Born and raised up in Nyeri, Wacera Muchemi says her passion is to transform the society through adult education.
When this writer caught up with her during this year’s International Literacy Day in Nakuru, Wacera is quick to point out that education has no .
“Education has no limit, one can study at any given time and that is why we say even the adults can study,” she said.
Her joy is when some of her adult education students come back to centres to give back to the society.
It is for this reason that she appeals to the government to ensure more effort towards adult education in various counties in order to realize the Big 4 agenda.
To her, adult education is no longer the famous gumbaru.
“Adult education is real and it is no longer the famous gumbaru. It is something that can change an individual as well as society hence the government should put more efforts on the same,” she said.
The adult education system is not like the normal schooling for pupils.
“The good thing with this adult education they don’t have to go for eight years in Primary but it depends with the sharpness of the students whom we then admit in secondary after KCPE,” she said.
Wacera added: “The lessons, too, we have to adjust to fit in their schedule as most of the students are engaged in other matters.”
Her appeal is for the government through the Ministry of education to ensure that the adult education centres are fully equipped with resources to help transform the society.
