“If education is the key, then tell me why the bigger heads make it so expensive for we?” The popular reggae artist, Richie Spice, asked in his hit song ‘Youth Dem Cold.’ A question that would make complete sense in a world where capitalism was not the social philosophy of the day. However, in today’s world and Kenya the wheels of fortune have a bias in favour of the ‘haves,’ a bias that is reflected in the choices people make. One such choice includes taking children to the most expensive schools in Kenya.
