What it takes to get to world's top school

Edwin Otieno Ouko

Edwin Ouko won a scholarship to Light Academy Nairobi after hearing of the recruitment from a cousin and decided to give it a try. “I had nothing to lose as my parents were not employed at the time and were really struggling with my brother who was in a local secondary school,” he says.

It was jubilation all around when the youngest in a family of seven won a full scholarship and was admitted at Light Academy Karen Campus. It was here that the young scholar, visiting the capital city for the first time came face to face with what he describes as a totally awesome learning experience.
