This year, the second quarter of the schools will also start.
The fact that schools in Kenya are closed, instead of three months in summer as in Europe, one month every three, in April, August and December, is one of the reasons why national elections take place in August.
"A school with the same duration as the European ones will match our times with the Western ones and will also be of great help to Tourism." These words of the Minister of Tourism Kenyan Najib Balala.
The reform that Balala asks for a year and which Kenyatta has put into his "Vision 2030", aims to unify the holidays from June to September as in Italy, and no longer divide them into three periods as now, precisely after every single quarter .
There are a lot of people, especially in Malindi, the kids kept by the Italians who often do not understand why the "stew" kenyan schools start in January and stop every three months.
But what is not clear is what really do secondary schools, those aged 14 to 18, to understand.
Malindikenya.net has recovered this year's subscription prices and can make it clear on the subject. A private school (for example, the Barani Academy in Malindi) costs 45,000 shillings a year (about 400 euros), with an inscription for the first year of 3000 shillings and a book volume of 5000. Each year the cost rises to 3000 shillings about.
In short, studying a promising Kenyan pupil for 4 years and bringing it to a job of a certain level can cost about 2000 euros.
Different talk for less listed state schools.
For example, at Malindi High School, there is some educational deficiency, but spending is definitely less.
Two hundred euros a year, also because so many are paid by the state directly to the school, at the time of enrollment of the pupil. It will be necessary to add the quotas books, meals, and divisions.
However, in total less than nine hundred euros for the four-year period.
