Teacher's Strike

*I will not put a photo for this! 

I wouldn't know where to start....you know, striking teachers, happy kids, some even teaching themselves.......it third term remember. And the exams are next month for Secondary Schools and Nov for Primary Schools. Talk of the teachers best laid plan.....just as exams are due...poof, strike!

The GoK has been very amateurish in dealing with this issue, from Uhuru insisting there is no cash, Ongeri pleading with teachers to cancel strike and PM, VP failing in their 'mediation' talks. It will be one long holiday for students.

Be that as it may, the quality of education is at the lowest point that it can be. A study by uwezo an NGO dealing with education matters stated that a Std 8 pupil can't understand a Std-2 story..... that and a plethora of other pitiable findings show that we are indeed throwing good money after bad. A complete rethinking of this 844 needs to be done. It's time people accepted that 8-4-4 has done more harm than good to Kenyans. A whole generation is getting lost.......... and for what?

iRest.
