IRONY



Parents are struggling and sacrificing themselves to ensure that their children are admitted to the University of Hope. But to those who are admitted at Moi University, the goods things they used to hear about the University turns to be a nightmare especially those who are given a chance to pursue a degree in Education. Students are so many in that no lecture room can be able to accommodate all the students and because there is no alternative, the students are expected to adopt the principle of survival for the fittest. This therefore makes the students to have sleepless nights because a students should avail him/herself in the lecturer room one hour before the lecture commences in order to secure the front seat. Those who come in late are expected to attend the lecture by peeping through the window. Hence, students are discouraged from attending lectures instead they prefer to have their studies in hostels.
In addition, most students from the school of education receive their first transcript while in forth year which discourages them to work hard and creates a big burden to those who fail some of the courses and who need to sit for a supplementary exam. The picture below shows the students of education crying during graduation because of the hard moments they have been going through to acquire their degree. This is an irony because they expect to rejoice the success of their studies.

  1. Universities have become a money minting institutions not a place of academic building. As long as their fimancial records roll in six to seven digits figures the board cares less of what happens next
    To eliminate this rotten norm within universities we have to try outsourcing personell to run institutions.
    Emergence of half baked graduates is a result of mismanagement within institutioms

  3. Most of kenyan universities have focus on making profits not eduction. Graduates are just papers with little knowledge on the area of specialization. It means when one is done with campus no job because the employer is worried of embarrassment.
