New!

New
Era, New Promises, New Systems, New Voices, New Ideas. Does Wanjiku need these?
Wanjiku, here we come, with a brand new Education System. And, just asking
curiously; What is the role of a Senior Education Officer(SEO) in
education๐?
I see a situation where the SEO ๐is not conversant with the
actual content in the education system. Is the SEO aware of what the child is
learning at school? Is the SEO in touch with Wanjiku, in terms of her opinion
on the education system at hand? Do you know that SEO spends most of the time in service receiving, dispatching, and signing
circulars and many other documents๐?
๐ซThe circulars and other documents are not on
how best can be done to improve the education standards as per the needs of
Wanjiku.No.The SEO uses the circulars and documents to monitor teachers’
attendance and population, the school infrastructure, the
pupils’ attendance, and population, watchmen employed, books, other learning, and teaching materials purchased, the school means scores, and how
many BOG meetings have been held. All these are silent on how the benefits of
the system to Wanjiku. The SEO terms of service, seemingly, have nothing to do
with Wanjiku๐.
๐Radical changes must be done to bring these officers
aboard. . Whether the SEO is the county boss, sub-county boss, or whichever
level the SEO is, they should in the forefront to monitor and advise the
government on the education system. Each SEO should have the education needs
for Wanjiku at their fingertips daily ๐. The officers should monitor the
relevance of the education system at hand.
The System, As A Political Tool
Politics; Politics; Politics, in all fields. Must
we wait for politicians to change and in some cases, mess up with the education
system? Apart from the SEO on the ground, teachers are in direct contact with
Wanjiku. The teachers are in touch with the feelings and opinions of Wanjiku.✌They
can advise the ministry of education on the merits and demerits of the
education system through their immediate SEO. This will put off politicians not
again use education as a political campaign tool. Let them use roads, water,
electricity, and title deeds, and not the education system. The management of
the system is the prerogative single duty of education experts๐.
Kenya is rich and blessed with many education
scholars and education engineers ๐. Our universities have many educationists. The
parliament should come up with legislation where our universities have permanent
task forces on the education system in Kenya. This will enable the body to
interrogate the SEO in the field on the wellness of the education system at
hand. It will also detach our education system from politics. Furthermore, the university
research institutions shall be seen doing their work accordingly. Do you think
the government will save money spent on the appointment of politically born
task forces☺?
Our Local Languages, Worthiness
Though the Kenyan education system should be
in line with global goals, it should focus chiefly on our needs and goals. ๐Each
SEO should be facilitated by the government, in educational tours to learn how
education systems are tailored toward the needs of the local consumer.
๐Some countries mainly learn in their local
languages. Japan and China, the Asian superpowers, do they learn in either
French or English? These are among the G7 and leading economies. Is it possible
to promote our local languages in our homegrown education systems? Kiswahili,
Gikuyu, Luhya, Dholuo, Kalenjin, and Kisii are some of the most popularly
spoken languages in Kenya. Will their promotion delink us from the
International borders? Is it that we can only produce experts in various fields
eg, engineers, doctors, pilots, etc by learning English, and French ๐ ?
