Top Ten Secondary Schools with the Best Drama Clubs in Kenya

With the Kenya Drama and Film Festival calendar approaching, we may quite-wrongly assume that acting is a waste of time in our rigorous education system. This is a perfect release and an avenue to showcase their talent and become paid actors in a country that has started appreciating art in all its forms.

Most of the school drama clubs that are famous in Kenya for their rigorous approach to stagecraft usually have the most passionate tutors and casting directors. Therefore, their good performances do not come as good luck or favor.

Here, we’re looking at some of the top secondary school drama clubs in Kenya and the different classes of items they’ve presented.

STATE HOUSE GIRLS

The Nairobi’s State House Girls drama club is reasonably-known for Its championship in Choral Verses over the years. The school not only roars in the Nairobi region but in Kenya as a whole. The school’s drama club made another history in 2019 when its coral verse carried the day at Kibabii University.

However, the school stages itself as one of the remarkably high-profile breeding ground for some of Kenya’s most successful stage and screen actresses. Edith Kimani is a product of this school.

ST MARY’S YALA

Located in Siaya County, the Legendary St. Mary’s Yala Drama Club is the epicenter of the spoken word gurus. The club won the spoken word competition at the national level in 2019. It is known for its efforts to make a success of most of the items it presents on stage.

NANYUKI BOYS HIGH SCHOOL

In 2019, a member of the Eregi Girls drama club, Juliet Mukari, left the audience in stitches when she presented her Stand-Up comedy in the Kibabii University Hall. Her piece was based on the human behavior of someone who feels jealous of others whenever they succeed. This saw the club winning the competition.

TSC Boss Nancy Macharia Biography, Career, Education And Controversies

tsc nancy macharia

The no-nonsense approach by Teacher Service Commission (TSC) CEO Nancy Macharia on teachers affairs best exemplifies the quintessential iron lady. She has silenced the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) leadership and continues to steer the commission the best way she knows. She took over from Gabriel Lengoiboni who retired in 2015.

Age and Education Background

The TSC chief executive was born in 1963. In 1987, she graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Education in English/Literature. Ms. Nancy pursued a master of Education Policy and Management at Bristol University, UK.

Career

She started as a teacher at Kahuhia Girls’ Secondary in Murang’a before being promoted to deputy principal of Kiandeni Girls’ Secondary in the same county. The ambitious Ms Nancy quit as a teacher and took a job as a staffing officer. She later became director teacher management, reporting directly to the CEO. She was tasked with management of 4 senior deputies.

Background

The CEO position was advertised on May,1. It drew 69 candidates and 4 were shortlisted. After the grueling interviews, Nancy was appointed. She is the 9th person and 1st woman to hold this position.

Training

She has trained both locally and internationally in:
Business excellence models
Public procurement
Information Communication Technology(ICT)
Corporate governance
Proactive management
She is also a member of the Kenya Association of Public Administration Management(KAPAM) and institute of directors.

Controversies

Kenyans on Twitter have continuously bashed Nancy. A section of social media users castigated the CEO for being oblivious to the dangers teachers face working in North Eastern. Teachers in this region face hostility and even some are killed by Al Shabaab militants. The CEO, appeared before the National Assembly’s Education Committee and threatened them with interdiction if they absconded duty.

Achievements

In 2014, President Uhuru awarded her the Order of Grand Warrior. This was due to her development contribution both inside and outside the workplace.

She was part of the team that steered the national integrated data system for TSC. She also negotiated for funds from world bank.

In order to solve the ghost workers problem, she initiated the teacher management information system.

Hobbies

In her CV she cited the following hobbies: traveling, assisting the society’s less fortunate, gym, music and farming.

The number of teachers acquiring higher qualifications has gone up

The number of teachers acquiring higher qualifications has gone up, piling more pressure on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to fast track their promotions.

The 2020 Economic Survey data released yesterday shows the number of teachers who obtained degree level qualifications or higher went up by 6,662, translating to a 7 per cent increase.

This brings to 61,364 the number of teachers who have for the last three years upgraded their education. Overall, the survey says, the total number of teachers with degree qualification stands at 101,560 up from 94,898.

