Congrats for your appointment prof. Just that as you take up your duties in the education taskforce take it upon yourself as your first duty to advise the Chancellor/VC UoN to implement the double intake and make known when the admission of J.A.B KCSE 2010 students will take place and clear the suspense and frustration. This is for the good of all because first the institution -apparently the best public university- will be having a backlog while others are way ahead then those admitted there do not know what to expect and are fearing for last minute rushes and it is unfair considering that some of the candidates they sat for the exam with are already into their first semester while they have no idea if they are going to join soon or even when for that matter. Also advice them to prioritize infrastructure development because it is crystal clear that the student numbers has and will continue to rise while the facilities are not equally doing so therefore putting a stain on them.

Congrat prof, you are up to the task.
There is an area that is so core to human life but is highly neglected in our education system. this area is physical education or reffered in other parts of world as science of human movement. what is ailing a majority of kenyans today is the problem of less or minimal use of our gross body to do adequate movement or physical activity thus onset of hypokinetic conditions and diseases.
Am not sure if this will fall within the helm of the tasforce mandate but kindly let it get entrenched in our education system thruough an act in the constitution.

Dear Prof.
Congratulations to your appointment to the Education Task Force.
Please when you represent the University, is it possible to check the inclusion of disaster management curriculum in our education sector. I would propose that our University Curriculum try to accommodate teaching of Education in Emergencies to our students and especially our student teachers who may truncate the ideas to very many other people in their teaching career.
