Everyone agrees that Education CS Fred Matiang’I has done a good job so far in streamlining the education sector. From releasing results unexpectedly and catching people off guard to cancelling worthless courses offered by prominent universities, the Cabinet Secretary has really paved the way for the education sector. Not to forget, releasing a new curriculum set to take effect from May this year. This is admirable from a common mwananchi’s point of view because seeing a top person in government really actualising changes in a scandal - riddled sector brings hope that he has good intentions for the education sector.

However, when cleaning a house, I think from the ground up is the best way to do it. In terms of trying to change the learning structure and curriculum Matiang’i is on point but does he really know what goes around in campus in terms of lifestyle of students? I’m not sure if he is supposed to address this but since he is the Cabinet Secretary for Education and is hell bent of cleaning up the ‘rot’ in universities as experts put it, Mr. Matiang’i should know that he still has a long way to go to change the environment where students learn.
