Accepted. In any case we long lost the plot in kenya boxing.

jl115:
we don't have to beat Kenya or Egypt in amateur anything .... We have held actual World titles

SA is the king of boxing in Africa... Accept the obvious and move on

You still have to beat Kenya and Egypt in amateur boxing in Africa leagues.

jl115:
100% professional boxing is better than amature boxing... That's not eben a debate....South Africa is undisputed king of boxing in Africa... We have held more world titles than the entire continent combined

When you were winning an amature tournament we weren't even involved with we had guys like Gerrie Coetzee and Brain Mitchell

I rather vaxx answer. Boarding schools are all over the world as exception to the rule. They are for special purposes. Probably 1 in 1,000 schools.

Just40:
Boarding schools are everywhere in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
Germany has a lot of them... Sleep

All the sex slaves I know in Europe and Middle east are from West Africa. Mostly Nigerians. If you mean tourist coming to kenya for sex, sun and sand. That is not sex slavery. That is tourism. That is vacation. There is no slavery.

Sex slavery is where Vaxx ship your sister to German to study but she ends up being pimped out in Berlin - mostly against her will. You'll see Vax milling around the red light district selling drugs and watching your sister

Just40:
Sorry, Goethe-institut is already helping her out.

You can better help Kenyan women get out of sex slavery

Again a reflection of your poor education. How does an action of a single proffesor reflect on the country?

vaxx:
But we still read here one of your professor ( un of nairobi) plagiarized a Nigerian phd thesis

Germany where you are - dont know any boarding school - and yet produce the best.
We have in Kenya worked on all the efficiency you can think about in boarding schools.
Nearly all kenya boarding schools are Single Gender because of performance and such.
They began as mostly mixed - then during our time - almost all were converted to Single Boarding.
I think you can count with one hand mixed boarding in kenya.
99% are single gender.
They dont work.
They are expensive , disruptive, unnatural and we dont need it.
We have worked on all the hardwork, crazy hours, putting kids through military style boarding, and results isnt pleasing.
Kids should stay at home with their parents.
We should provide same standards of schooling at the village as with Nairobi.
Same quality teachers. Same quality labs.

vaxx:
I went to boys only school and I am very proud of it . We are cheeky rascals . Single gender schools produce the best result here. For example , presec for boys only and Wesley for girls school has chalked many successes and boasts of a stellar generation of young professionals and global leaders than many mixed schools operated in Ghana .

we are keeping free boarding school, it has come to stays , it is non negotiable , you can immideatly see the benefit among the growing adolescent compare to grown adult who didn't enjoy it. We are building a knowledge based economy . raising out productivity and creativity, as well as stimulate entrepreneurship and technological breakthroughs. Many recent developments are pointing out into this . If we are entering into debt because of this then it is valuable debt we are not ready to negotiate. We are not building liability trainline network like kenya here. The root of education is bitter but the fruits is sweets says plato. We shall harvest it sooner.

"in Ghana there is no admission fees, no library fees, no science centre fees, no computer laboratory fees, no examination fees, no utility fees. Available of free textbooks, free boarding and free meals[/b]. We are capable .” our minister are driving expensive v8 , common Ghanaian also deserved the best .

I can teach her Germany - I am just a train away to Southern Germany. Send me her details. I hope she is not too short. I met one in Geneva who was studying in Basel - black beauty but way too short. She must have been 4ft.

I guess the bloody Europeans - came and shipped out all the Tall And STRONG GHANIANS to become farm slaves - and left rejects in GHANA.

Just40:
As usual.... No wonder sex trade thrive so well in Kenya

Sorry, my sister is busy thinking about her master's.
The other one just finished medical school..

Look for an ugly Kenyan woman near you.

American and British kids are paying for their Phd to be done by kids in Nairobi in their spare time. Kenya historically high quality of education has been studied since the 1990s.

One of Moi positive legacy was the focus on education. Kenyans know the country is barren desert and only hope is good education.

If a student in London or New York goes online to pay somebody to do their essay, the chances are the work will actually end up being done by somebody in Kenya. BBC Trending reports from Nairobi on the ghost writers helping foreigners to cheat.

