Dr. Agnes Wahome CEO KUCCPS explains how a student with an A- was placed in a TVET institution

#CitizenTV #Kenya #news

[@maureenkamau6781]

This is a process that requires a lot of flexibility, compassion, guidance, and mentorship, every candidate dreads making a choice and then later finding out that the choice they made is not working well for them. The beauty of it is that the process has been improving and should continue to be reviewed and improved.

[@samsonokenye4130]

Her explanation is makes sense. The student was so ambitious

[@ddm4622]

Her explanation is stupid ...she could certainly do nursing elsewhere. How does A- doing Dip in Kiambu make sense to you !

[@jacintanthenya3319]

Exactly,she would have been guided,because dentistry course has high cut off points..

[@alextercisio]

Exactly

[@justusmusau3238]

Why not upgrade to accommodate more. A- is a good grade to pursue any course of your choice

[@lisak9361]

Very sad state of affairs for Kenyan youth!! Incompetency in the highest offices through and through!!

[@josephkimari4810]

How comes Matiangi and Magoha managed this ministry with no much issues,Please kenyan parents rise up ,no where in this world will A Student be given certificate or diploma course,we have lost it as country

[@omokemorara8656]

The students who were given ridiculous placements should go private or seek foreign admissions and do whatever they like to avoid wasting their good scores.

[@josephkimari4810]

They would wish,but what about the cost,let machogu consult Matiangi ,We never had these issues during Matiangi error

[@lotusfaulu]

Agree! @Citizen, could you set up a helpline for the A- student? there are universities, abroad (USA, Australia, UK, Canada) that offer scholarships to International Students.

[@kennethokumu6375]

KUCCPS University - TVET course selection needs to be made FREE of charge as long as a student has sat for KCSE there is no need of placing additional fees for University TVET course selection many qualifying students from financially challenged homes cannot raise the 1000/- or 500/- additional fees for KUCCPS in order to access the portal for course selection they end up missing out. The low intake of only 1/3 of the qualifying students should be a big worry to this government, how can 2/3 of the qualifying students be left out? to access higher education. What are the reasons? 500,000 qualifying students is not a small number.

[@Pundit3957]

No system. Those chances reserved for kids from well families. Bure kabisa

[@bosiborimomanyi5592]

Nkt ...the course s were given to rich people...nkt

[@mcdonbosire3264]

Her clarification is wrong. We have all useless courses in our Universities.

[@joseO12326]

She starts by saying we dont have useless courses 😂😂😂 she is lying

[@humblebeginningpoultryfarm239]

KUCCUPS IS THE WORST THING YOU CAN EVER MADE. I applied for a course refused to change my course. And they insists. I will never ever change that course unless. I go do it in a private school.and am not able to pursue or afford the school fees

[@humenvironment]

These leaders cannot deliver.

[@mganji444]

The government is not creating jobs they are giving low income jobs to diploma students and in a way to justify that they give grants to privileged people with a promise to be a benefactor if the system survives yet every year graduates lack jobs same scenario with world coin no jobs yet we in colleges are loosing to gain

[@Cyloowspeaks]

Upuzi kabisa serikali ni ya majambazi

[@timggdvs7981]

The consequences of cheating in exams! Let magoha continue resting in paradise😢😢

[@jakee2041]

500, 000 with no replacement in universities??? Na huruma ya Mwenyezi Mungu mlichukua wapi fellow Kenyans?? Hiiiiiiii ni government gani surely?? We have never seen it before ,,, 500, 000????????? Why????😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔

[@EmmanuelMuange]

Im not satisfied with this explanation. Reducing a child's ambitions by lowering the threshold isnt a good way to build a system. Make some horizontal comparisons. I cant imagine an A- student who made 3 degree choices being denied because there are too many As. Give them an ALTERNATIVE degree course, not a diploma. That fourth choice is a desperate one. Im sure it hurts. It's difficult to make the cut, but to find yourself designated to an lower institution is tougher. Imagine the hassle of starting your course and transfering your credits into a degree course. Ngumu. Maybe students should sit for University entrance exams instead of a standardized test. There's less chance to have a false sense of accomplishment only for "The System" to fail you.

