Of late, the Kenya’s education
system has come under attack from various quarters. They say that it
concentrates more on theory than the practical aspect of it. A good number of
writers and those aspiring to be find a field day in attacking the system which
probably they went through.
It’s high time we be proud of our
education system; critique it in the most constructive ways. Instead of predicting
doom, we can focus on the pros in it. This will give hope to the youths and the
future generation. The criticisms have now given people reasons not to advance
in their education. For those who are in the system end up giving it little
focus on the excuse that the system is inferior.
I can proudly say that the system
is not inferior as the critics would like to make us believe. If I may ask what
yard stick are they using to compare Kenya’s system? In order to come with
reliable and proper conclusion we have to compare our system of education with
another and make relevant adjustments. We must also remember that, nothing
designed by man is perfect.
What ails Kenya at the moment is
our attitude and culture as a nation. Companies are unwilling to give fresh
graduates internship opportunities. None the less, those that do, expect fresh
graduates to perform more of less the same as regular employees, amidst
relevant orientation and training. Some even go ahead to give interns chores
such as photocopying, serving tea among others. Our graduates need opportunity,
inspiration and motivation to perform optimally.