I am in bed - send your sister already. Dumb ar.se.

Just40:
just go to bed instead of coming on here to spew your frustrations

Again another dumb statement that betrays lack of critical thinking skills. Education system is taken as whole. There are random people from everywhere who can be the best in something. The indicator of good education is for example quick check on the random English grammar of Ghanians here. You and Vaxx write like English is totally foreign. I dont see such atrocious grammar & sentence construction even amongst Nigerian. I should check your forums for the laughs. Maybe you can give the Tanzanians some competition at the bottom.

Just40:
That is just fact
You won't find a Kenya being the best in a field and competing globally, anywhere in the world including in Kenya.

And why are you in this thread if HDI is the measure - your lost before we began.

End of discussion. I wonder why just40 is still arguing with you.

Do you know right now kenya kids are doing Phds for university kids abroad

How Kenya Now Leads The World In Enabling Contract Cheating
Filed under CONTRACT CHEATING{6 COMMENTS}
My research into contract cheating, dating right back to when I first publicised the threat this poses to academic standards in 2006, has identified worldwide hot spots of individuals enabling contract cheating. These hot spots are international locations with essay mill companies and individual writers keen to make money by helping other people to cheat. They also represent locations where the income from enabling contract cheating is very good by local standards.

I mentioned the countries where contract cheating enabling is prevalent, such as Kenya, India and Pakistan, in this 2016 article for The Guardian. Indeed, I witnessed the growth of the essay writing industry in Kenya between 2006 and 2016, as evidenced, for instance in these 2016 slides, where I showed that the people bidding to complete low level academic work on Freelancer.com were coming mainly from India, Kenya, Pakistan and Morocco.

Contract Cheating Writers Based In Kenya
My recent paper looking at the ghost writers working internationally in the contract cheating industry found that the majority of writers for contract cheating companies were based in Kenya. The real percentage may be higher than I found, as some workers seemed to be disguising their location, perhaps pretending they were in a country their essay buyers would consider more desirable, such as the United States.

The Chronicle of Higher Education also explored contract cheating in Kenya, demonstrating what big business this type of work had become in a country where poverty is common.

In every apartment building in Nairobi, you could find two, three writers.

The Chronicle source too found writers told not to reveal that they were from Kenya and to instead pretend they were British or American. The fact that many essay mills really use writers from Kenya is a (not so well hidden) secret in the essay industry.

A kenyan would not make such a random baseless statement. It reflect poorly on you.

Just40:
The quality of Kenyan education is only comparable to Liberia education

Kenya has highest quality of education in Africa bar Mauritus. And it shows.
You remember the Zain/Airtel Challenge.
Kenyans won until they stopped it.
I think Ibandan fluked once.
All the rest of years kenya took all position from quarters.

Just40:
go to bed .. you have nothing else to say

Yet the Ghanaians here speak better English and have better understanding than all the Kenyans here.

As we've all been saying, the educational system in Kenya failed you guys.

Yet Kenyan students are least competitive when we all meet at universities outside. Your school leaving certs ain't even recognized outside.

Waking up at 3am is the reason why Kenyan Brian's are poorly developed. You guys are sleep deprived
8 hours of sleep is good for everyone.

You'll only see high school students depriving themselves of sleep in Ghana when they are about to write the school leaving exams.

No wonder you guys fail your KCSE massively..it should show in your outcomes

In Ghana, you don't have to leave that early because your school is not 5-10km away like in Kenya.
You just have to walk for 2 minutes and you're already in class.
That's the benefit of boarding school

What you describe as schedule of boarding school would not even pass for lower primary boarding in kenya.

No wonder even basic English grammar is challenge to almost all Ghanians here.

My friend - kenyans study - and study the hardest in Africa. Only Chinese and Indians maybe study more.

What you describe I repeat is the most laziest school program I know of.

Kenya kids wake up earliest 3am - latest 5am - in my school we woke up 4:45am - you have 15 minutes to shower and show up in dinning hall - by 5:15 am we are in class - sometimes lesson start as early as 6am; We have tea break of 30mins at 10; then 1hr lunch break; classes until 5pm; then 1hour sports break; 30mins for super; 7 am sharp - back to class - until 10. You walk to dormitory and prepare to sleep - by 11pm.

