    "content": "As we have been on recess, I have been to several schools and several education zones presiding over education days and prize giving days. You find many prizes lined for the best student and teacher in a subject. Automatically, this ranking is there with us and we cannot run away from it. When we go to these schools, as leaders, to encourage and motivate the students and the teachers, we promise to do so much for a school that will give us so much. We have been doing it and we are still doing it. You say that a student who will get these many marks will get this. The Equity Bank’s Wings to Fly initiative says that if a student gets 350 marks, they will be a candidate for sponsorship. They have to put a mark somewhere. In as much as we say we do not want ranking of schools, it is with us. We would like to know what other schools are doing. This encourages competition. Why are private schools doing better than public schools? On inquiring, you will find out that most public schools do not have enough teachers. The teachers are also not happy or comfortable with what they are doing. Therefore, the Ministry should find out what it can do for those schools to be at par with the others."
