A high school teacher has recently gained widespread recognition after a video of his impactful guidance to his students made waves across the internet.
In the video, the teacher can be heard delivering valuable advice to the young adults who are attentively hanging on to his every word.
This unidentified teacher imparts his wisdom to the students, emphasizing that the conventional advice of excelling in exams and pursuing a university education to secure a good job is now a thing of the past. Instead, he encourages them to apply for passports as soon as they obtain their identity cards.
He passionately conveys, “The old notion of merely focusing on academic success and university degrees for a promising career is outdated. As soon as you receive your identity card, waste no time in applying for a passport; keep it handy.”
The video sparked a flood of responses from netizens, who shared their thoughts on the teacher’s counsel and even drew comparisons with their own teachers.
“He sounds just like my teacher, Mr. Kevin, from Nyahururu boys! 😂♥️”
“Teachers these days are offering invaluable advice.”
“We used to refer to this teacher as ‘Kingsman.’ He was truly exceptional.” commented Kenyans online.
This teacher’s guidance coincides with the Ministry of Education’s ongoing transition from the 8-4-4 education system to the Competency-Based Curriculum, which professionals argue is superior as it provides learners with a flexible framework and adaptable parameters that align with the learners’ evolving needs.
