Why national exams should be abolished

Every time KCSE and KCPE results are released, two distinct\r\ncategories of learners emerge. On one hand are those the society regards are\r\nbright who then are honored in many ways including, but not limited to being\r\ncarried shoulder high, getting their photographs splashed on front pages of\r\ndaily newspapers and interviewed on TV.

Then there is another category of\r\nlearners who are viewed as failures. These group have no option but to accept\r\nthat that their destiny and reality of their performance. The fact their dismal\r\nperformance is attributed by the society to their laxity in academic work does\r\nnot make matters any better.
