<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #330099; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">We are not
taught the fundamentals. I have been trying to avoid pointing out a basic
grammatical error many are making on this list, but I'll do so anyway. In
English and most other Latin based languages proper nouns are capitalized.
Many on this list have their names in outgoing emails without capitalizing.
Why am I pointing this out? We all went through one education system.
For you to gained admission into a public university, you needed to
have achieved at least a mean grade of B. If we are making the same
mistakes the journalists are making, how can we take the high road? If we
purposefully chose to ignore the rules of grammar as we were done with our
'high school' education, then it means that there is a fundamental problem
with our education system (we never had to apply our knowledge of English, so
we are really studying for the sake of the grade and not the
knowledge). </SPAN><U></U><U></U></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U><U></U> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #330099">It's the same with Swahili,
Physics (e.g. we all know that Kenyan drivers are constantly speeding, even
with vehicles that were not built for speed. In high school, we are taught
that </SPAN><B><U><SPAN style="COLOR: red">breaking
distance</SPAN></U></B><SPAN style="COLOR: #330099"> is proportional to the
*square* of the speed, which means that it increases out
of proportion to the increase in speed), but we disregard this. We
all sang the national anthem at least twice per week, for all twelve years of
our primary and tertiary education, yet we stutter if we are asked to recite
it. </SPAN><U></U><U></U></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><U></U><U></U> </P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #330099">The crisis of our education
system is that people don't value the skill as much as they value recognition
for the skill. It does not matter whether or not you can actually code, what
matters is that you have a certificate that says you can. It's apparent
in the technology space today. People have to earn their stripes, papers no
longer really matter. The 'Mwakenya' is the standard in University exam rooms.
And the situation is only getting worse. We need to find ways of integrating
what people learn with day to day life. If we don't, we will keep having this
tragedy of people getting knowledge for the sake of the certificate and not
bothering to find out why they are learning
that. </SPAN><U></U><U></U></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #330099">A further illustration, I once
spoke to a university student who mentioned that he was doing Oracle
Certification 'because he heard that it has money'. My problem with his
thinking was that he had no clue what products Oracle was dealing in, he was
going to do any certification available, which means, he might have ended
up certifying in a field he did not like (Oracle has Enterprise
Hardware/Software/Cloud Services) and land on a job he does not want, but one
that pays well. </SPAN><U></U><U></U></P></DIV>
