Editor's Review

He says he cannot even break the news of his son's performance because the marks are a far cry from his expectation.


It was a sad day for parents and teachers of Moi DEB Primary school in Kanduyi Bungoma county after they received results they never expected. 

Education CS Ezekiel Machogu released the results on Wednesday.

The Headteacher of the school addressed the press on Wednesday lamenting that the results do not reflect the school since time immemorial.

The top school student scored 365 marks in the KCPE exams with his son scoring 334.

He says he cannot even break the news of his son's performance because the marks are a far cry from his expectation.

"Kwa historia ya hii shule; iwe mwaka tulifunza ama hatukufunza,hakuna siku tumekua na results kama hizi. Mimi nimepigia sub county education director na ako hapa na nikaamua nyinyi wazazi mkuje kuliko kila mzazi anapiga simu," the headteacher said.

"Si watoto wa mbele peke yao ndo marks iko chini, ata pia mimi nimekua mzazi. Mtoto wangu amepata 334, mtoto mwenye alijua amechagua shule kama Maranda. Ata sijamtumia results kwa sababu unatumaje."

The emotional teacher could not even contain his tears as he broke down into tears and sought help to establish what could have happened.

His tears forced his parents and his teacher to try and comfort him but he seemed overwhelmed.

"Hapana wazazi haiwezekani. Mmekua wazazi  mkiona watoto mkiwasaidia wakisoma. You have seen us working, inakuaje inafika level huwezi ata kukocompare na shule ingine. Haiwezekani tuu kwa njia zotee ndo  sababu tumeita sub county director. And we want to make an appeal, hizi sio results za hii shule," the headteach said.
