Weeding out fake certificate in Kenya


For long unqualified impostors have roamed the streets terrorizing and destroying what for years what we the professionals have been building in whatever industry that one is involved. They had even gone to the extreme to creating market prices for commodities that they have no clue how they operate.

You may wonder as to why am ranting, this is the pain that I and many professionals out there are felling seeing some random forks taking our  piece of cake by issue of a certificate.

For those who have happened to go to school. (In this article we will narrow down to technology experts) it takes and average of 3-4 years for campus. Once this is completed depending on what ever industry you go to there are a couple of systems that you have to learn how to use e.g oracle systems, Cisco equipment’s and the likes.

This requires more funds and brainpower so as to acquire these hands on experience. Compare this to a  guy who runs to river road and print a couple of certificates for a few shillings which will take a maximum of an hour and he miraculously is certified in let’s say computer science, and  worse he gets hired for that position you been seeking.
  

Certificate Database


The Kenya National Qualifications Authority will by July 2017 come up with a database with all levels of graduates from all levels of education.

Bonaventure Kerre, the authority’s chairman, said a draft framework guiding the workings of the database was presented to stakeholders last month.

“We got some allocation from the Treasury just to get us started.” he also said .

This will be a gradual process in the system development. Learning institutions will be required to update learner’s certificates on to the system and board has given a time frame of two years.

Coincidentally this has come in time when Universities regulator Commission for University Education (CUE) has raised alarm over the fake certificate flooding the market.  Also with the issue of the questionable popular politicians academic papers.

With this in place employers can comfortably employ genuine people for the right positions.  Am curious to see how this system will be developed and deployed? Apparently employers will be given access to the portal just to cross check candidates papers.

Revolutionizing Agriculture: Precision Farming with Drones and Sensors

  Drones in Agricuture In the rapidly evolving world of agriculture, precision farming stands out as a groundbreaking approach that harnesses the power of technology to enhance productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. Among the most transformative tools in this field are drones and sensors, which are redefining traditional farming practices. This article delves into how these technologies are being integrated into modern agriculture, the benefits they offer, and the future they promise. The Rise of Precision Farming Precision farming, also known as precision agriculture, involves the use of technology to manage crops and soil in a more precise and controlled manner. The goal is to optimize field-level management regarding crop farming. Unlike conventional methods that rely on broad-spectrum approaches, precision farming tailors practices to the specific needs of different areas within a field. Drones: Eyes in the Sky Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become an i...

Early Detection of Brain Disorders: Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement

 Early Detection of Brain Disorders Using Wearable Devices Through Eye Movement Introduction In recent years, the integration of wearable technologies into healthcare has opened up exciting possibilities for early disease detection. Among these developments, wearable sensors that track eye movement have emerged as a promising tool in diagnosing brain disorders. Eye movement, which is closely linked to brain function, can offer vital clues in detecting neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, and other cognitive impairments. This research addresses a pressing question: Can subtle changes in eye movement patterns be reliably used to detect brain disorders before clinical symptoms become evident? With advancements in precision medicine and AI, the convergence of IT, biomedical engineering, and neuroscience is becoming not only possible but necessary. As a software engineer transitioning into bioinformatics, I see this as a pivotal opportunity to apply data sc...

Apple’s 2024 Keynote: New Calculator App for iPad and More!

 As a self-proclaimed non-Apple fanboy, I have to admit, Apple's latest keynote had a few surprises that even caught my attention. Among the usual fanfare of sleek designs and incremental updates, Apple dropped a few notable bombs, including the long-awaited launch of a native  Calculator app for the iPad. Yes, you read that right. The iPad finally has a calculator, and it’s bringing some extra features to the table like Math Notes and Apple Pencil support. Let’s dive into what went down at the keynote and why it might be worth paying attention, even if you’re not an Apple devotee. The Headline Act: Calculator App for iPad For years, iPad users have been scratching their heads wondering why Apple, in all its innovative glory, never included a basic calculator app on its tablets. Well, the wait is finally over. Apple has introduced a Calculator app that goes beyond mere arithmetic. The app includes Math Notes, which allows users to jot down notes and calculations side-by-side. ...
