"content": "In fact, when the parallel degree programme started those who were able to be bold enough to take their children to parallel system are the middle class Kenyans. They are the Kenyans who were able to call a friend and ask for a Harambee . The ones who cannot dare ask even a Member of Parliament for Kshs150,000 to take a child to go to the School of Law is the poor Kenyan. The poor Kenyan is stranded with the child. They do not know who to talk to and they know they are still struggling with high school education. So, they are left with a choice between asking for a Harambee for the high school child and asking for a Harambee for the parallel degree education. Parents are always left with the burden of paying for the secondary schools education, so that we have a whole backlog in the low class in this country. Those who are not able to raise anything have their children at home with their grade âBâ and âC Plusâ. I am bringing this out so that we have clear picture. Unless we address the issue of the higher education in this country, we will be endangering the crop that will come out. All our doctors and engineers will be from the rich families. The gap between the poor and rich will be catalysed by education in this country."
