Time to look at bigger picture in education

Most schools are over crowded due to the free education policy. They lack the necessary infrastructure and are under-equipped. You would be expecting too much from these kids if you thought they would be stellar performers.

The circumstances under which rural students, save for a few outliers, study is not comparable to urban schools that contributed more than 90 percent of the top grades. In my view, examinations in Kenya reveal the widening social inequality rift in education and careers that no one wants to address.
