What is the difference in developing nations between free education and private education? Hmmm. And then some.
I took the young royals to enroll in school today. The Adopt a Legacy kids had to be screened to see what grade level they would be put in at the private school.
Legacy School scores the best in our entire region. They are a tough school - for this area. Yet urban areas like Nairobi and Nakuru still score the highest.
To enter 9th grade at all, students need to score a certain # on a nationwide standardized exam. Everyone takes the same exam. Few, very few, from the free public schools get to go to the 9th grade at all.
Know why?
Quick example:
Each school in Kenya “places” the students at the end of the term. If there are 70 students and you finished ahead of 60 of them, then you would be “position #10.” Got it?
That’s important information to understand for this next part.
