PRIVATE SCHOOLS TOLD TO WORK WITH OTHERS IN ORDER TO IMPROVE
Owners of private Schools in the Country had been advised to work with other well established Schools and examiners in order to avoid cheating and exploitation of students.
Speaking during the third anniversary of Reformed children center in Kibera Bishop Timothy Mulehi said that some teachers are known of giving students marks which they don't.diverse in order to protect there jobs and yet the students are poor performers
He said that the only way is for such Schools to work with others and sit on the Mock papers which can be marked else where so that the community can know which students are not performing well/
Bishop Mulehi who is also the founder of Mashimoni Squatters Primary School in Kibera slum pointed out that it is wrong for any teachers to give students free mark in order to protect his job
Some teachers are known of giving poorly performing students free marks with the major objective of pleasing there parents but matters becomes shameful during national examination.
Mulehi advise comes with complain from slum and other part of Langata that some teachers are giving poorly performing students mark in order to cheat there parents that they are doing good work.
During the function a parent claimed that his child was unable to re-do the work in which the teacher had given him good the same thing, which means that the teacher did the work only to give the poor child to copy.
Bishop Mulehi added that there is any way of coaching a child who cannot read and write but not writing for his because such kind of exploitation is a criminal o fence
The function was attended by parents students of the Center and friends who later donated funds which will be used to buy structures for the construction of class rooms
Those who also donated and promised more support included Phanicey Charitable and Bishop Mulehi who also promised to donate in one way or another.
The Center caters for children from poor families and HIV orphans among others who cannot aford both meal and School fee/
Both Mulehi and officials of Phanicey Charitable Foundation promised to look for away in which the children can get at list a meal a day
