THE SYSTEM
the master of time,
the witch of change,
is one great commoner.

brought about good,
on the other side bad,
worth of an invention.

time is always money,
wise ones find it honey,
fools be at door banging.

~technology in education ~••

education is a key,
everyone is on the rase,
to find it wherever whenever.
my nation's value for it,
its worth is as much big,
than a bride price in the maa'.

time for change had come,
when higher education,
could be easily accessed,
online on phones and laptops,
we have been living in the culture,
as so many learning institutions,
could afford the "dead system".

~the pandemic ~••

year 2 0 1 9
was the dawn of it all,
a killer virus Corona!
origin from China!
my nations' money lender!,
no cure,no preventive but caution.
henceforth,we had to live with it.
and school had to adjust.

~school,pandemic and technology ~••

caution is better than cure,
social distance!no public gatherings
school became a victim of it,
and the government had no option,
but to shut down all institutions,
shoved dreams of young kenyans
could see a clear gray shadow,
for the future was unpredictable.

but with time,
there is always a way out,
after dusk comes dawn,
after winter comes summer,
" the dead system "
became remedy,as
all highschool and universities,
adjusted to an online mode of study.

~impacts of online mode of study to the learners ~••

its all about responsibility,
saved time,
that would rather be wasted,
enriched many,
instills self loyalty,
offers visual clarification,
even through animations.

though good comes with bad,
online learning has iniquities,
does not give a structure,
a discipline and a pear,
that grooms students,
to be better persons in the society.

~challenges impost to the society by "the system" ~••

part and parcel of school,
is the society we live in,
this include parents,students
the ministry the government,
and the teachers association.

teachers have lost their jobs,
they are no longer effective on duty.
students find it difficult,
to use the system as it is complex.
the government on the other side,
has a huge debt as a result,
parents are suffering,
the cost of buying the gadgets,
and affording data,by the poor
the system favours only the rich.
