We've had two long term govts and one short term one that have not offered any real solutions to this dilemma - other than free primary school education. Hopefully the plan to increase the number of schools per county will bear fruit in the long run. <br />Govt needs to do more in rural kenya to really lift the country from the 3rd world.Sirjondukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835849056467881645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2334041183241469040.post-27759826332013730432010-10-29T19:31:29.340-04:002010-10-29T19:31:29.340-04:00Your points are good.

But one way the government tries to close the gap between urban and rural primary schools is by enforcing different cut-off points to high school intake.

The difference between the posh private schools in Nairobi whose students have access to just about everything and the schools located in rural areas whose students barely eat a meal a day is staggering. National standardized testing is quite a stretch. But then again it all falls back on the country's economic health and leadership transparency. Lets hope the new constitution will bring some major changes.DjLounoreply@blogger.com
