Just the other week I was in a Public Campus in Kenya that I was surprisingly shocked by the current first year students who are in session(2012 lot B). Damn I think this double intake the government decided to pull is so fucked up, many of this little sisters and brothers in first year don't even know what they are doing in campus, they are so lost, they need redemption. They are in crisis. Reason being,.. they are shit scared of what they are being taught... the calculus and the physics.
I happened to bump to a number of them queuing at the faculty of science and admissions office which is so unusual and this is how the conversation went.
Me: Hey guys - whats up? why are you all queuing here?
and they go like....
Freshers: We need inter faculty transfers and these people seem not to want to give us.
Mmmh this is me now...
Me: and why do you need to transfer to another faculty or another course?
they be going like ...
Freshers: Maze hii course tunado ni ngumu(the course they are talking is hard) ... #lolest# dumb kids, kwani what were they expecting? to be spoon fed in campus??? More so in a public campus? Naadaaa
Me: Now that you guys want to transfer to other courses, what are your preferred courses?
Freshers: Anything that doesn't have Maths and Science, things like NA-RE(Natural Resources), CDEV, CTID etc...
Me: Okay, Success in your search for transfer!!!
So question is how is it that chemistry or mathematics is suddenly becoming hard and these students were among the top in the country. They got clean A's in sciences... am left with no choice to think that they must have cheated in K.C.S.E.!!!!!!!
How can a young man shed tears when he is denied an inter-faculty transfer???
Food for the thought.
