EDUCATION MATTERS IN KENYA

  Technology is the practical application of scientific knowledge, most notably in industry. In numerous ways, the world has become a global village as a result of technological advancements. The pandemic that struck has taught us all to value technology in service delivery. Ensure that all of your technological services are easily accessible via mobile devices. Each of us has access to a mobile phone or a computer. Some of the benefits of technology in terms of service delivery include the following:   Rapid response With service automation, it is now incredibly simple to provide prompt responses to clients, who can then take the necessary steps to obtain the services they desire. Chat-bots have simplified service delivery. While the bots are capable of responding to simple inquiries from a client, in more serious cases, the issue is escalated to a human who provides a conclusive response to the customer. Cost containment With increased customer expectations for high-qu...

A program that focuses on the various  learning process outcomes (i.e., learner-applicable information, attitudes, and skills) rather than simply on what learners can learn in based of traditionally-defined subject content. I n principle, such a program is learner-centred and can adapt to the evolving needs of students, teachers, and community. aa It means that learning experiences and environments are selected in order for students to develop and apply information, altitudes, and skills to real-life circumstances. Competency-based curricula are usually designed around a collection of cross-curricular and/or subject-specific core competencies. Competency-based curriculum helps to prepare students for potential by supplying them with expertise and skills in a number of fields of study. They are able to face challenges through a flexible training program tailored to each individual student. In principle, such a program is  adaptable and learner-ce...

Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) is the agency responsible for registration and verification of the details of candidates for national examinations, as well as the setting, administration and marking of the exams. Ahead of the biology, physics and chemistry practical papers, a confidential letter with the requirements is provided to exam centres. The manual should not be shared beyond the subject teacher, laboratory technician and the principal, who facilitates the financing of reagents or apparatus needed. For instance, to minimise the chances of predicting the content of the Chemistry Practical Paper (Code 233/3), the “Paper 3” exam, the Knec provides special reagents to the exam centre the day before. Unfortunately, the reagents are the exact volume required for the particular centre. For instance, during the ongoing 2020 KCSE, two reagents — ‘Solid D’ and ‘Solid C’ — were to be measured to 0.3 grammes and 0.5 grammes per candidate for use during the chemistry practical, a...

Teaching is a rewarding experience, but it can also be demotivating at times. When you notice a lot of students dozing off or seeming absent-minded in the middle of a class. Now is the time to meet with your colleagues and study your teaching methods. There are a variety of ways to try marijuana to improve your learning attitude. We use everything to get and hold focus, including random videos, time-consuming tools, and unnecessarily complicated activities .How then do you  best and easily  increase student interest.   Apply what you've learned in the classroom to real-life situations. To ground the teaching in "the true world," use case studies and real-life examples from outside the classroom.   Engage the students' passions.   Find out what engages the students already and incorporate it into the learning process. You might, for example, have students chart their progress in a video game over the course of a week or even teach some content online using ma...

    Kenya has a long history of lending to students; but in the 1980s, the program was criticized for its poor administration, high costs, and low recovery rates.  The establishment of the Higher Education Loans Board in 1995 ushered in reforms that have broadened the program beyond the public universities to other postsecondary institutions and to some students in Kenya's growing private sector and improved loan recoveries. The use of student loans is an effective tool for increasing participation and equity, although the government must do more to improve the accessibility of secondary education, which is where much of the inequity currently resides. This is a flexible plan that enables easy access to an education for those who may not have the funds to straight up Join College, pay the expensive fee and still incur the first time expenses that come with joining college. University student loans in Kenya assists with mainstreaming the process. However, the Kenyan ...

  For years, teachers and parents have discussed the benefits of homework because the word itself conjures up negative feelings in everyone involved: students, parents, and teachers. While many people feel that homework does more harm than good by putting everyone under undue stress, others believe that it benefits children by allowing them to think creatively outside of the classroom. Assignment of homework has a number of benefits. The first advantage of homework is that it encourages students and teachers to collaborate more closely. Before or after school, they should talk about their assignments or any issues they're having with sections of their textbooks. The second advantage is that it may bring families closer together because students may seek help with their homework from their parents or siblings. This will not only help students understand their work and any sections they are stuck on, but it will also encourage parents to become more involved in their children's...

When opposed to other curriculum fields, high school career education and instruction has traditionally received low priority and support. In several secondary schools, there is only one Career Advisor who is responsible for providing school-wide and timely career preparation and guidance to students in all year levels. With no formal experience or history, the Career Advisor has traditionally transitioned from a classroom teaching position into career education. Given that adolescents' career decisions are unique to them and are influenced by their personal circumstances and frames of reference, it would be beneficial to speak with them directly. This will ensure that the career education they are getting is important and up to date, and that it can be applied to their lives and futures in order to produce lifelong learners and professional career managers in a globalized world. Examining the skills, qualifications, and delivery methods of Careers Advisors will also be beneficial ...
