By JOHN NJAGIMore by this AuthorMore than 400 private-owned schools face closure over poor learning standards and failure to follow the standard curricula. A report by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) and Education International, an NGO, called for the closure of Bridge International Academies, among other schools. Knut and the international NGO said the syllabus was sent directly from the United States, where the owners of the schools reside. Mr Angelo Gavireilatos of Education International accused the schools of “putting profit before learning”. “Our investigations show that the schools provide poor quality education at a cost that is not affordable to the poor,” he said.
