Kenya Wildlife Service - Experience Your Wildlife: Grevy’s Zebra
( 0 Votes )
The Grevy’s zebras naturally live in semi-arid areas in the north of equator. In Kenya they are found in Samburu, Isiolo and Laikipia and in Marsabit. The Grevy's zebra eats mainly grass and spends most of the daylight hours grazing. It prefers tender shoots, but usually has to eat mostly coarser grass. Leaves and wild fruits are also eaten. Grevy's zebra has adapted well to its desert-like habitat and seems able to withstand extremes of both heat and thirst. It can survive for several days without eating or drinking. Foals (young Grevy’s zebra) take longer intervals between suckling times and do not drink water until they are 3 months old. Peak Performance: The Power of Goal-setting

The process of goal setting is critical for us to succeed in any area of our life. It is particularly important for students to set clear and smart academic goals for the coming year. Kenya Tourist Board: High Potential Tourism Market via Education Tourism
( 0 Votes )
Countries in the sub-region cannot expect to develop a sustainable edu-tourism based solely on foreign tourist. These countries need to build and nurture the domestic capacity critical for the long-term success of edu-tourism. Education policies should be revamped to incorporate edu-tourism programs in school curricula from primary to tertiary levels. Students in these institutions should not only learn about these attractions/resources in their courses, but should be actively encouraged and required to make field trips to these sites. This is particularly important because research suggests that interest in the activities that most people engage in as adults were first developed during childhood and adolescence (Mcguire, Dottavio & O'Leary, 1987). By encouraging the involvement of school children in their formative and impressionable years, sub-Saharan African countries will be creating a cadre of future clients to sustain edu-tourism.

A change leader is a visionary leader who has a vision that forms the basis of their work.
A visionary leader aims and hits at something no one else can see. A vision is the leaders’ image of the desired future and is communicated (shared) with intention of empowering his followers (staff members) so that they can enact the vision. A Vision gives him the ability to visualize their goals. Their vision of their school provides purpose, meaning, and significance to the work of the school and enables them to motivate and empower the staff to contribute to the realization of the vision. Leadership includes the principal's ability to translate a vision into reality as well as the ability to articulate the vision to others so that they become motivated to work toward the realization of the vision.

The Harmonized Draft Constitution of Kenya (2009) decreed in Article 9:1-4 Kiswahili as a national language, and the official languages as Kiswahili and English. As for the mother tongue (MT), the state is compelled to respect, promote and protect the diversity of the language of the people of Kenya, and to promote the development and use of indigenous language; also promote and develop the use of Braille and other modes of communication for persons with visual and other impairment. But the discretionary language used in Article 9 on the role of the state in promotion of Indigenous language is worrisome because of the discretionary language employed by the literal construction of the Article.
