7. Gracie K. Mulei – Educationist

According to an interim report on unrest in schools presented by Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i yesterday, about 68 schools that have experienced arson.

Cases of unrest in schools have been common especially in second term but the recent wave has left a section of the public  with the view that people who might not be in favour with the reforms Matiang’i is making in the education sector are trying to sabotage the progress.

Others also hold the opinion that schools have also failed to adapt changes of the 21^st century and are still stuck with draconian rules.
