The Grade 10 transition has in the last few weeks been nothing short of a nightmare for the majority of parents and teachers. To headteachers across the country, count yourselves as some of Kenya’s valued miracle workers. I watched in horror as Education Cabinet Secretary Migos Ogamba addressed you from a raised pedestal threatening fire and brimstone if you don’t admit all the students that turn up at your gates whether they have uniform or not or whether they had school fees or not. I did not hear him add, which he ought to have, that you admit whether they have beds or not, whether they have desks or not and whether you have classrooms or not, just admit.
