Stella Kadzo accompanied her son Teddy to Shimo La Tewa High School to secure his place in Grade 10, even though they did not have any money or requirements for admission.
When they entered the school yard, Kadzo’s son was slowly leading him along the road towards the principal’s office.
The middle-aged mother explained her plight and asked well-meaning Kenyans to help her pay the boy’s school fees.
Teddy, who scored 53 in the Kenya Junior Secondary Education Assessment (KJSEA) test, explained that he accompanied his mother to ask the school for permission to reserve his place.
