In Kenya, those who receive educations are looked upon as intellectual saviors of the land. The ironic aspect of the education is that it is being handed down from British rule. Njoroge, the youngest of four brothers, wanted nothing more than to receive an education and provide for the welfare of his family. “O mother, I’ll never bring shame to you. Just let me get there, just let me.” (Ngugi 3) Due to the fact that Njoroge is at a so called “age of the innocence” he has the opportunity to get schooling. The brothers before him have already made their tracks in the roles they are going to take in life. Whether it be a life of war, craftsman or a life maintaining land all see the importance of education. Njoroge takes his education seriously and excels to the next level. It is the support from his family

…All white people stick together. But we black people are much divided. And because they stick together, they’ve imprisoned Jomo, the only hope we had. (Ngugi 75)

In the novel, Weep Not, Child by Ngugi Wa Thiong’o we witness how important education is. Njoroge’s dream was to get a full education, provide for his family and restore the lost land. He did well at fighting to make these dreams come true. He went beyond where many other Kenyans have gone. He excelled at school. He also loved his land, his family his home. He came left school, he let go of his dreams because as it was said, “None can forget home.” (Ngugi 41)
