@LarryMadowo Careful! You may be traded when payment for operators is due. The other guy woke up there and is still in court. Some serious balls to write this. Hope they don't bust when kicked.
The truth is, Kenya’s obsession with “top schools” is misplaced. Our glorified national schools are a relic that fuels elitism, tribalism, and inequality. While parents fight for spots at Alliance or Mangu, most children are left in underfunded schools that barely function.
Every county deserves schools just as good—but until we scrap the “national school” mindset and focus on fair funding, quality teaching, and equity, we’ll keep pretending a few success stories mean the system works. It doesn’t. Not for most Kenyan children.
