Hassan Joho Explains Why He Scored a D in KCSE, Blames Lack of School Fees

Mining, Blue Economy and Maritime Affairs Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho has explained why he scored a D in his Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams.

Joho said he did not perform poorly because he lacked intelligence. Instead, he blamed his low grade on the financial problems his family faced while he was in school.

He spoke on Thursday, November 11, during the Kenya Comprehensive School Heads Association (KECSHA) conference in Mombasa. President William Ruto was also present.

Joho told the school heads that his parents struggled to pay his school fees. As a result, he sometimes missed an entire school term because his family could not afford the fees.

He said he was a bright student and believed he would have scored an A if he had studied under the current government system.

According to Joho, students should be judged by their ability and not by how much money their parents have.

He praised President Ruto’s Usawa Wa Maendeleo agenda, saying it could give children from poor families a fair chance to succeed in school.

Joho added that many bright students in Kenya fail to reach their full potential because their families cannot afford their education.

His story has brought attention to the challenges faced by students from poor families and the need to give every child equal access to education.
