Politician Alinur Mohamed confronts Highschool teachers for producing many Es in 2023 KCSE
City politician Alinur Mohamed has gone after the teachers of 2023 KCSE candidates who scored grade E.
While taking to social media hours after Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu announced the 2023 KCSE results, Alinur confronted secondary school teachers score the poor grades.
The flamboyant businessman wondered why teachers receive so much money from parents and yet produce such poor performance.
According to him, any student can attain the low performance without the help of teachers.
“48,174 candidates have scored an E in the 2023 KCSE exams. Teachers taking money from parents for 4 good years and returning their kids with grade Es? A grade you can score without stepping in class or reading, just writing your name and submitting the answer booklets. Sad!” Alinur Mohamed published on Facebook
Reacting to the post, Kenyans expressed mixed reactions as some defended teachers as having done their work. A section other argued that studenta who perform poorly in classes stands better chances of succeeding in life.
“Don’t blame the teachers please, a teacher can struggle but the students might not be willing to do what’s directed by them, for example me I wasn’t good at chemistry and my teacher tried his best to an extent of sacrificing time to help but my mind wasn’t in good terms with chemistry,, wacheni kuwalaumu walimu,” commented Vincent Kirui.
Anthony Kithinji said,”Success in education is not only grades,there other aspects of life acquired my friend.”
“I didn’t realize u blamed teachers on poor performance of a child,,,, imagine those who scored A’s were in the same class as those who scored an E.,” Ndege Maxwell responded.
“Those are potential job creators. Congrats to them.” Ruth said
