It was difficult for me to continue with primary education during Moi era, until when Kibaki came to power and introduced free primary education and partially free secondary education. He did what was better for him then. You're better in next life Mwai Kibaki.
@JonathanMBR has literacy rate improved? I hope it had improved.
But dont know ground reality, here in india education is free but many illiterate parents dont send after class 5
@JonathanMBR even the police went to make them understand, but due to poor child welfare facility the authorities cant just take them away
@JonathanMBR if voluntarily to help parents, then its good. My dad did like that in vacations, clean garden or collect firewood.. i collected wood to create a pyre for a ceremony (holika dahan), and earned a little in donations, but not at all due to finantial needs. Im very grateful to be relatively well off
@Aman9das yes helping parents is a must, that's children here helps parents in their work is very normal, that's we worked and still children work without pay to help their parents. There this work you go to work motivated by money to buy something like doughnuts, shoes and clothes, plenty of them for children because child labour is cheaper and they are easy to manipulate.
@JonathanMBR children labourers here too, doing stuff like working in fields during vacation/harvest. Sounds alright, but it is just slowly falling behind in education n dropping out
