The Kenyan education system offers government sponsored schools and private schools, both at the elementary and secondary level. The KCPE (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education) results are the criteria for acceptance or refusal to enroll a child into a government secondary school.

Our youngest children, 8 of them, have now been relocated to a private elementary school called Lakeview Vidrose Academy. KOP went to a private school because Lakeview has a good reputation and also because most of our children were lacking their birth certificates, a must have to be accepted in a government school. A KOP team visited Lakeview last May to assess the school. We believe that the children are receiving a solid elementary education that hopefully will qualify them to attend a government secondary school.

The other 21 children are attending eight different boarding schools, some of them private and some of them government schools. All the schools were assessed by KOP and one of them did not seem to meet our requirements, Blue Hills Academy. Three of the four boys attending Blue Hills are now relocated at Wahundura High School.

At the end of 2011, we will have our first high school graduate, Loise Njeri. Loise will be required to pass her KCSE test (Kenya Certificate of Secondary education) and her results will determine what her future might be.
