    "content": "Many a times when the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results are released, so many join Form One. About a third proceeds to Form One but for the two thirds, one will always ask where exactly they go. Similarly, when they get to Form Four again, about a third joins the universities. You ask yourself: “Where are the other two thirds?” So, the answer here lies on the fact that we have not rightly promoted TVET because parents and students do not quite understand it. It is because we have given it negative publicity. Whenever a student does not qualify to join a university or a secondary school, he or she can be told to join a village polytechnic. The student can feel like this is a place for rejects or for those who cannot proceed. This is very different. TVET allows all to join an institution. It is possible for one to join a technical institution and then proceed to university and even become a professor. It is possible for one to join the youth polytechnic or vocational education and training centres, pursue an artisan’s certificate, then a diploma or a degree even up to the PhD level."
