Kenya's education system is at crossroad

Kenya's education system is at crossroad

Kenya National Examinations Council has claimed that it has stopped the replacement of lost, defaced and burnt certificates. Anyone requiring replacement would instead be given a notification sheet indicating that he or she sat the examination in question. This is unbelievable. How can an organisation tasked with administering and issuing certificates decide on its own that it will not issue certificates anymore and that is its core function? Also Knec has stopped the remarking of candidates’ answer scripts after the release of results and banned late registration of candidates. Anyone requiring replacement of certificates would instead be given a notification sheet indicating he or she sat the examination in question. Is this surreal? Can knec make laws which will affect the whole country and be binding? What of students who genuinely lost certificates in fires,loss and robbery etc and they want to pursue studies outside Kenya,won't those notification sheets be termed illegal in other countries?Let those given the task of heading organization not wake up just one day with rules and regulations which cannot be binding and are damaging to kenyans. Let this directive be stopped and Kenyans be given a chance to air their views in a democratic, free and fair country like Kenya. No country has ever given notification sheet,why Kenya? These notification sheets are only issued at birth.
