Its my prayer that Kenya re-shapes our education system too for the sake of our children and generations to come .. I look at the education system right now its appalling .. with our system you cant really gauge the potential of a student. While this is going on .. in Kenya we are still looking at taking our future generations abroad to study. We should hv had contenders in this from Kenya. Let all skunkers take the course to re-shape IT for the future in the country. On 6/16/09, Murigi Muraya <mmskunkworks@gmail.com> wrote:

China dominates NSA-backed coding contest Chinese student, 18, wins, prompting call for earlier math and science education in U.S.

Programmers from China and Russia have dominated an international competition on everything from writing algorithms to designing components.

Whether the outcome of this competition is another sign that math and science education in the U.S. needs improvement may spur debate. But of the 70 finalist in it, 20 were from China, 10 from Russia and only two from the U.S.
