    "content": "Why have we lost our status as the best in human resource capital? Over the last few years, there has been an attempt to glorify university education at the expense of tertiary institutions. Today, in the whole world, there are many job opportunities for graduates of our tertiary institutions. Unfortunately, the tertiary institutions we once had have been turned into university colleges. Today, if you go to London, they hold an annual conference on education to review the curriculum and job markets. In our Kenyan system, everyone wants a degree that does not resonate well with the job market, whether in the village, the international community or the global village. We need to look at this and rebrand our education system to serve as an avenue for getting opportunities that are not only available in Kenya but everywhere. Once upon a time, being a member of the diaspora community was considered a renegade member of Kenyan society. Today, the diaspora community has become the most productive sector of Kenyan society, overtaking the tourism sector in foreign exchange earnings. A few years ago, if you were identified as a member of our diaspora community, you were often associated with being a dissenter or someone unhappy with Kenyan society. Today, Kenyans have proudly demonstrated the value of our education system. As the Legislative Arm of the Republic of Kenya, particularly the Members of this august House, we must critically dissect the issues affecting the ailing education sector.
