People, CBC is expensive not because it requires people to buy stuff. You're being required to buy stuff to cover up the fact that CBC is based on a hollow education philosophy and teachers don't know what they are doing. To make you not notice, they distract you with trinkets.

Once you make employment more than your kids learning to read and think, the teacher has to keep requiring gadgets to make employers know that the kids can work. I've been saying that the costs of education can be brought down if we stop demanding "employment ready" graduates.

It is evil for us to expect 16 year olds to leave school "employment ready." That's child abuse. Basic education up to secondary school is for kids to learn to think, write and create. Work and CBC should be at the post-secondary school.

But the problem of Kenyan parents is that they've swallowed that employment nonsense. That why they accepted CBC, and that's why the supporters of CBC sing its praises. CBC will remain until we understand that tying employment to children is ridiculous.

We should stop listening to madharau of employers sneering at fresh graduates about what the graduates don't know. We have probation periods in employment precisely so that workers get time to acclimatize. Employers need to give people time to learn, or train their own workers.

And anyway, why are employers getting so much airtime in dictating our education system when we have been saying that our graduates should not seek employment? If we want graduates to create their own vocation, then we need to stop listening to pirate sector on education matters.

To get a work skill, a child must have learned to think, create and seek knowledge. We need to do that in primary and high school. CBC needs to be kept out of primary and secondary school and put in technical training where it belongs.
