So, it is very unfair that the schools are just ranked on the basis of the highest and the lowest. Secondly, we also realise that students are gifted in different ways. Some people are so academic and others are gifted in other areas. I have a student who did not do well in Standard Eight in Kisumu County, but that child can do music to the highest level. He can play all the musical instruments that are used in music. That child does not go to any music school. So, if we only want to rate our students based on academics, then that is not acceptable. That is why I cannot support this Motion that we go backwards. We have charted a way. The worst that we can do is to let these students be rated at the county levels because most of our counties are almost at the same level. For example, I do not think the best school in Kisumu Town is so different from the ones we have in the rural areas. So, if we want to do it let us do it per county then that will make a lot of difference. Certainly, it should not be done at the national level.
