@jubilee203 ...i was at a pizza parlor a few days ago.in the U.S.A.I saw a
bunch of little black girls with there hair done up so pretty with beads
and braids...i looked around i bet there were 25 of them and i also noticed
about the same number of little white girls none of whom had so much time
and care and LOVE put into their hair... these white mothers need to take a
lesson from their black sisters on the love of their children...btw I am a
great big white guy who likes to shave his head.
@surambaya What i have a problem with is the contents of those tests and
how they are solely used in Kenya to determine a students admissibility to
the next level. For one these kids are at the age where they really need to
develop critical thinking skills to compete in a globalized economy; this
test lacks that edge. Another thing here in the U.S, schools look at the
overall merits of the student i.e GPA, leadership, sports, volunteer,
background plus stand. tests to get a place in a univ.
@lubangad thats completely untrue, if you pass with an A and gain entrance
at the school of Nairobi University school of medicine and become a Doctor
u certainly do well in life, or if you go to the school of engineering you
certainly have expanded chances, you can not say those people performing at
that level dont know their material, just because you could not make it
does not translate into"the system is flawed!"
KCSE is a very outdated and seriously flawed exam that doesn't determine
one's success in life. The only thing this result shows is years of
memorization and restating answers. What determines the students' level of
success later on in life is the ability to demonstrate a superior level of
critical-thinking. On the contrary, this exam is very superficial and
doesn't provide an objective measure of achievement.

@Truthseeker610 - Interesting comment. KCPE, SATs, LSATs, GREs, GMAT etc
are all standardized tests in the same way KCSE is a standardized test.
These are not meant to be indicators of success in life (BTW - how do you
define success?) but rather benchmarks aimed at gauging one's ability to
perform well in a structured academic environment.
Way to go Kenya. I wish the Black American in the US would take their
education as seriously. With no outside help, unlike Asia, with not much
natural resources you still maintain a decent livable country with pride.
If black americans would take pride in academic as much as athletic we
would be a much respected race.
@Truthseeker610 couldn't agree more with you! KCSE is a rubbish exam and
these people celebrating a lot of them will be miserable in life. It won't
guarantee success with all that drilling and memorization. These thing
about school ranking must stop
@emadkay1 What is the basis for this argument? what do you wish replaced
KCSE?
