Top alumni gather to mark school’s 80th anniversary

Kisii, Kenya: In early 1934, a group of young boys dressed only in khaki shorts became the first students to be admitted to Kisii School, a colonial government institution that sought to train young Africans to take over the few available white-collar jobs.

The school was started by the Young Kavirondo Association as a Government African School following recommendations of the Phelps-Stokes Commission report released in 1925.
