It means you will go to a mediocre village secondary school without a laboratory and qualified teachers. You will be lucky to sit for KCSE exams. In short, your goose is cooked.

But one candidate has overcome all these odds to post stellar results in the KCSE 2o18 exams. Josephat Mwangi  was the most improved candidate  as he scored a mean grade of A- after getting 278 at KCPE.

His achievement is made even sweeter with the fact that he achieved this from a small school, Mihoro Secondary in Murang’a County.
