good idea to have content sitting at individual schools website.  that would reduce the pressure on knec website, while increasing number of primary and high schools with websites.

Sospeter, this is something you should push for.  I know you will most likely hit a dead-end at the Ministry considering their recent ratings on the local "wikileaks" (if u know what i mean ;-)

walu.

@Steve, what I mean is that the individual schools would have to get the
results physically from KNEC. Maybe through the DEO's or PDE's offices.

Then they have to input the data in their websites which would take a
couple of days. You know teachers, busy and all.

As for a solution on how the schools can get the results faster, that will
have to be a collaboration between us and KNEC although that would be a
tedious process just to bypass bureaucracy. See what I mean?

Regards.