Day schools kids do the same - they are out by 5am - including primary.

Nobody in Africa studies like kenya kids. Right from lower primary kids study hard - I have been to many african countries - at least southern and eastern africa - there is almost nothing like that.

In kenya you will find 6yr old kid walking to school before dawn.
See here - it's 3am - and kids are up. Most secondary schools with candidate for exams - generally kids sleep for 5hrs - or even less.

We spend on 2 billion Cedis on High school education.. that's is peanuts money..

Actually it is not even on the top 100 reason why we currently have a financial challenge.

Funny enough the least thing we were all thinking about in high school was how we were going to get the best grades in a highly competitive educational system that we had and not sex.

I guess you were busy thinking about sex and that is why you ended up poorly educated.

Kenya usually poorly implement stuff and that is why your kids are busily sex active in high school and even on campus.

In Ghana, by 6.30am, everyone has left the boarding house.
From 6.30 to 7am is quiet time before classes begins at 7.30am
9.00am you go for breakfast in the dinning hall
12.00pm you go for lunch
School closed at 3pm

By 3.30pm is quiet time at the dormitory because people are expected to be taking a nap and if you don't want to, you can go and play football or some other sport away from the dormitory.

By 5.30pm everyone is expected to have finished bathing and left the dormitory.
6.00pm is supper time at the dinning hall.

By 7pm which is siesta time, everyone is supposed to be in the classroom learning on their own.
9.00pm siesta is over by 9.30pm everyone should be in their various dorms and certain houses in the dorms choose random times to run roll calls, if you're not in your dorm by roll call and have no real reason why you missed roll call, suspension.

Not neccesarily. Kenya golden boxing era was in 1980s-1990s but we dont have the wealth to graduate it to professional boxing. Kenya won commonwealth boxing four times. And use to dominate in Africa like nothing.

In 1987 Kenya Hit Squad won all the boxing golds

Kenya’s gold medalists on that occasion were:

Light Welterweight David “DK” Kamau Towedros Michiku of Ethiopia
Bantamweight Stephen Mwema, who beat Ndaba Dube of Zimbabwe
Featherweight Patrick “Mont” Waweru who beat Charles Lubulwa of Uganda
Lightweight John Wanjau, who beat Haritora Rapotamanga of Madagscar
Light Flyweight Maurice Maina, who beat Emmanuel Nsubuga of Uganda
Mohammed “Body” Orungi, who beat Martin Nougle of Nigeria
Welterweight Robert Wangila, who beat Sahelu Mekuria of Ethiopia
Superheavyweight Chris Odera who beat Tschibalala Kadima of Zaire.

jl115:
you talking about a tournament we didn't compete in for 30 years... And secondly professional>amateur

I don't dispute it. Why would I? They are supposed to be far ahead with their gold, aluminum, arable land, river volta and name it. They should be up there with Botswana, South Africa and Namibia. But Ghana and Kenya have the same level - HDI wise - kenya is slightly behind but the same league.

South Africa and Namibia are in different league. Mauritus has become africa first developed country.

Nigeria with all that oil and gas - should not be at the bottom.

obaaderemi:
One at a time, Little Indian. Do you accept that Ghanaians are doing better than you with the Hdi thing or do you like your Tanzanian brother, Kaz believe in the naked eye test?

Professional boxing of course South Africa is ahead. Amateur boxing behind.

jl115:
South Africa has held more boxing world titles than all of Africa combined.....there is only one king of boxing and it isn't Kenya

You keep it if it works.
But definitely very expensive for your gov - and is one reason that has been cited why you are in economic mess now.
Funding free boarding schools is expensive.
These are teens - 14-18 - and body biology doesnt respect academic calender. Most girls are super fertile at 15yrs. Boys at 17-19yrs are at their best sex life - testorone production at it highest. You keep them in boarding - they will be raging.
I am glad in Kenya we are moving away from the horrible British boarding legacy.

Just40:
Now it's Ghanaian and it is an important part of our education. We will keep it because it does more good for us.

