Dr. Fred Matiangi is a new hero in the country. His achievements in education sector so far has proved that it is all possible. Keeping examination cartels at bay called for self-sacrifice and resilience. Matiangi passed the test that his predecessors failed terribly. Delivering the most honest KCPE results in the history of Kenya amongst other surprises has melted most Kenyan hearts. Dr. Matiangi is a true picture of a selfless public servant. Delivering what Kenyans pay him to do.
It calls for self-sacrifice to end graft in Kenya and other government officials ought to borrow a leaf from the education CS. He woke up early in the morning just to be sure that our pupil’s exams are safe and are administered fairly and squarely across the country. It was a one month tour in the whole nation in quest to restore exam integrity in Kenya.
Exam cheating translates to corruption in education sector. Curbing cheating in our schools basically translates to competed workmanship in the near future. Cases of quack doctors and certificates of doom maliciously acquired from our institutions will be a thing of the past. Nevertheless, as the CS advances in restoring the pride to Kenyan education, something needs to be done in regard to the quality of university education as well as degree courses being offered.
Many are the courses formulated by our universities that lack depth in curriculum. When you contrast them keenly with other related courses, you find that the distinction is very minute. They lack correlation to what the industry requires hence a major contributor to high number of unemployed graduates in the country. Red flag has been raised to degree buyers and hopefully that will come to an end. It calls for self-sacrifice to end graft and other related social injustices in the country.
