At 38, Evans Oloo defied the odds by enrolling as a priate candidate for the 2024 KCSE exams, alongside his son, Fabjames Omondi. Though he scored a mean grade of D (plain), his determination to chase his academic dreams has sparked inspiration far beyond the classroom.
Ogor attained a mean grade of D (plain), while his son excelled with a mean grade of B (plain) at Oriwo Boys High School. Ogor is said to have never attended any classes since he last sat for the Kenya Certificate of Primary School (KCPE) in the year 2000. His education was interrupted after the loss of his parents, which forced him into the welding trade to support his younger siblings. Now, driven by his dream of becoming a magistrate in order to advocate for justice in Homa Bay County, Ogor plans to resit the KCSE exams this year. His goal is to secure a university placement and pursue a law degree.
