Education Disaster Unfolds - From Universities to CBC

The destruction of one of the promising education system for poor mwafrika by unaccountable detached crazy technocrats.

Teachers have found their voice after terrorising by ufool, Matiang'i and Magoha but the CBC mess is too big they are only talking of CBA and interns.

The university funding could not have come at a worse time as the pesa mfukoni slogan falters. Going by the complaints it looks the HEF did not bother to enter the mean testing instrument data for parents.

No government official is willing to contradict the globalist wannabe now on default settings despite evidence of his outright lies and detachment from reality.

The crises in the education sector are indicators of the collapsing money economy. Hakuna pesa mfukoni.

Ukora culture means everyone is lying they are from single mothers households as they are the ones being placed in Band 1.

KUPPET strike on. Likely KNUT members will be on a go slow or maybe a coup on Oyuu.

Moi university dons demonstrating. The posturing and outright lies by captured VCs mean the crisis will only balloon.

Ndii's reforms are not working. Parents are too broke to afford even minimal fees.

The university management had thought by indicating the high cost of degrees they would get more fees and government capitation, but the reality is students are dropping out or avoiding expensive courses and the government has no budget for the funding model.

Court halted the disruptive University Funding Model. Committees should be reporting back obviously they will have terms extended for more per diems.

As 14,000 said not to have been unable to raise joining fees.

Moi and Karatina universities remain closed.

Polytechnic students have also been rioting over funding.

Capitation for simbisi and secondary schooling has left schools in supplier debt since last year.

Principals are just increasing school fees and other levies to avoid auctions.

With Edu Afya in limbo, schools are struggling to handle emergencies among students.

Notice for hiring 46K JSS teachers remains to be seen whether it is another attempt to buy time.

Construction of class for Grade 9 in January being said to be progressing.

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.

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.

“There’s already a serious financial crisis in schools and it is not possible to complete the term, if the remaining capitation is not released. It is unfortunate that school staff will have to go without salaries. We’re very worried that the debt burden in schools is getting out of hand,” Kessha chair Willy Kuria warned.

“The capitation is purely for tuition and operations. KESSHA urges the treasury to release the remaining Sh6,000 per learner so that schools can be able to purchase the necessary facilities for the forthcoming KCSE and end-of-year examinations for other learners,” said Mr Kuria.

The capitation is generally used for the purchase of stationery like exercise books, lab equipment, and chemicals, co-curricular activities, salaries for Board of Management (BOM) teachers and non-teaching staff, bills like electricity, water, local transport and travel, and administrative costs, among other overhead costs.

KSSHA said the mounting debt burden in schools is getting out of hand. Some schools have been dragged to court by suppliers over non-payment of debts while others avoid supplying to schools on credit.

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.

Lets just go back to 8-4-4 thats what we can manage, we still too backwards to upgrade the education system problems with 8-4-4 is you get half baked graduates but in Kenya you don't need more as corruption rules

[gout]

Half baked graduates is kasuku parroting nonsense. Without a functional economy where do you fully bake graduates? Schools are not industries. The corporate world is one that trains people on the job. This was the nonsense that led to claims that you can have competent 10-year-olds in underfunded schools. Madness.

what happened to 8-4-4? These people keep switching without first identifying and resolvong problems?
We need skill based education system to succeed.
Create more culinary schools, more carpentry, more nursinng, etc

[gout]

There is no more feasible funding to turn schools into workshops. 8-4-4 was scaled down due to funding then came this CBC confusion nonsense disruption. Just like New University Funding Model, NHIF-SHIF deathly experiment.

So they introduce a major policy and then move to immediately implement it at the shortest time possible??
A dry run for a couple years is always the norm
have these pple worked in any major institution?

Biggest problem we face in kenya now is Transition from Secondary to TIVET.
We are barely doing 300k (Tivet, KMTC, teacher colleges)
Leaving 500K kids out of high school without any technical or vocational training.

That should be priority.

Hizi ingine about CBC, University funding and all that is MAKELELE USELESS NOISE.

[gout]

Where will the monies for these TVETs fall from? CBC is 9 years old with 'teething implementation makelele'.
