How KE can achieve100% transition to High School without using the police and high handed tactics being employed by ministry of education. . My solution is simple. Make days schools the default school choice for everyone. Unless you have funds you are guaranteed uninterrupted free education at a local day school that has the same facilities and teachers as alliance. This would mean that all tiered school system would be abolished. There is no need of having a system of National, sijui county schools. What purpose does an Alliance serve than just distorting how resources are allocated and shared?. Every kid should have the same access and resources. No one has the right to be given Alliance type of teaching and then the others less smart kids have to do with a mediocre system.
So in future boarding schools should be the exception not the choice of everyone.
We need to advocate for Kids that are not smart in School. Because statistically majority of human beings are average or below average only a few are on the top of the bell curve.
Also, fairness dictates that the taxpayer should not be funding your super smart kid at the expense of his/her below average kid. Every kid deserves the same facilities at the basic level
An A student will remain An A student whether being educated under a tree or in an airconditioned carpeted school. So there is no point of having schools like Alliance. In my arrogant opinion they serve no purpose in 21st century. These schools were necessary when Kenya had no developed university system. In todays kenya the minimum education to get ahead is university or some college diploma. Let us move on to the new decade policy wise and leave the the 70s to the era.
Whay do you think? Is my idea Baloney or it makes sense? Comment

commendable. Kenya is making big strides. Growing up about 10% of kids ever made to high school. The rest cut short their studies. The girls especially. Yes we need to integrated our schools....no need for separate high and primary...and boarding schools. That will take some radical decision making because Kenyans are now used to the way things are...

Kinda commendable but impractical and very arrogant. Having noted that most people are average or below average, it is contradictory to again insist that all children need high school education let alone university. The better investment would be middle level colleges and small factory skills which are not modeled after Moi's failed jua kalulu system. The only thing I really like about your post is the abolishing of boarding schools. No value for money and too polarizing.

Mimimun education required even for 1 brained idiot is 16 years.  College should be for the 50 percent below average should be trained in vocational schools from form 2 onwards
