290 Out 300 Health Workers Fail English Test For UK Jobs -

[Meria]

Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe says only 10 out of 300 health workers who did an English test for UK jobs passed.

The scheme, hatched in July, would have seen hundreds of Kenyan nurses and other health workers get a chance to work in the UK.

Currently, there are more than 30,000 jobless Kenyan nurses and healthcare workers in the country.

Kuna wakati nilinikisha onions vizuri administering these tests. Wakaanguka, so I started training them. That's how I acquired my first jalopy.

Not surprised. University kids nowadays can hardly write two sentences without very glaring mistakes.

Ni kwa nini tunashangazwa na maneno ya watu kuanguka mtihani inapima ujuzi wa lugha ya mkoloni? Huwa mnafanyisha hao wazungu wanaokuja kufanya kazi huku mtihani ya Kiswahili?

Kiuliso: Do the wazungus need Kiswahili to work here?

But how comes Kenyans don't have a problem in TOEFL?

The problem is that you have people getting into nursing schools after cheating in their KCSE so that grades are not reflective of intellectual ability. Also, nurses getting jobs thanks to tall relatives instead of being selected on the basis of merit.

I'm guessing because UK-ians are monolingual and this being about people's health the nurse needs to be able to communicate instructions exactly as intended.

Hapa we understand Kizungu and translators wako kila kona.

10 out of 300 sounds about right. Si ata kizungu... every single field hapa kenya out of 300 specialists ni kumi tu ndio wana ufahamu wengine kelele tu.

At least the US Peace Corps are taught Kiswahili the moment they land here.
