Learning should focus on character

Education can be defined as the process of imparting skills, knowledge and attitudes to a person for purposes of bringing desired behavioural change in them. A good education system must transform the society for the better. Has the Kenyan education system served the country?

Kenya has had two different education systems, namely the 7-6-3 and the current 8-4-4. The former, which had an A-level component was ditched because stakeholders realised students needed practical skills, which the A-level lacked.
