How KCSE ‘E’ students can buy E-Class Mercedes?

Good school grades have for ages been viewed as the path to achieving socially accepted goals, yet the means of attaining life’s goals are not same

Gilbert Mathenge, 28, shook Njeng’u village in Nyeri when he committed suicide by consuming a herbicide after attaining a D plain grade in the 2012 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.

Mathenge, who nursed university ambitions, had postponed his secondary education for almost a decade due to lack of fees. James Gichuru, his elder brother, said the deceased joined Kihuyo Secondary School in 2008 after the government subsidised school fees.
