So rigging has now gotten into the education sector.

Schools with double registration pamper their thoroughbred high-performers and regard the rest as fees generators. Makini A is for Marketing and recruitment purposes, while Makini B is no different from a public school and serves as an income-generator to scalp parents attracted by the results of a mere 20 candidates.

This thing happens all over...I know of a public headteacher in a village school who has been summoned by the Nyeri Education heads because of this type of things. A local private school usually gives her its average students to register in her school. That way, the private school is left with the bright ones and it shines. The public one also shines coz the average private students performs 'well' in the public schools' standards thus raising the public school's profile. "Win-Win" for the two school heads

I think parents who take their children to these kind of schools know what happens and have accepted the 'tyranny of performance' by choosing to chase academic performance associated with the school name at whatever cost (including cost of deluding oneself).

Not seeing the illegality in having two schools...what would be unfair is to transfer a student forcefully from one to the other.

But beyond the furore...do this kids from these 'scamming' schools perform well in the secondary schools?

Have heard some of them have been so spoon-fed that once in national schools they get lots of challenges keeping up with the rest of the class...not all the students but some.

If so many schools are engaging in this practise then it must be the most effective way of marketing a school but makini which has 1200 students from pre school to college should be in the league of brookhouse and st andrews turi they have over 500 students each and do not use underhand tactics to market their schools.
