More students destined to benefit educationally

The move by the ministry of education to scale down direct entry points for public university from 58 to 56 for girls and 60 to 58 for boys is laudable. This move will increase the number of students admitted at public universities nationwide. Since time immemorial it has been a preserve of students hailing from national and provincial schools dominating public universities as those from county schools and CDF schools were left out in the cut off points.

In addition students from humble backgrounds who had lost hope of attaining university education will now have their hopes come to fruition because majority of these students learn in village schools with no adequate facilities. Funny enough some schools have no libraries and computer laboratories worse enough, some take classes under tree shades.
