The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media
platforms spanning newspaper print
operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a
leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key influence in matters of national
and international interest.
They are celebrated when they fly the country's flag in global competitions, and when they win, the country's athletics stars get heroic receptions at the Airports and at times in State House - where they are rewarded after hearty tete-a-tetes with top government officials.
When they cross the finish lines, they salute the coaches to train them in their camps.
But a group of crucial individuals - the teachers who identified and nurtured their talents at little known schools, have not been getting their slice of the glory, rarely getting mentioned despite labouring to train at young ages before releasing them to training camps where full time coaches call the shots.