65% of high schools here are mixed sex schools

Theres no way someone in Accra who has had all his schooling in Accra, choose a High school in Accra again... Theyll mostly choose high schools in Cape Coast or somewhere in the Eastern Region or the Ashanti Region.

Kumasi people usually prefer Accra, Eastern, Cape Coast or Western Region high schools and the same goes for kids in Northern Ghana.

Everyone parents sleep knowing that their kids are in better hands here.


Why are kids in Kenya single sex schools thinking about what gender they are, when they should be focusing on learning?
Meanwhile in Ghana, single sex schools turn to produce the best results.

Some of the greatest challenge with kids here has to do with whether they want a single sex school or a mixed sex schools.
The other has to do with which region they want to attend school in.

This boarding obsession is a British policy you inherited.
Elsewhere in the world boarding schools are unheard of.
Kids should stay with their parents until they are mature.
Once they are 18yrs - they can go to universities and colleges - stay in hostels or not - and achieve those things.
Kenya began from there - but we long realized it horrible decision - with kids burning schools, becoming gay (most of them are same sex boarding school), name them, they pick all the wrong things; get stressed, bullied, beaten; while they should be with their parents; and it expensive to house and feed them.
Kenya is moving away from this - and now 70% of all secondary schools are day school.
Gov is encouraging day school by ensuring those who choose to go to day are 100% funded.
Those that go to boarding school - have to pay for their boarding - gov will only pay their tuition.

According to the report, boarding facilities will be reserved for a few institutions that will
admit learners across the country to pursue various pathways in senior secondary schools as
envisioned under the new system. Using this model, learners will spend two years in pre-primary
education, six in primary, three in junior secondary, three in senior secondary school and another
three in university (tertiary institution), dubbed 2-6-3-3-3 education system. All children leaving
Grade Six, at the end of primary education, will be required to enroll in a nearby secondary school
for the three-year junior secondary education (Grades 7, 8 and 9), which will be domiciled at the
high school level. Students will be required to enroll in secondary schools within a radius of about
five kilometers from their place of residence. The recommendation was based on the understanding
that most primary schools have a nearby secondary school, making it easier to transition children
to available spaces in adjacent facilities.

Boarding school is an essential part of Ghana education system..
The reason why Ghana is highly united comes from boarding school.. that's where Ghanaian sporting champions a born and that is what is sustaining Ghana's strong educational system.
In 3 years, the people you live with become your family.

In the face of lower govt funding, Alumni support is strong because people remain attached to Thier high schools for life.

How they are doing that is in the new curriculum they've already introduced.. introducing various new STEM related courses.

About 80% of secondary schools here already have science resource centers.. They are adding various new labs to the existing schools to make it possible.. All is already in the video.


How do kids in Turkana attend high school when the computer school selection system place them in a school in Nairobi?

In Ghana, by the time kids reach high school level, they are already seeking freedom from their parents and boarding schools provide that for them. If you Interview any high school kid here 97% of them will tell you they prefer boarding school.
By the time they come out of boarding school, they are already mature students.

More EVs in kenya. Metro buses add 10 more electric buses as Kengen buys 4 and to install 30 charging stations.

The policy is how to make that happen. The goal is there...but what is policy to ensure 60% of student study STEMS?
Boarding schools is waste of gov money and a horrible British policy that need to go.
Why would you waste money building all the boarding facilities when every kid has home and a bed?
95% of schools should be day school.
Boarding schools should only be built for special cases...like army or police kids.
British build boarding school because that tiny Island people were likely to be out in the world colonizing it - so parents need a place to keep the kids - as they were going to be in Ghana or India or Kenya - now why would Ghanian or Kenya takes his kids to boarding school while he will likely be home forever?

Improve all day schools to have the same standard of education - by using that boarding money - to build model day schools.

Just40:
if you listened, you would have gotten the policy.
Making 60% of high school students do sTEM related courses and 40% into the various humanities.
High schools already have internet here.

Also, Ghanaian high school don't build one blocks.. it's an entire complexes with boarding houses, dining halls, Assembly halls, sporting facilities and various labs..

