Some schools plan to have two sports days, one for lower grades and the other for upper grades, whilst others choose to have it on the same day but in different categories of ages.

Read the passage below and answer questions 9 - 12.

It is so unfortunate that Africans have lost most of the cultures they cherished for many years through a relentless process of cultural erosion. Findings indicate cultural erosion manifests as loss of dignity and dented humanity; African perceptions and misconceptions that things and practices from the west are superior to those from Africa; Africans belittling and lowering their cultures to take second-rate position; trend of some Africans to view their identity through western world lenses. However, some of African communities have started efforts to bring around and strengthen African cultures: Restoration of the cultural rites of passage of the community members; and concerted campaign of fight against practices that do not go well with the African culture. Lately the debate on same gender marriage has been in the headlines of most newsprint and media houses.

Religious leaders have been in the front line in this fight. The west has however not taken this lying down. We have seen concerted effort to fight back through NGOS and tying western aids to the agenda

Read the passage below and answer questions 13-15.

For you to make an informed career choice, you need to know about a number of things; yourself (self-knowledge); education and training opportunities. People are different and look for different things in jobs. Some people are artistic and creative in nature and therefore thrive in environments that encourage creativity. These people tend to feel limited by rules and do not like routine for example, graphic designers. Others prefer an environment with clear expectations and rules. You must know your values and interests: Values are things that are important to you and mostly influenced by family, community, religion and school. Some people enjoy careers that give them the opportunity to lead or guide whilst others prefer careers that allow them to work independently.

Interests are those things that you enjoy and like doing. An individual who likes working with money and balancing books could consider a career in accounting whilst someone who enjoys working with their hands and machines could consider a career in engineering or surgery.

Abilities are things you are able to do or qualities you possess naturally which distinguish you and allow you to do certain things that not all individuals can do. An example of ability is being able to create beautiful artwork.

Now that you have explored your interests and the type of career you are interested in, you need to know what type of training and learning you will need to enable you to enter into that career.
