Nimeona peasants wamepita mtihani sana which is a good thing.
It got me thinking, why bother kupeleka mtoto shule expensive yenye haiperform akasome 8-4-4?? Ukiamua ni kuspend si umpeleke tu place atasoma IGCSE mara once.
Uwaste pesa kwa some very fancy secondary school ulipie 8-4-4 halafu mtoto ashindwe na watu wako some (Insert County Name of Your Choice) High School. I think it is unwise to waste money on schools that don’t outperform public schools from a value standpoint.
Ukijiskia bazuu go all the way in peleka mtoto mahali atasoma IGCSE etc not this local system. You are either hot or cold sio hapo katikati. You are either a birrionea or not.
Peleka mtoto (Insert County Name of Your Choice) High School ama IGCSE school (Hillcrest etc) and nothing in-between. You are either in a GoK public school, or a private school using the British Curriculum, and nothing in-between.
Middle class unapeleka mtoto Juja Senior (Juja Preparatory affiliate) and the likes which had a B- mean grade in 2019 KCSE (Based on their website) kufanya nini?? They also offer the IGCSE program too si heri tuu ukubali kulipia IGCSE ama ukubali wewe ni peasant utoe mtoto wako huko akasomee public school na raia. Why waste millions mtoto atoke na B- KCSE?? Si heri uwaste hizo millions na mtoto atoke huko na kitu yenye peasants hawana which is that IGCSE education and papers.
This is just uncalled for, secondary education is just that. Secondary! A place where u just go to while your teenage years away, no need to make it complicated. Mtoi akikosa qualification ya Manģu ama lenana pereka yeye strathmore ama upate akikula mogoka na kuvuta bangi like @kush yule mnono before they are even 17.
There are private schools that offer both 844 and IGCSE . All 844 dunderheads were being IGCSE. They used to like it because their grading system doesn’t have 844 shenanigans of who’s first and who’s last(a root cause of very many problems in this country) that’s why 844 bonobos copy, seek leakage ,bribe to get into certain schools etc you know IGCSE even permits you to resit/retake exams! They don’t glorify results like 844 and it’s ‘one size fits all upus’
844 is child’s play compared to GCSE and it’s laughable that people seem to think otherwise. The smartest kids from the Kenyan system struggled to get Bs and Cs so I don’t know who these dunderheads are that loved the transition. Can’t compare a lifetime of cramming and multiple choice vs actually applying critical thinking skills to solve problems.
Hapo nayo umebonga kaa baraza la wahenga. I find the current 844 curriculum and school system too rigid i feel it hinders a kid’s full expression of their gifts n creativity
