Kuna mahali nimesema watoto wachome chochote? Ama ni kusoma hujui? Ama unajua kusoma kuelewa ndio chida? Jenerali wacha kuniangusha ankol?
Kama hukuelewa nilikuwa namaanisha eti hizi strike zinaonekana ni kama zimekuwa kawaida sikuhizi ilhali hata zamani zilikuwa nyingi pia. Ni eti tuu siku hizi habari zaenea kwa haraka sana. Hata 2008 baada ya PEV strikes za shule zilikuwa mingi. Ni msimu tu.
wueeeh, i can tell you had waited for long to say this
These things have always been there, but with a much more vibrant media- hundreds of media houses competing for eyeballs which ultimately leads to sensationalism, blogs clamoring for hits and the social media which allows news to spread so fuckin fast the incidences are now much more pronounced and magnified.
Itâs pretty much a cultural breakdown !lLike the great Bob Marley put it, one that does not know his/ her history is like a tree without roots! Our social norms are neither here nor there ! Too much Hollywood if you ask me. Life for the morden day Kenyan is based on a movie script out West! Sadness of life!
sardines are still canned in this day and age.
Mimi kijana nilimuambia wakichoma shule ajue masomo yake inaishia hapo.ajipange kazi ya mjengo.

TRUTH ABOUT SCHOOL FIRES TO BE KNOWN, LINK BETWEEN EXAM FRAUD AND FIRES EXPLORED
It has now emerged that parents pay as much as Sh10,000 to buy examination materials for their children.
Revelations into the raging school fires in secondary schools shows that a major panic has hit principals who had collected millions of shillings to procure papers as the government sealed all examination-cheating loopholes.
Former principals who spoke to The Standard on Saturday confessed the existence of examination-cheating cartels that have blossomed over the years, now stifled by the strict examination reforms. A principal who retired from teaching service three years ago confessed that for a long time, school heads obtained âpossible examination questionsâ ahead of time, which they used to coach students.
âBy July, students will have been taken through the likely topics that would be tested and schools pay for it,â said the principal, who asked not be named for fear of victimisation.
Speaking yesterday, another principal said the examination issue is a topic âonly discussed in hushed tonesâ.
âYou will never find a single person talking about it but there is a lot of tension among those who had collected money and some parents are aware,â he said. The newly-constituted Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) chaired by Prof George Magoha ordered generation of a fresh set of questions different from the ones previously sent to the printer.
The test development process, which came into effect a few weeks after Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangâi dissolved the old board, was highly restricted as most Knec staff were not involved.
Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) Secretary General Akelo Misori yesterday challenged boards of management to come clean on the examination cheating scam.
âMany boards are aware that this money is being paid to abet cheating. This is perhaps why there are a lot of disquiet in many schools because they had paid it in part or fully to the cartels yet they cannot deliver because Knec has sealed off all avenues,â said Misori.
Foolproof examinations
Misori said some teachers are victims of schemes they are not part of. A senior Ministry of Education official said there is evidence to show that parents contribute money annually disguised as âmotivation feesâ, which is used to procure examination papers.
Yesterday, Prof Magoha said Knec will not be drawn into schoolsâ management issues but dismissed merging of examination centres as a point of friction.
