Is it likely the question is not 844 vs GCSE, in modern Kenya, but rather hardship vs exposure? I read according to last OECD PISA report that rates systems of education: the tough as nails, extremely competitive, inductive China ranks 1st. I'd wager their system of education is closer to Kenya's 844. But on the other hand, the reigning champ over the last 5 years or so remains the Finland, no 2 this year. And the kids there just have tons of fun at school, love reading, create homelike classrooms, abhor ranking etc. So! between hardship and exposure, or success from adversity or due to abundant options? Hmmmn My informal surveys so far show everyone chooses the latter. Would love to hear your take... Ref: China Debuts at Top of International Education Rankings China education system, is both a blessing and a curse

What has been the end product of this so called "tiger mothers"? I don't know much boput China but i can tell you in Singapore children are "reading till 10pm" there pace is relentless for what? why? A better look/understanding of the Hypothesis of the Tiger Mother is to read Amy Chua's the battle of the Hymn http://online.wsj.com/article/S...4576059713528698754.html The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.

Best thing is to ship them to a uni in the west, where tertiary education is taken by students as the most serious stage of learning.

Are they not missing something if they only interact "with the families who own/preserve Capital in this country and elsewhere"? Is it fair to assume that success in life only means material success - gained by having made connections during one's school days? It obviously isn't a straightforward matter of crossing out the pros vs the cons. Mukihan na Ric dees Are you kenyans? or more precisely do you live in his country? People have bigger issues than deciding whether its GCSE or 8 4 4. For the bigger population there is no option! Kama mimi I'm trying to decide whether to pay rent or move out at night If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
