Spare learners the negative influence for Kenya’s future

Children go to school to learn and be molded to become better citizens; able to relate with each other and the entire society respectfully. Education is supposed to facilitate social, psychological, political and economic growth. It is therefore disturbing that an increasing number of students are being lured into substance abuse while in school even as head teachers have been accused of stealing cash meant for running the institutions.

All education stakeholders must wake up and stop burying their heads in the sand as quality of instruction deteriorates. Learners, teachers, parents and the Ministry of Education should step up vigilance and address woes facing the sector. Kenya’s future is directly anchored on the quality of candidates we churn out each year from our learning institutions.
