High's annual fees is approximately 110,000. As we run helter skelter chasing the ghosts of corruption in Govt bealive me High School principals are the latest Millionaires we are minting from corruption. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
