My family is from Kenya originally and I lived there from 2007 till 2021 when I moved to South Africa.
I appreciate the complexity of this problem and how you've been able to break down some of the dangerous/incorrect assumptions that we might wake. In the Kenyan context, I think that everyone assumes that there has been and continues to be substantial tribal/ethnic favouritism in all areas, so it's nice to see proper analysis of the data to deconstruct the important educational piece of the puzzle.
Thanks for this reflection Azam - I've also found that perceptions of favouritism run very strong in Kenya, and this is hard to tackle without a better understanding of how favouritism actually manifests itself. It will be interesting to see if and how devolution helps to change these perceptions.