[@humenvironment]

If Dr. Wahome was granted the opportunity to take the diploma, would she have the PhD? That's so sick. A- cannot equal that cheap trash diploma.

[@olivianyokabi523]

So what you are implying is that someone who has started out with a diploma cannot get to the level of obtaining a PhD?

[@mganji444]

Stop applying double standards our courts are being misused to handle finance bills yet in a little trajectory to offer a lawyer with a degree a job is being justified by offering them a job as an administrative assistant in a room of pple making no educated guesses 😂

[@robertadwar333]

I think an A- student should only go for a diploma by choice but not a system based, there has to be a conversation if otherwise, it's also clear there was no clear indication on the selection process.

[@mganji444]

Yaaani tunaambiwa degree students are entitled ndio tupoteze job creation alafu the same system that is penalizing you inaunderpriviledge a diploma student by giving them a low income job so in any case whichever grade you get the choice you make is going to be marked by a concensus.

[@francisoino3156]

Who told you Degree is everything are you one of them wat have you achieved or the certificate is still in the folder helpless😅

[@akababenjamin355]

Nonsense. Cartels allover. This is unacceptable

[@anthonykombo1525]

Why can't they allow Ds to take degree courses in university?

[@anthonymaina2215]

Really Dr? How did you end up with a doctorate? Would you have agreed to take a tvet course? Wasting your children…

[@ELIZABETHINZALO]

She says that there is no useless course,why didn't she not choose it if it weren't useless,you are wasting us and that's why many Kenyans leave Kenya to study or work abroad 😢

[@carolinekangara4403]

This is unacceptable and the explanation is invalid,at that state students don't know alot

[@CHD1718]

NKT!!! That student worked hard only to do a diploma Kenya Kenya💔

[@Vel42]

But nowadays the problem in schools is cheating in exams hakuna kusoma nowadays.

[@denniskiplangat2080]

Who told you that

[@MNVanny]

​@@denniskiplangat2080it's obvious

[@jakee2041]

After the results of form 4, let principles of secondary schools announce to students they come back for applications while finishing exams. So that they are guided on how to choose causes. Other students have no even phones, or tv in homes, so when portal has been opened they are not AWARE!!!!! that's why the 500, 000 have not been replaced. 😭😭😭😭

[@kiplangatstanley3261]

There's no transparency in Kuccps..... Best courses are reserved for those who have money.

[@enockosuma3662]

I had no money at all ... and I got exactly wat I wanted. This thing has been working like this all through ijaanza leo. There is always a chance to change to a better course you qualified for.

[@intrumrecoveries8330]

The answer does not make sense.If the student had a cluster point of 40 how then did the system allow her to choose dentistry at the UON which has a cluster of 43.The system should not have allowed her to select the courses if her cluster was less than required.

[@esthermaina4869]

The selection is made before they sit the exam.

[@seliphawaigwa1981]

This is it! It clearly shows that the system is not intelligent and it is so sad they don't see how flawed that is. Makes me wonder why they couldn't have hired an experienced IT technician to develop that platform. I also believe students are normally allowed to revise their choices once results are out. Excellence in delivery of services in government bodies is wanting, to be honest.

[@janechris9005]

My daughter had 409 in KCPE ,since i was out the country she ended up in EXTRA COUNTY school, totally disappointed with kenya system unless you know someone

[@davidcheruiyot4800]

Wahome should be removed

[@ELIZABETHINZALO]

Thats a lie,they never give clear guidance,am also a victim,

[@herbertogaro7270]

The system clearly lacks enough redundancy to ensure all options are catered for.

[@jayneljay5905]

what is soo special with dentistry that requires student to have a clean A???

[@KEVIN-jx6hj]

I don't think they create enough awareness and guidance. Many students are usually not even aware whether the application portal has been opened or not, leave alone the transfer window and the huduma centres. They should reach out to the students via direct messages to their cellphones whenever a key event is about to take place.

