Let's stay with the facts: 1/Boarding schools are filling in huge gaps a/ Because of corruption, gov has NOT built new public schools for 40 years. Ideally, every neighborhood should have a kindergarten, an elementary school and a high school. Kenya has a shortfall of schools in the hundreds of thousands. b/ We do not have the roadspace to add hundreds of thousands of learners going to and from school daily. Traffic gridlocks would be a nightmare. 2/ Boarding school or day school is not the issue. Authorities must be seen to do their job and ensure safety for learners in both boarding and elementary schools. -Parents must stop being lazy and not only be aware of safety standards, but also speak up relentlessly to force schools to implement safety standards. Parents, be sober, be vigilant. Stay alert. Be watchful. 3/ As a nation, we must stop being selfish and participate in the collective good, valuing human life, above fat bank accounts and material wealth. Kenyans need to grow back a conscience and practice love for their neighbor. We need to become humane.
