Attaining university education is every Kenyan’s dream. Much as having a basic degree does not guarantee securing employment, just owning the certificate injects a sense pride and accomplishment among degree holders.
It is on this premise that parents of school-going children would do everything to ensure their children pass the requisite examinations to gain admission to a university. Even those who missed the chance in their teens to join a university revive their hopes of obtaining a degree by registering for the parallel degree programmes while in employment – even in old age.
