Kenya's education system due for review

You know you belong to a different generation when you hear your parents say today's Form Four student is no better than a Class Seven pupil in their Certificate for Primary Education days.

If you consider recent reports on pupils in upper primary struggling to read a paragraph from a book they are supposed to have read while in lower primary or those in high school who "murder" English when asked to read a set book, then you begin to wonder how much quality this generation is adding to national life.
