How to end the odious culture of burning books after examinations

Many people do not regard education as a continuous learning experience. [Mose Sammy, Standard]

Standard Eight pupils in a Nairobi school lit a fire to burn their books after their national examinations. One girl fell into the fire. She received first degree burns on the face and arms and was sent to the hospital for care.

If it were not for the girl getting injured, the issue would not have been brought to the limelight. The burning of books after examinations is not uncommon in Kenya. It is a habit, however, that needs deep interrogation.
