Rather employment promotes education.<BR/><BR/>I would prefer if the government provides an enabling environment for investment and business. This in turn will generate jobs and the much needed taxes to fund 'free' education.<BR/><BR/>This way, we will also gear our education towards fulfilling the needs of employers.<BR/><BR/>Right now there are much more educated Kenyans than there are jobs. This is the main reason for under-employment and is promoting the brain drain.<BR/><BR/>In summary, we need infrastructure, rule of law, protection of private property (be it a mud hut) and corrupt free institutions.The Black Mambahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093261923557991519noreply@blogger.com
