Admission criterion could lead to collapse of public primary school education

Recently, the government allowed equal opportunities for admission into national schools for form one children from both public and private schools.  No doubt this was jubilation to parents taking their children to private primary schools and a big win for the owners of these schools.

Equally it seemed a sound government policy initiative.  But, I wonder how the majority of parents whose children attend public schools felt! I think little consideration was made for the long term consequences of this decision. The long term consequence of this decision in my view is collapse of the public primary school education and exacerbated inequality among Kenyan children.
