A student has been denied permanent entry to the Kenya School of Law,even after pursuing both a Diploma and an LL.B degree.
Prudence Kabura Ng’ang’a scored a C plain in her 2014 KCSE,but refused to let one exam define her future.
She therefore,went on to earn a Diploma in Law with a Distinction and later an LL.B from the University of Nairobi.
Despite this clear academic progression, the Kenya School of Law rejected her application to the Advocates Training Programme,solely because she did not meet the “C+” mean grade requirement from over a decade ago.
The High Court has now dismissed her case, ruling that the law remains strict on entry criteria. Under the Kenya School of Law Act, applicants must have a C+ mean grade and a B plain in English or Kiswahili, regardless of later academic success