How are Nigerians doing. They can speak for themselves. Speak for the Zoo.

Ghanaians are doing better than you by a wide gulf. Use your own advice.

And yet gazillion of gold end up in Dubai, India and China that is unaccounted for. You need to check yourself to mental asylum and if you're already there - reduce internet.

Just40:
Gold is easily detected at any post so you can't sneak it out, Do you even know what an Ounce of gold look like... Anyone interested in smuggling gold will have to package a lot of it to be able to break even, else it won't make sense.
Doing so will get you caught because gold can be detected at the airport... You won't pass physical inspection at the harbour.

If you try using the border post, you won't even get there and NBI intelligence officers will catch you.

Gold is not tomatoes that you can walk to some corner and buy or sell. The buyer needs a license to buy, the seller is a licensed person whose inventory is tracked.
Like I said, good luck trying it if you're that stupid. You will see what EOCO will do to you... I know a few cases at EOCO

Crazy man keep posting foolishly

Dr Adutwum is a brilliant passionate educator. I hope he is putting systems in place. Not building one block of school at a time. From the video - I dont get the policy - that would live post his tenure. He is building few model schools. He isnt focusing on policy - like improving teaching education standards - changing school curriculum - investing in technology/internet - and other policies that can be sustained once he is out of the ministry

Just40:
Ghana stem education have fully taken shape and their programs are quite interesting.. Reshaping Ghanaian high schools to focus on STEM to align outcomes with industry...

You come online to meet such gems - this Ghanian who know his stuff.

No one is being bullied. Africans make the decisions that result in them running to the IMF and WB.

Lets ignore the fact that Africans have a child-like level of fiscal prudency which makes them go running to IMF.

This child-like level of prudency is exhibited on SSC on a daily basis. Its not 'the politicans' but rather 'the people'.

Cameroon and Congo--->Chinese loans--->run to IMF when cant pay for them. Cameroon had projected economic growth of 10% on the back of Chinese loans- when that didnt transpire- they were in a quagmire. Because Africans have a childlike view that infrastructure--->growth.

How is the manufacturing park in Naivasha going btw? Is it overflowing with manufactured exports using the SGR to reach Mombassa for worldwide export?


If you recall some years ago- i expressed my concerns about power projects in SSA. They seemed to overshoot demand. The response I got from SSC Africans was along the lines of 'you have to be ambitious' or 'we can export the excess'.

If everyone is having an exces- who will you export to? Was one obvious question I flagged up.

Of course, a few years later, Kenya scales down its projects due to worries of overshoot while Ghana ends up paying $$$ due to overshoot.

Yet a doctor on the other side of the world could pick up this very obvious scenario happen.

Like I said, you could bring midlevel supermarket managers from Germany or Japan to run African countries and they would do a better job than are business and economic 'experts' because they come with a better cultural mindset.


In Ghana they restored credibility and stability. Ghana was a failed state essentially in early 80s when they went under the IMF. Ghana was the first country to emerge from the post-independence crash that cloaked SSA nations at various stages.

We were growing at 5% and had stable inflation when other countries were still a mess.

Ghana was paying $500 million annually for excess power capacity at one point. This would have never happened under IMF. Every time we come out of IMF 'rule', we do something fiscally reckless and end up back there. I suspect there were lots of under the table payments for these Independent Power Projects. Like how in Angola they focused on infrastructure because that was where the easy kickback money was.

Can you imagine what that money could have done for a country with such a small budget?

popizaino:
Exactly. The person you are arguing with is a madman. Don't waste your precious time on some one who can argue against a naked eye and also data.

That is how crazy he is. Elephant tusky is elephant and is not of that value. Infact Kenya is only country opposed to it - the south africans, bots, zim, tz and others want to sell to Chinese.

Refined gold is gold - and Ghana loses more than what they declare - becuase it easy to conceal - if not drive with it to Burkina faso or wherever.

The only way to stop gold smuggling is at the MINE. Once refined gold is out - the smuggling opportunities are endless.

popizaino:
Your comments will always makes someone question your sanity.


Between Gold and Elephant tusk which is more easier to sneak out or easily detectable? Answer this and see how foolish you are.
