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.
Starting with second term 2017 a new system of education will be pilot-rolled across all counties in sampled schools. The change is motivated by real and perceived shortcomings of the 30-year-old 8-4-4 system.
It is widely perceived that the 8-4-4 system is exam oriented. What many forget is it was not designed to be so. The political, financial and human resource climate never allowed the 8-4-4 to go the way it was supposed to. Just like the new system it was meant to identify specific affinities and talents of the learners and place them into a path that would allow them to optimise on learning and training opportunities.
