Public primary pupils deserve more slots in national schools

Once again, KCPE candidates from private schools will take a majority of the slots in the coveted national secondary schools. They deserve it. As they are used to do, they performed much better than their counterparts in public schools. They had the most pupils with over 400 marks. 

Over the years, the debate has raged over exactly why private schools post better grades than public ones. At one point, cheating was cited as a major contributor to their good performance. However, stringent measures employed to curb the vice have made it impossible for schools to cut corners. So, cheating is out of the question.
