What I'm about to share will challenge us to look beyond the headlines of #kcse2019results and ask the more profound questions. The promise of quality education is made, but how well are we delivering it to the next generation? @kikiwemo @wmnjoya @RookieKE @creckbuyonge (1/12)
According to the recently released #kcseresults2019, the majority of students attend sub-county schools. However, our newspapers and dialogue are flooded with stories and concerns of the 4%. Is this where the airtime should go? @KogaloPundit @misskim_kay @Rita_Oyier (2/12)
@KogaloPundit @misskim_kay @Rita_Oyier Advantage builds more advantage. If you went to a national school, 2 out of 3 of your classmates are going to university. If you went to a sub-county school, only 9% of your schoolmates will attend university in 2020. @Rita_Oyier @RookieKE @Cliff_Otieno #KCSEresults2019 (3/12)

I spent all day yesterday at a high school board meeting. Top on the agenda was 2019 financials & 2020 budget.
School has 900 pupils.
School charges exactly sh53,544 per year.
School has above average diet (3 eggs per week, meat 3 times a week etc)

School also spent sh3M on repairs.
Yet, school has sh9M surplus in 2019. Add sh16M saved in previous years and we closed year with sh25M.
Will spend sh23M to build new 300-bed dorm - contractor on site
Sh2M to sink new borehole - waiting NEMA approval
250k on pupils entertainment system & 65in TV.
=============

Moral of the story?

The government prescribed fees are MORE THAN ENOUGH to run a school. No one should be asking for more.