[@kl3779]

Exactly

[@annkahiu7250]

Well said Kevo. Wangu hakujua portal zikifunguliwa na alipata B+ ya 72 points. Shida ni hakuweza chagua akiwa shuleni. Sasa sijui tufanyeje. Naomba tuelemishwe zaidi juu ya hili jambo

[@danbarack-o8y]

Come on, we have useless courses, these people are still leaving in the past.

[@kelvinnjohi5829]

I can't believe her!

[@rocheochola8923]

Useless system,you never reached anybody

[@mauriceshilabula4574]

where would she be if she was denied a chance

[@justusmusau3238]

Upgrade the facilities, government should stop thus nonsense

[@jacqueleneshimanyula6591]

It seems all students with A- were meant for Diploma courses. I have one with the same problem. Kindly correct the error

[@Reds1072]

Hudums centers guided by who a carreer teacher or anybody placed there ..

[@davidmuhiah477]

hata mimi hiyo system ilinichenga kidogo time yetu

[@ddm4622]

Wewe nikama bado uko na challenge kubwa sana

[@Mali-fm3rc]

😂 this reminds me of those equations...Find the square root of 2 and somehow you have to cook up formulae to get there lol Someone messed up for sure, they need to own up. That's not fair and it need to be fixed!!

[@mganji444]

A student with an A in their final examination chooses to do a class C certificate Yet a student with a B+ fails to do their degree and options for a diploma and in future further their studies in an honorary degree program justified by their unique Tvet skills which can be given by a simple degree with IT. Then how do you explain the insitution waiver of that student who scored an A and is doing a certificate which is nothing related to any programme offered in the kuccps...so many phds and academic compelling but no accounts of fair discpline courses.

[@rosemokogi2896]

Was places??? Please edit title

[@francisoino3156]

Student ako na A but n ya wizi hawezi kubali kupewa medicine na he or she knows will not make it.This is kenya

[@sylviaraywe7639]

Cut off for nursing is what now? 😂

[@alextercisio]

I knew that lady chosed a course which she didn't ve enough cluster point...

[@KJPro1]

There are useless courses like that Nutrition. Botany and Zoology is another.

[@jacksonmkithokilo1380]

😂useless ? I dont believe so. When our curriculum propelled us to a competitive education systems - collaboration ended... those courses are not useless..

[@marymakau6680]

Nutrition is not a useless course, only limited job opportunities in Kenya.

[@fridahkariuki3613]

These courses are not useless....Kenya just lacks job specialization..they would rather one employee do tasks which should be taken by two other employees...for instance, a doctor also offers nutrition Guidance which can be done comfortably by a nutritionist.

[@patrickwachisto]

And another one called applied biology 😸

[@khalif4423]

1:35

[@dannymwass4607]

D+ also should pursue a degree course.

[@timothykimeu-kc8ib]

Really 😊😊😊

[@erenestawanjiru1935]

😮😮😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂.😅

[@gladysnyangweso8230]

Are all As scored last year genuine?

[@benkiriama6169]

Is your D plain genuine, let's start from there

[@MCMweno]

04:37 😮 Straight A certificate course?

[@joemwangi5813]

Hii ni ukorA

[@jakee2041]

Reason is poor communication to students after form 4. Other Kenyans are poor, but their children performs excellently. Now you're assuming they have a radio, smartphone, TV, to reach them information,,,,, reach at the cyber for application, 1000 is needed plus cyber charges 400, you think they have,,,,, ANSWER to this problem is principles to give directions to all students after form 4 exam. Let students go .back to school for University applications after exams are out. We'll not be having this large number of 500, 000 with no replacement!!!!!!!!!!!

[@YvonneKarimi-km6vv]

[@dicksonmbai283]

You are so sick

[@bobjiy1861]

Pure nonsense not worth listening to, her explanation doesn't even justify thier cause of action towards that kid.
