Involve locals in awarding children CDF bursaries

This past week has revealed the challenges that many children from poor backgrounds face in their quest to join secondary school.

The number of bright children whose dreams are on the verge of being dimmed due to lack of school fees is worrying. Reportedly one of them even put his kidney up for sale to afford secondary school fees! What is even more worrying is the thought that there could be many more such pupils whose plight was not highlighted by the media and whose hopes of continuing with education might have been permanently dashed. For a country that dreams of achieving a 100 per cent transition rate, this is not good at all.
