Note for the folks at home: The Kenyan educational system is fairly similar to that of many other countries. The system, called "8-4-4", combines eight years of primary school (U.S. "elementary" and "middle school"), four years of secondary school (U.S. "high school"), and four (or more) years of university. In the secondary school level, most of the courses are similar to those taken by U.S. students: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English, Geography, Computer Studies, and History. Kenya also has a few unique subjects: Kiswahili, Agriculture, Business Studies, and C.R.E.: "Christian Religious Education". C.R.E. is a nationally examined subject, giving evidence that "separation of church and state" isn't a huge priority in the Kenyan educational system.