This means TSC may require additional resources to promote the teachers, who will scramble for limited slots. Promotion of teachers who have attained higher qualifications has been a sticky issue pitting the unions against TSC. The survey says the number of teachers with diploma qualifications or below is down by 698. TSC employs more than 300,000 teachers.

During the review period, according to the report, the number of teachers with bachelors’ degree accounted for 94.7 per cent of the total count of teachers. It says the number of teachers with postgraduate degrees has gradually declined to stand at 1,920 in 2019.

Last year only 4,312 teachers had diploma qualifications. The number has decreased by 16.2 per cent to 3,614.

The data shows that the total number of teachers increased by six per cent to 105,234 in 2019 from 99,272 in 2018. The number of male teachers accounts for 59.0 per cent of the total teacher population in 2019.

The data does not include teachers with certificate qualifications, which form the biggest chunk of teachers in public schools.

first Kenyan virtual graduation set in 2 weeks

The Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT) is set to hold a virtual graduation ceremony for its students in two weeks, becoming the first Kenyan institution of higher learning to do so.

This comes amid a ban on public gatherings due to Covid-19.
Vice Chancellor Prof Ndirangu Kioni said the move follows requests from students.

“The students requested for the graduation ceremony because they wanted their certificates so that they can move on with their lives,” he said.

The virtual event that will be held on May 8 will see 1,777 students graduate in its 9th ceremony.

“The University Senate resolved to hold a virtual graduation in keeping with our student-centric approach. It was to ensure that we keep our promise to the students and graduands of DeKUT of timely completion of studies,” he said.

ONLY 15 PRESENT

“It will be a brief ceremony and will be attended by a maximum of 15 people spread out in our main hall. The deans will stay in their offices or wherever they will be and read out the names from there,” he said, adding that it will be streamed online.
The 15 will be the key people including the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor and members of Senate.

“The ceremony will be very brief and will follow all the laid out directives by the Ministry of Health. The short span will also discourage people congregating at any point,” he said.
The students will catch the ceremony online via the university’s YouTube, Facebook and Twitter platforms.

“In these uncertain times, it is hard to predict when the country will go back to normalcy so that a traditional graduation can be held…our graduands who worked hard to complete their studies should not suffer a delay,” said Prof Kioni.

“Our students in nursing and IT completed their studies last year but cannot secure employment for lack of the certificates yet their skills are needed during this period,” he added.
As part of preparations, the university has advised graduands to download their e-invitation cards from the student portal. They will follow the live event from wherever they will be. The graduands are required to part with between Sh3,100 (diplomas) and Sh6,100 (PhD).

The graduating class will receive their certificates after two weeks of the virtual graduation.

While student leaders seem to agree with the administration, some graduands are against virtual graduation. They have taken to Twitter and Facebook to oppose the graduation fee requirement.

Through #NoVirtualGraduation hashtag and WhatsApp groups, they questioned the rush to award certificates at a time when the pandemic has shut the economy. Hurbert Murende, a graduand said, “a virtual graduation is like being ripped off something that you are worth, it feels like watching a graduation on YouTube, which makes no sense.”

Schools likely to reopen in June, exams still on – CS Magoha

cs magoha

Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha on Sunday announced that the government had resolved to extend the nationwide school closure by one more month.

CS Magoha, addressing the press at Afya House during the daily Covid-19 briefings, hence intimated that the schools, which were initially set to reopen on May 4, could now resume operations in June.

The CS however added that the national examinations are however still on, saying any other decisions on the contrary will depend on the government’s ability to control the spread of the novel coronavirus.

He further stated that when the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations are finally administered, learners will have been given enough time to make up for the time lost during the coronavirus outbreak period.

“For the past four weeks or so, the children have been on normal vocation; an activity that will end on May 4. In the interest of the safety and lives of our children, the government has decided to extend school closure for one month effective from the date of opening,” he said.

“During the intervening period, there will be many interventions that will depend on how the government is able to control this disease. I want to emphasize that whenever the examination is going to be administered, every Kenyan child will have been given the opportunity to cover whatever time that is lost before the said examination is administered.”

He added: “At this point, the government has not decided to postpone both the KCPE and KCSE. Let our children enjoy the last week on holiday, and then start the one month that has been added to them.”
