How to reduce educational wastage in Kenya

How to reduce educational wastage in Kenya

Answers

Raphael
a) For those who drop-out from school for reasons of ill-health, school heads and medical units of schools should monitor student’s health so as to detect those who are sick and need medical attention. The Federal and State Ministries of Education, Voluntary organizations, Financial institutions like banks and wealthy individuals should award bursaries and scholarships to students to enable those who may drop-out to complete their programmes.
b) The National Educational Technology Centre should assist schools by donating instructional materials to them.
The quality of the teacher should be improved for better performance on the job. Educational institutions should organize conferences, seminars and workshops for serving teachers on the improvement of teaching
methods and techniques.
c) There is now more emphasis on science and technology, computer science and allied courses. So, the contents of our curriculum should be in line with science, technical and computer areas.
d) The management or administration in our educational institutions should be re-examined with a view to
improving its quality. First of all, the various national and county Ministries of Education and their agencies should as a matter of necessity appoint qualified and competent educational administrators to head various institutions. Politics should not influence the appointment of educational managers or administrators of our institutions. Administrator of our educational institutions, be the Primary school Headmasters, Secondary school Principals, Provosts of our Colleges of Education, Rectors of Polytechnics and Vice-chancellors of our Universities should be democratic in the management of affairs of their institutions.
e) Educational institutions should continue to lay emphasis on continuous assessment. Certificate acquisition, should as much as possible be de-emphasized.
f) The graduates of our various schools or educational institutions should acquire changes in behaviours and thoughts as desired by the society. Our graduates should fit well into the society.
