[Photo: nation.co.ke]Education scholars have asked the government to focus more on the 87.79 percent who completed the KCSE exam this year but did not qualify to join universities.Led by Technical University of Kenya vice chancellor Francis Aduol, the scholars said the government can achieve this by giving priority to Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority institutions offering technical skills.“This year, we have seen the results and it is evident almost 90 percent have not qualified to join the university. What should be of concern is how to help this lot get slots to acquire technical skills through vocational training,” Aduol said on Thursday as quoted by the Star.He added: Aduol said, “KCSE exam should not be regarded as a means by which you qualify for university, but a basis for general education to channel you towards a particular cause in life.”Aduol also said the government should resume sponsorship of students pursuing diploma courses at TUK institutions while also promoting science-related subjects in secondary schools.He spoke during a graduation ceremony at the university’s main campus in Nairobi where 1,400 graduands were conferred with degrees.
