‘Good’ schools were built of the rich, by the rich and for the rich

Racial segregation in public education has been illegal in Kenya since independence. Yet, Kenyan public schools remain largely separate and unequal — with profound consequences for students, especially students in rural areas.
This disparity becomes manifest each year when parents whose children are selected to join nondescript secondary schools go flat out – begging, bribing, highlighting their plight on social media – to secure ‘decent’ schools where they feel their investment will bear fruit.

Unfortunately, no one is talking about school segregation, which is a shame because an abundance of research shows that historically privileged schools and most of those in urban areas continue to have a skewed concentration of resources.
