    "content": "If you want to bring down a society, one of the softest ways of doing it is through education. As we look at this Sessional Paper today, we need to recognise many things. For example, if the 8-4-4 System of Education had a problem - the students who pursued it will be 40 years old by 2023 or 2024 - what have we done in the 40 years to this nation? This is the hardest question that we need to answer. Since the inception of 8-4-4 System of Education to the time it will end in 2023, it will be 40 years. If you use that as the main indicator, there is a big problem. We have wasted the society for 40 good years. So, there is need to have constant revision because the society is changing. Definitely, there are things that will be changing. The dynamics that are there in the society need to be looked through the prism of education. That is one critical thing that I wanted to bring out. If you are churning out a million only each year and we will be doing 40 years in 2024, we shall have wasted 40 million Kenyans, which is a big loss."
