The article from Nation.Africa discusses the systemic failures within Kenya's education system, particularly highlighted by the performance in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams. It reveals that four out of five candidates fail to achieve the minimum university entry grade of C+ or better, with only 17.57% of the 2023 candidates securing this grade. The piece points out several issues contributing to this high failure rate, including inadequate infrastructure, a shortage of qualified teachers, and an overemphasis on exam preparation rather than holistic education. It also touches on the socio-economic disparities that affect educational outcomes, with students from wealthier backgrounds having better access to resources and private tuition. The article calls for educational reforms to address these disparities, improve teaching quality, and shift focus towards a more inclusive and practical education system that prepares students for various life paths beyond just university admission.
