We could have done better kwa kweli....its sad..!!!
EPA,DOWANS,RICHMOND etc would have done our schoos good!!!
No, It is Education system itself that produced
EPA, DOWANS, RICHMOND, n.k.
All people behind EPA, DOWANCE, RICHMOND and many other to come are products of
our education system that ephasizes on
examinations rather than
solving problem of the society!
Educated society cannot leave corrupt people in power!
So it started with education system!
When education system failed to measure whether a student really got knowledge or not, it produced people who
do not value knowledge but high
scores to get power - economic as well as social and political!
Once those people get power, they do not remeber to strengthen education system, because they do not value it.
They cannot dare to improve the
life of the
educators.
When Examination scorers are rewarded, while
problem solvers are left unknown.
The students of educator, learning the poor living conditions of their educators, will defitely struggle by all means to get high scores to get power, out of the education system.
Since the education system depends on the mercies of the people with power in the governemt, who do not value education system, the education system becomes weak and weaker that it cannot educate more people.
And because educators also need better living, unethical educators hoping to become like their fellows in other systems of life, are tempted to become corrupt. Teaching to them becomes number 2, 3 or higher priority in their life.
And because time is always moving forward and students need to graduate, it requires that student do examinations to finish their studies irrespective of whether they qualified or not. besides, educators marking is final with little moderations. How can one person critically mark 2000 papers in a week.
So when education system fails to produce learned society, leaders who are elected from that very kind of society will never think of problems facing education system!
What should be done then?
If education system can be improved, it is well and good! But the education systems includes facilities, students as well as administrative academic staffs.
Unless the education sector becomes the top paying sector in the country, The system will continue producing people who do not care about educating our society, and the corrupt class will continue rulling unlearned ignorant.
I stand to be corrected.
