"I left Form 4 as a D student. If I had grown up during President Ruto's time, I would have been an A student," CS Hassan Joho remarked jokingly, sparking laughter and debate.
He suggested that today's learners enjoy opportunities, resources and government support that were not as accessible in previous generations. From improved school infrastructure and expanded access to education to digital learning tools and increased awareness of the importance of academic achievement, the environment has changed significantly.
His comment was not necessarily about examination grades alone, but about how circumstances can shape outcomes. Many students of the past faced challenges such as limited resources, long distances to school and financial hardships.
By comparing different eras, he highlighted the role of leadership, policy and investment in education. Ultimately, the remark underscored a broader message: when young people are provided with better opportunities, they are more likely to realise their full potential and succeed.
