High School |
0 USD |
Welcome
This site exists for the purpose of fullfilling two fuctions: 1) help alumnae and friends [faculty and staff] of the Kenya High School keep in touch, reminisce and know where friends from the good old days are and what they are up to lately; and 2) introduce the Kenya High School to people who may or may not have heard of it before.
General
Kenya High School (KHS) is an all girls secondary education institution located in Kileleshwa, Nairobi, Kenya. It was founded in 1908, originally known as European Girls' School. After Kenya gained independence in 1963, the school's name was shortly there after changed to the Kenya High School. Kenya high has for a long time been ranked among the best public high/secondary schools in Kenya, enjoying high and competitive enrollment from students of all walks of life in the country. Annual activities/ceremonies include a sports day in early spring [first term], parents' day in the summer [second term] and Speech day in the fall/autumn [third term].
The school's motto, servire est regnare -latin for to serve is to reign is on the KHS logo better known to the Kenya high community as the KHS badge.
Enrollment, Housing and Student Life
Kenya High School has an enrollment of about 900 students each year. The ten houses [dorms] are home to about 90% of these students for eight and a half months in a year. The minority of the student body are day-scholars [commuters], popularly known as "day-bags" to the KHS community. Each of the houses accommodates about 80 students; all from the four different class levels i.e. form one through form four. The houses are: Tausi[Huxley]/Sabaki[Cubbie], Chania[Beale]/Yala[Nightingale], Nyali[Mortimer], Suswa[Mitchell], Sagana[Hamilton]/Naivasha[Bronton], BP/Mara[Curie]. The symmetrical architectural design of the school has two houses in each building except for the two in the middle, which are home to one house each. There is a matron for every two houses that share a building except Nyali and Suswa. Besides the matrons, disciplinary actions in the dorms are up to the prefects -heads of houses [blue-rugs] and their deputies [red-rugs]. Besides the "blue-rugs" and the matrons, the principal and her deputy are the main disciplinarians. Although minimal, academically -faculty often have the upper hand in student discipline.
Academics
KHS has enjoyed a good standing among other schools academically, as gauged by the Kenya Certificate for Secondary Education [KCSE], a national exam undertaken by every fourth form student in the country. After grading, schools in the same caliber are pinned against each other, to which KHS has consistently ranked among the top for as long as the new education system 8-4-4 was instituted in 1986.

KENYA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT |
University and College |
0 USD |
Introduction
Since its inception in 1954, under the name of the East African Management Forum, the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) has been a member organisation which aims to enhance management knowledge and practice in both the public and private sector. The Institute is one of only four private national management development institutes in Sub-Saharan Africa. It has a membership of more than 4,000 individual members and about 500 corporate members.
The Institute has well established formal and informal links with major institutions including Resource Alliance, Technoserve, and the World Bank. More than 8,000 persons attend the various KIM programmes every year, including a growing number from other PTA countries.
The general management of the Institute is overseen by a Council elected during the Annual General Meeting. Members participate in the management of the Institute through the Council and its Committees, with advice from an advisory board refered to as the Board of Fellows. The National Chairman is the patron of the Institute.
The Management is led by an Executive Director who reports to the Council. Currently the Institute has over 100 permanent and pensionable employees and over 200-strong associate faculty both local and international. It has eleven fledged branches namely;Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Thika, Kisii, Kisumu, Kakamega, Kericho, Nyeri, Embu and Eldoret. The Head Office-Management Centre, is located at Nairobi, South C off Mombasa Road.
KIM Values and approaches to Management Development
a) The Institute believes that good and professional management practices are a pre-requisite to socio- economic growth of a country. Therefore, the Institute will devote its entire resources to the promotion of good management practices and will develop an internal capacity to gather, compile and disseminate knowledge that would lead to improved management practices.
In so doing, the Institute will be driven by the need to share knowledge rather than to monopolize it, to be out-spoken rather than silent, and will respect the rights of others to hold divergent views, to differ without conflict, and to negotiate its position in the Nation and in the community.
b) The Institute recognizes that, no matter how strong and well managed it becomes, it will not achieve its goals without seeking out and establishing strong working relations with institutions and persons doing similar work. The Institute will therefore pursue a facilitative rather than an implementational role in management development. In its role, the Institute will identify partners to work with, and will find ways to strengthen them for increased responsibility.
c) The Institute will be customer/ member driven, and will maintain close links with its clients and members in order to better understand their needs and develop appropriate programmes to address those needs.
d) The Institute will maintain good and cordial relations with its staff, showing them respect and motivating them towards greater achievement.
e) In its relations with the Government of Kenya, the Institute will be supportive and non-confrontational, and will seek the involvement of various governmental organs in its work.
f) The Institute also recognizes the important role the international agencies play in the development of a nation and will seek close collaboration with them while maintaining its independent and professional membership status.
g) When faced with new and unexpected issues, the Institute will be guided by entrepreneurial thought, will be proactive rather than reactive, and will be influenced only by what is right and ethical and not by the politics of the day.
h) The Institute regards suppliers and consultants as partners. As such the Institute will maintain cordial relations with them, and will treat them fairly and ensure vested interests and conflicts of interests do not mar this relationship
