Why Kenya Defence Forces recruits D+ over higher performed officers.

By considering recruits with a D+, the KDF ensures a balanced and well-rounded force capable of fulfilling various roles and responsibilities effectively.

  1. Diverse Skill Sets: The KDF needs personnel with a wide range of skills and aptitudes. Not all roles within the military require high academic qualifications; some may prioritize physical fitness, technical skills, or specific vocational abilities that are not necessarily reflected by academic grades.
  2. Training Capacity: The military has extensive training programs designed to equip recruits with the necessary skills and knowledge. Recruits with lower academic qualifications can still perform effectively after undergoing this training.
  3. Equal Opportunity: The KDF aims to provide equal employment opportunities to individuals from various educational backgrounds. This approach helps in promoting inclusivity and ensuring that individuals from all parts of the country have a chance to serve.
  4. Retention and Career Growth: Recruits with lower academic qualifications might be more likely to remain in the military for longer periods, whereas those with higher qualifications might seek opportunities elsewhere. This can help in maintaining a stable and committed workforce within the military.
  5. Economic and Social Considerations: In regions where educational resources are limited, a lower academic grade does not necessarily reflect a lack of potential. By recruiting individuals with lower grades, the KDF can tap into a broader pool of talent and support socio-economic upliftment.
  6. Role-Specific Requirements: Different roles within the KDF have different requirements. Some technical or specialized roles might not need high academic grades but rather specific vocational training or hands-on skills that can be developed through military training programs.

By considering recruits with a D+, the KDF ensures a balanced and well-rounded force capable of fulfilling various roles and responsibilities effectively.
