How to manage a large classroom.


Large class gives challenges to teachers especially in most of public schools in Africa have free primary education. However this doesn't mean that you can’t achieve your class objectives. The pupils in this class will learn comfortably as we assume for the small number of a class. Moreover, this large class will give you an opportunity to improve your teaching make it enjoyable and rewarding for your learners. What counts most is your quality of teaching.

Reasons why students fail.


Every student should be in school to excel. Parents are sometimes taken by surprise when their children fail to perform well or even perform very poorly in the academics. It is best to understand why this can sometimes happen.

Education for women empowerment.


Education enlightens a person. It makes life meaningful. It is equally necessary for man as well as woman. One who does not have proper education leads a miserable life. Women have an important role in the life of a society and as such they should be educated. It was only in the past few centuries that women were denied the benefits in education. Because of this their role in society got confined to their homes. Girls were not allowed to study along with boys. Rich people got their girls educated at homes.

Unemployment is real in Kenya.


Unemployment situations in Kenya are and have been an issue to worry about. Every year, many students transit from different colleges and universities in search for jobs. The influx is so great that even the employer is confused on what to expect from the employees or even on who is best to fit some particular vacancies.
The system of education in Kenya has also been criticized on what some say is not a relevant system. Most of the skills that are acquired in schools are not consistent with the needs of the people and this further hardens the search for employment for many youths.
