      What should be added to the curriculum as agriculture and being able to use natural resources. That's something that the government in Kenya did not even do that. We need to learn how to be dependent on ourselves and our resources. Our livelihood will basically need to be upgraded. Since these people love to talk about Armageddon so much and grid crashes. We need to learn how to survive off land. Using natural resources etc there's like so many topics I have on this. But hopefully making all acknowledge are local languages. I know most things have to be done in English due to colonialism. But it's getting me mad that they won't even teach our children local languages in school. Like why not?

And if they don't have the cash, the kids get put out of school immediately. The schools in Nairobi might look nice, but, all across that nation, the education system is trash.
