HOW MAKINI BECAME TOP KCPE SCHOOL
During national exams, the Makini Ngong Road academy is always ranked top and usually indicates it registered less than 30 students for the examination. The school, which has eight streams in Class Eight, registers the rest of the candidates under Makini School.
According to the Education ministry website, Makini Ngong Road Academy registered only 22 candidates for the 2011 KCPE. The 22 scored between 439 and 382 marks, while the Makini School registered 256 candidates who scored between 223 marks and 418 marks. During ranking of schools-primary and secondary-only schools with at least 20 candidates are ranked. LINKBasically, if your kid is in one of these schools and is an average student, he/she will be registered to take exams in the 'others' category in the same school while the clever ones/genius are registered in the "BLUE CLASS" which will make No. 1 in the county and probably country. The 'others' where your child is registered will rank below 100 and sometime 200.
This is a scam, unfair competition and a marketing gimmic that gives this schools an unfair advantage over others as most parents will enroll their children there paying hefty fees believing their kids are getting above top quality education - just to end up with Ds and Es.
How did the Govt allow this???
BBI will solve it :)
