How does Mulango Girls High School manage to keep on posting decent KCSE results year after year?

Well, I think there are three main reasons why Mulango Girls High School in Kitui county manages to keep on posting decent KCSE results year after year.

First is the fact that Mulango girls is a relatively well equipped school. You can’t start comparing Mulango Girls with one of these upcoming harambee schools, some of which are just starting to cobble together libraries and laboratories. Mulango girs is a relatively old school and has accumulated some resources over the years, which are used for the benefit of the students.

Second is the fact that Mulango girls admits kids who are reasonably bright. These are usually highly motivated kids from families that value education. Therefore teaching such kids and getting them to excel is not as hard.

Third is the fact that Mulango Girls has, over the years, developed a culture of excellence. So the girls who are admitted there each passing year feel the push to maintain that culture. This counts for something, because there are certain schools out there that instead of having a culture of excellence, actually have a culture of failure!

To those I would also add the fact that Mulango Girls is a school with considerably good discipline standards, being as it is a school that is located within a strong church community. For that reason, you can’t even start comparing Mulango Girls with one of those schools that operate in completely secular settings. The fact that Mulango Girls is within a huge AIC compound (with various other AIC facilities co-existing alongside it) means that all the people operating in the school are influenced, to a considerable extent, by biblical teachings. And this ends up having some influence on the schools long-term performance, in my view.
