Kenya's 8-4-4 education system is rated amongst the best schools system in the world. Most Kenyans and other people from the neighboring countries come to study in Kenya just to have a feel of that competitive education system.
Well, high school is the most loved institution of learning in Kenya as this is where teenagers from primary school discover themselves and set their goals before they enroll at the university level. There are those who pass their KCPE with flying colours and are admitted to national schools while there are those who don't get lucky and end up at a district or county school but all in all, that doesn't matter. What's important is what you do in that particular institution at the end of four years.
We have so many bright Kenyan celebrities who scored A's and made it to national schools and we are proud of them.
