I have heard of parents from my village whose children have been admitted to join Lokitaung Secondary School in Turkana County and whose nearest town sounds like it is in Tripoli, Libya. SCHOOL LIFEWhen I received the letter to report to my high school, aptly nicknamed Manyani after an infamous freedom fighter’s detention camp, no one in the entire village had heard of that school. Out of the school emerged below average students who went to become prominent farmers and owners of chains of hardware shops and pickup trucks. The same school churned out sharp doctors that you go to see when your child has accidentally swallowed an insect. You refuse to buy into the idea because you don’t know of a matatu that plies the route between your village and India.
