POVERTY COULD BE ANOTHER CAUSE OF THE POOR PERFOMANCE






I watched the Kenya certificate of primary education resultsof all the schools in kericho town and i must accept that poverty could be a cause for the big difference between the performance of all the schools in the town.Holy trinity primary school was another school with very good results .I went and watched the school population and i really was surprised at what i discovered .then i went to kericho primary school ,it was worse here .And when i went to the highlands primary school \,Then i discovered something that i wished that every body would listen to me.
I realized that the two schools ,Kericho primary school and Holy trinity primary school had an almost similar environment that was very different from that of the Kericho highlands primary school and that of the Saint Patrick primary school.The first two schools had an environment that displayed the life of a well of pupil and the second group of schools displayed the typical life of a low class kenyan pupil .

Judging from the above observations ,it is obvious that the results of the exams were affected by the quality of the lives of the pupils .Those with high quality lives had the best while the others had the worst .There is no way that we can escape from this situation though .,The only good solution lies with the Kenya national examinations Council.

The Council has to be careful the next time that they will be making the exams so that the poor pupils from the villages or the slams can have a chance .Your questions in general ,must come in favor of both environments so that poverty can not be a reason next time.And may this apply to all levels of education in the country.Be it in the high school or university levels.

We can't keep on blaming poverty like this ,everyone is gonna sit at home in a few years time .There has got to be a solution of this kind.
