I heard about Strathmore school's policy and couldn't believe my ears...that is as high a moral ground as any I've ever heard of. Reeks of "holier than thou" syndrome that plagues many institutions with a religious background - no offense.

Anyone from PB Riruta to confirm that during the biology classes of the 90's (circa 1995-1998), the teachers used to staple together pages on Animal Reproduction (best topic by the way) under instruction from the nuns who run the school at the time to discourage knowledge of conception, contraception and all other related matters?

Ignorance is not bliss...

but it is unconstitutional!!!!!!! The new constitution outlaws any form of discrimination. I underwent similar treatment in Daystar. I applied for a masters degree in communication a year ago. I was told that the application form wont be processed if I don't write a half a foolscap testimony. 3 weeks later, I was informed that my application cannot be processed because I was not qualified on religious grounnd

I have friends who live in Kahawa Sukari - very loaded. They took their son to Strathmore and after the son passed the interview, it was the time for the parents to be interviewed. After numerous questions some bordering on ridiculous/insane/bla bla bla, they "passed". The "welcoming" statement almost made the kid's mum explode! Your son will be our first students from "those sides". The way "those sides" was said was like Strath had just pulled a jolie/madonna on the kid. Wacha the mum wakas. "What do you mean? Do you mean he will be lesser than the other kids?...". The hubby steps on her and she goes "stop stepping on me. I haven't finished...".

And after all that, the kid was miserable at the school! Apparently most of the kids were so pretentious they bored the kid to death! Ultimately they had to transfer him. Actually the wife transferred him when the hubby was out of the country on business. Hubby flies in morning hours, goes to strath to pay fees and he's told "Your son hasn't reported this term..." Story for another day.

Think about your kid before you choose a school. Don't just do it for show. Ati my son/daughter is at... Is the kid happy there?

St.Mary's is one of the greatest schools around, it hasn't been the same after the holy ghost fathers left but they are trying to work their way up. But its no way less prestigious then Strathmore.

In my year out of a class of 70,around 20 of us went to ivy league schools and many went to other high ranking colleges. Most Saints are at the top of their fields.

@Muganda, ni Angela Kwach kweli?

If Strath discriminated merely on the basis of being from a single parenthood, that is just wrong!!! they should only take students on merit, period! Even interviewing parents!!!

@All what is the big fuss. There are so many schools out there.
@Maich black I has mant friends from Kahawa Sukari at Strath, I don't think Strathmore School gentlemen are pretentious, probably that kid was just abysmally boring or had a fairly finite ken. There are always two sides to a story.

the sage,
I wonder why you are on the defensive, Strathmore's descrimanatory tendencies are known to all and sundry!!!!

I guesse he said Angela Kwach coz they present with him on Easy FM!!!

was wondering whether she changed her name to kwach
