Private schools are just hype over substance. Only a select few can afford to pay and maintain qualified teachers. Most hyped academies run on Form Four teachers.
At the secondary school level, no private schools can match historically advantaged schools like Alliance, Mang'u, and most schools up to county ranking.
Most policymakers cannot afford the fees for international schools without corruption.
At the university level, the new funding model is making them competitive.
The main plus for private schools/hospitals is the workload for the teachers/doctors.
The people in charge of policy for public education in Kenya do not care. They send their children to private schools. They make policies for other people's children. I must admit I hadly know any of my friends that sends their children to public schools.
I attended mostly public schools and so did most of the people around me.
Great to see you focused on this subject.
Will Kenya's superior education survive??
I went to public school, so did nost middle class I know.
Seems like they are underfundng education.
