• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even in the animal kingdom, we also have ranking. Before that, my friend hon. David Ochieng had approached me and he knows why he rose. In due process, we will know why. Most of our schools go out for benchmarking. Traditionally, when it comes to benchmarking, you only benchmark with the best. How will you know the best? You will know the best after ranking has been done. For instance, in my constituency, I have in mind a school called St. Anthony which has struggled so much. However, with teamwork from the teachers and ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I am sorry. You know I respect hon. Serut. He is my neighbour. He knows how we relate to each other. So, please, I will answer that one when we are at the tea place. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, schools do benchmarking. Alliance High School has topped. We have seen many other schools from the rural villages which have not done well visiting the schools which have done well. You can only know that a school has done better than yours through benchmarking. Hon. Washiali is looking at me and I know his schools in Mumias have been doing very well. I want to congratulate him. We have had issues where my schools had planned a tour to Mumias and learn how schools in Mumias have been performing and what practices they have been putting ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: In yesterday’s newspapers, KNUT came out and said that if the ranking system is not reverted back, then they are going to develop their own way of doing the ranking. So, we do not want to have this confusion. It is important that the Government puts in place a ranking system that is reliable and valid. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when I was in my constituency, I overheard some principals saying: “Now that the ranking system is not there, we do not need to work hard because we will just be like any other person.” For as long as ranking is not there, this will compromise the standard in teaching and hard work. We want to reward people who are doing well, but how do you do it? You only reward them if you recognise them.There is no way you can recognise them if the ranking system is not there. Looking at the history of this ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Let me continue. Sorry, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Even when you go to universities, after the exams, there are categories of ranking. That is First Class Honours and Second Class Honours, Upper and Lower Divisions. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he is talking about criteria. I did not go to the criteria. He said they are ranked based on different criteria. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: He is misleading the House, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the truth is that I am not misleading the House. view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have seen schools like Harvard Business School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) being ranked as the top universities in the world. This has been in the public domain. Maybe, the Member is not aware that those issues have been happening. It is only that there are different criteria. view
