Kenya cancels compulsory mathematics in high school

Kenya cancels compulsory mathematics in high school

Big changes are coming in Kenya's education sector, and one of them is the abolition of math classes for high school students. From the next calendar year, mathematics will be removed from the list of compulsory ones, so not all students from grades 10 to 12 will continue to study it. Employees of the country's Ministry of Education are confident that the amount of knowledge that children receive in mathematics classes up to high school is more than enough to consider them educated citizens.

Although the current statistics hint more at the fact that teenagers lack theoretical knowledge and practical skills in mathematics, since most of them have low scores - D and E. So, contrary to the opinion of the ministry, there are other proposals, for example, to deal with the problems that prevent students from learning the material efficiently in the classroom, and to increase the number of hours for mathematics lessons, if it is necessary to improve the educational level of children. Now there is no consensus in the country about the proposed educational reform, because many believe that mathematics is the queen of all sciences, without which the country will not develop.
