Kajiado Central Member of Parliament, Memusi Kanchori, has urged parents to take time with their children to discuss education matters during the August holiday in bid to help them boost their grades.
While speaking at Letoire Girls’ Secondary School on Thursday, August 10, 2023 where he conducted a meeting of all education stakeholders to sensitise them on the poor performance in schools in Kajiado Central constituency, Memusi said that the children’s future and that of the country depend on producing young people who can contribute positively to the growth of the nation.
“I want to urge all the parents to be keen about their children’s performance in school.
As the children come back home for the holidays, the first thing you should ask for is their report card.
Know how they have performed. It is unfortunate that most of our students are scoring E’s, yet parents are not bothered. You should know why your child is performing poorly in class,” the MP said.
At the same time, Memusi urged all the education stakeholders in the constituency to work together to ensure that the students excel as he noted that majority of secondary schools in Kajiado Central have over the years been posting poor results in national exams despite having good infrastructure.
“The performance is lacking in our secondary schools.
In Meto Secondary, only one student has managed to gain entry into university since its inception in 2013.
The best student in General Nkaiserry Secondary got a C-minus.
The future of our children is being wasted and we must unite to change this narrative,” he added.
