From being a school dropout to Forbes magazine listing PaanLuel Wël 11 years ago Two years after dropping out of Friends School, Mwale won the prestigious IB Inaugural Scholarship to the International School of Kenya, but later that year, he had to terminate the programme to join ALA. ALA has a unique curriculum through which it aims to raise the next generation of African leaders. But he soon dropped out. “The only certificate I have is my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). Sometimes I sit down and think. I employ graduates who design software. It is not that I don’t have the education, but it is only that I don’t have the papers,” Mwale said “No one asks me if I have papers. I have met Presidents Obama and Clinton, and no one asked whether I have the papers. “I dropped out of ALA last year. It is a two-year programme. I stayed there for one year and I figured that if I was going to stay there for another year, it was not going to change anything.” Early this year, Mwale was recognised by Forbes magazine for being among the top 30 under 30 young entrepreneurs in Africa. He hopes that his success will inspire others to act upon their ideas. “I think there are many more youths who are sitting on their potential,” he said. “But the most important thing is that for Africa to realise its goals … the youth and everyone else will need to embrace the true spirit of entrepreneurship. Only then can young people influence thousands of lives.” Share this:Print Why Mr honorable minister of General education should resignDateMarch 10, 2018In relation toJunub SudanWhy Mr. honorable minister of General education should resignDateFebruary 14, 2018In relation toJunub SudanKenya Replaces 8 – 4 – 4 System with 2-6-6-3 Competence Based curriculum (CBC)DateJanuary 12, 2019In relation toEducation
