The solutions exists. I briefly listened to a panel on KTN/NTV the morning the results were being released and they seemed to have the solutions. The panel was composed of education experts and people who have researched (and written papers) in the problems plaguing our educational system. The panel said the issue is implementation. If we start going into this implementation issue we will open a can of worms. We would have to start another mail list for education issues! --- On Sun, 1/3/10, DAI <svarrer(a)digitalageinstitute.com> wrote: From: DAI <svarrer(a)digitalageinstitute.com> Subject: Re: [ke-internetusers] Re: [kictanet] KNEC giving candidates, parents a raw deal To: bitange(a)jambo.co.ke, "wesley kirinya" <kiriinya2000(a)yahoo.com> Cc: "Skunk Works" <skunkworks(a)my.co.ke>, "KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions" <kictanet(a)lists.kictanet.or.ke>, "ke-users" <ke-internetusers(a)bdix.net> Date: Sunday, January 3, 2010, 3:04 PM Dear Dr. Ndemo, Wesley, Skunk Works and all, We will take up this topic in our January issue 2010 of Digital Age Journal. Our theme is Career, and since the career for almost 100% of humans starts in primary school, I would appreciate if you and others could maybe start analyzing the problem - just right here - then we could maybe have a meeting discussing what we shall do. I am so much in agreement with the statement that citizens complain too much. We as citizens and business owners in Kenya shall promote, strengthen, propose solutions, and put our beard in the drawer together with our own proposals !! I mean - we shall propose solutions, but we shall then also back up our own solutions with action. Churchill said this very clearly: Ask not what the country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country... We shall promote, support, backup our governments positive efforts, instead of electing the wrong politicians and then complain when it goes all wrong. I have a profound attitude in life that if you are dissatisfied with something, then of course you should mention it, but never without taking responsibility for implementing a solution. There is always a way !! If you for some reason end up working with someone who cannot see further than to their own pocket - then just drop working with them... There will always be someone you can work with, who see the light - or whom even are the candle-holders themselves. Look at it from this side here: Yes, there is corruption in Kenya. But darn. There is corruption everywhere in the world. I am from Denmark, one of the so called least corrupt nations. Let me tell you - there is corruption there too !! It has just been hidden much better - thats all. In stead of dwelling on that maybe 20% of your tax revenue goes to corruption - then dwell on that 80% then goes to the right things !!!!! I propose that you send me an e-mail with your name and mobile. Send it to: primaryIT(a)digitalageinstitute.com and sign up for a meeting where we are going to discuss and take the Primary School Education - focused on IT - a step further - and take up that debate. If the contributions are serious, we will print a multi page article about this in our January issue !! I would expect to call the meeting to order on January 18th, 2010 on our location. Write about what you want to contribute with on the meeting. Kind regards Digital Age Institute Ltd.

Already we have B grade students who are not getting into Universiry. Every year we get similar concerns but no one has ever asked if indeed we need KCPE exams. To date I do not know the objective of this exam. If our promlem just like everybody else is literacy, then we only need the KCSE exams. The assumption here is that by the time someone sits for KCSE, they would be literate and mature enough to consider options. At KCPE level, I am afraid we keep on increasing our illiteracy levels the moment 250,000 fail to proceed further. In my view we all have failed to analyse this problem objectively. Media keeps on reporting but not analysing the problems. Citizens continue to complain and not making proposals to the Government. The KNUT, parents, politicians have subjected the Ministry into crisis mode instead of reforming the sector. KNUT knows that at least one third of teacheers in Primary Public Schools cannot pass or did not pass KCPE. Then we ask why Private Schools perform better?

@ 2010 ICT Hall of Fame
by Barrack Otieno 02 Jan '10

02 Jan '10

Distinguished listers Ladies and Gentlemen Happy New Year ! I woke up this morning singing the National Anthem and i want to imagine it will be a great year for this Nation, in particular the words "May we dwell in Unity Peace and Liberty", really tickled my consience. That aside, i attended last years annual ICT awards organised by the Computer Society of Kenya, during the function , the ICT hall of fame was introduced and Messrs George Okado, Engineer James Rege, Njeri Rionge and the Late Dr Juma Aketch were honored, however i noticed a number of eminent persons in the ICT sector and listers were absent for whatever reasons and as a result this brethren (Permit me to use this terminology because of my faith) were not given due recognition. On another note i saw Mr Atwoli making a declaration on TV that some athletes should be given state commendation and it happened, i was surprised because there are men and women who have transformed this nation through technology and have inspired many yet they have not received this state commendation, i need correction if i am wrong. My request is that by the end of this year we need to see names like Michael Joseph MBS, Njeri Rinoge MBS, George Okado, Alex Gakuru, Dr Ndemo, Walu if this means collecting one million signatures then we should start now. this will inspire many Kenyans who are still in school. Let us put aside all sectarian interests an unite in celebrating our very own achievers as opposed to doing them as sideshows which makes the events look ordinary Blessings -- Barrack O.

Dear colleagues Here is some work I did. It is based on raw data provided to me in 2007 by the Ministry of Information, Your comments are welcome. If you use this, please attribute it to me. Rigia ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: warigia bowman <warigia(a)gmail.com> Date: Thu, Apr 10, 2008 at 11:09 AM Subject: Fwd: Kenyan GIS project with postal data complete!!!! To: Steven Levitsky <levitsky(a)wcfia.harvard.edu> Dear Steve Thank you for our talk yesterday. It was very helpful and I learned a lot. Here is my GIS work on Kenya. It is just a nice 'quantitative confirmation' of some of my intuitive insights which we discussed. Please do not circulate the maps, as this is the first time this data has been processed in this way, and I do not want to release them until I can figure out how to publish this in some format. The reason is that people in Africa are not very sensitive to intellectual property and plagiarize pretty freely. I will get you a schedule for my dissertation completion sometime today.

On the role of govt
by Matunda Nyanchama 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

Friends/Colleagues, On recent comments on the role of government, I have this to say: I think it should be an enabler through creation and enforcement (regulation) of policies intended towards desired outcomes. We also need good laws, a sound justice system (fair and speedy) to deal with disputes; the people need to be aware of their roles, rights and the need to challenge their potential. Recently I was asked to address youth in my Nyamira home. My speech (click on this link) focused on empowerment and harnessing the collective potential. And that as much as government has been a jobs provider in the past, it cannot meaningfully be everyone's employer! ---- On the topic of examination dropouts, there is a serious need to focus on this lot. Our education system has this "pass points" at which the majority fall off and the system forgets about them. The need for tertiary training has never been greater - more village polytechnics, more mid-level colleges (polytechnics) and then universities. Past instances of gutting polytechnics to give way for universities have done great injustice to the education system and many young people in the country. ----- Finally, on the issue of roads and accidents; looks like we take a step forward and several back. I re-read an essay I wrote back in the 1990s and was surprised how many things remain the same! Driver and public transporter owner education is paramount! This is especually so with respect to fatigue. Drivers in Kenya don't get enough rest before embarking on the next trip; and because the owner would like to maximize gains.
