I would like to highlight a few things that in my opinion are the educational challenges in our county. I of course stand to be corrected in any case someone has a different opinion or is not convinced by what I will give here. I also believe that I may not mention all the challenges but also trusting that these that I will point out are some of those that require urgent attention if the situation is to change any soon. In my last post, I shared my first steps of this big dream; visiting schools and speaking to students. I was not only speaking to the students but also trying to study a few things and of course making observations that helped me to come up with what I will share in this post as the challenges facing education in this noble society. I have so far been able to visit around twenty secondary schools in Kilifi and Ganze sub-counties. Recently, I visited thirty five primary schools in Vitengeni zone of Ganze sub-county with Sheila Mutuku.  I hereby would like to use thes

Talking to pupils of different primary schools in Vitengeni zone with Sheila Mutuku. Most pupils have no good reason to be in school. They have no dreams and have not known the importance of going to school. They haven't known the importance of education in this society which NEEDS EDUCATION MOST. In these talks, I together with Sheila Mutuku explain to them how important education is in positively changing our lives in Kilifi. As I speak to them, I realize how much they lacked such talks. In their eyes, you see how they are getting challenged and how most of them want to take the challenge and work harder in their academics. They seem not to have had someone from their locality, one of their own, who they can emulate. Who can to them become a mentor. This helps me to realize how much these kids needed such talks. Therefore, I take the opportunity to stir in them the thirsty and hunger to acquire EDUCATION and CHANGE their lives, their families and the society

My name is Andrew Sikudhani Kadzoyo. I was born and brought up in the coastal region of Kenya, Kilifi County, Ganze sub-county, Vitengeni division, Dida location, Dida sub-location, Kizingo village. I went to Dida primary school and then proceeded to Sokoke secondary school. I am currently at The University of Nairobi pursuing a degree in commerce. My community is poor and I have always linked this to the illiteracy and poor education standards. This gave me a dream to do all I can to see my community is positively changed in all spheres of life. I started dreaming of a developed community, a rich community, a powerful community. I knew and I still know, I believed and still believe that EDUCATION alone can realise my dream. I subscribe to Mandela's great saying,"  education is the most powerful weapon that we can use to change the world. " YES. EDUCATION is the only thing that will change my community. EDUCATION is what will enrich my community. EDUCATION is what will e
