    Lee, you are a true legend. I only disagree on system of education in Kenya and unemployment. Education has intrinsic value including geography, history, zoology, etc. Instead of training for employment, focus should be on how to apply the education acquired to solve contemporary social problems, including the ones Lee mentions: plumbing, building, mechanics. The key to addressing unemployment is how to monetise knowledge, skills, experiences, acquired through education, interactions, networks, etc.
