Kenyan Catholic Bishop Urges Students Preparing for National Exams to Build Good Character

In brief

Bishop Mark Kadima Wamukoya of the Catholic Diocese of Bungoma told students to develop discipline, patience, and good character as they prepare for national examinations. During a prayer day for Muanda Catholic Schools held on September 16 at Cardinal Maurice Otunga Muanda Parish, the bishop told students from seven schools that education must prepare them for life rather than just academic success.

Bishop Kadima said that succeeding in life requires being a loving person with good character. He advised students to use their time wisely and avoid distractions, noting that lost time cannot be recovered. He encouraged the students to focus on their studies and pass their exams instead of wasting time complaining or focusing on starting families while still in school.
