DALC Education History Description

In the year 2001, I was sitting alone in Russell Square in the United Kingdom and wondered what I would take back home. Being a teacher, I thought of books, gift pens and other academic items before realising that these would only benefit very few people.

As the thought processes drifted, I became more objective and began to think of starting an institution which could be a school or college. I soon realised that schools and colleges in Kenya are grouped into public and private but the common goal for all is glory in examinations. All schools in Kenya and the rest of Africa are very focused on examinations at end of term or end of semester.

More disturbing was the admission process. I remembered so many people in my Primary and High School classes that never made it to university because they never got good or minimum grades. I noted that some of them were so intelligent but factors beyond their control made them fail the written examinations. Some failed because their parents perished in a road accident 2 months before the examinations and could not concentrate on revisions and the examinations. Some were in and out of class due to lack of fees. Some were sick and had to take the exams from hospital beds. Some bright girls became pregnant and dropped off or did the examinations from maternity wards.

I knew that these people would have wished to explain their situations to universities during admissions with evidences of consistent and very good academic backgrounds from Primary to Secondary School, being always within the top ten group. But the universities and colleges in Africa have fixed or rigid admission systems that cares less about your misfortunes. “Just let us have your minimum grades and do not waste our time with useless stories” would be the obvious answer to such people.

Later on such people, would look for jobs and because of their natural intelligence, they would perform very well on the jobs and soon get promotions to become managers or section heads. Several years of performance would see them rise even further to become heads of large organizations. They would represent their organizations in international seminars among the so-called learned and would be elected chairman or distinguished official for organizations.

So such very experienced persons would one day wish to add something to their achievement, a bachelors or a masters degree. They would approach the universities for admission to explain that they have all along been intelligent and now proven with their achievement. Of course the universities would listen to none of it and remind them of their rules that end up with “where are your grades?”
These are just some of the scenarios that inspired me to start DALC Education. I knew there were enough colleges in Kenya and Africa. There would be no reason for me to start another college just to enable students cram or memorize tutors notes and recall the same onto foolscaps in the hope of getting papers. I did not wish to continue the culture of “let me get the papers by all means then my uncle can push for me that job”.

So I started the long journey of making something new and different and take with me back home. A college, a school, and an education system that is different and would give the people the true meaning of education: gaining knowledge and skills to start something new and improve on what is existing. To crown it all I coined a slogan to summarize my agenda: A Certificate is just paper…. Its Content is the Value!

Of course I knew there would be resistance and all manner of manipulations to stop my agenda because most people in Africa are deeply rooted in old and traditional myths of education.

Today DALC is the implementation platform for the new education paradigm in Africa. We undertake Gift and Talent Testing while also recognizing work experience and qualifications during admission process. The institution has fully implemented its objects and now shares with colleges and universities. For this reason the institution re-organized and let go its teaching to the colleges and remains to provide “digital” and “advisory” services to all.

In this regard the institution has invested and collaborated heavily in processes that would aid Gift and Talent Testing and production of Academic Portfolios for those with work experience. Such Academic Portfolios would produce Academic Credit Points that are used to earn exemptions for those with work experience during admissions.

I wish you all the best in your pursuit for real education and hope that become creative and produce something ne or improve on what is existing.
