But at the university level, the shift is pronounced. Entrance to the likes of Oxford and Cambridge Universities is perceived as arcane and complicated, while the Ivy League schools actively recruit Kenya's best and brightest on full scholarships. The result has been a new centre of gravity among opinion leaders and trend-setters who look to America for everything from accents to music

This is about the sixth thread that I've made the same reply too, all decent journalists are on holiday. Therefore anything in the news is being produced by interns and those not important enough to be granted leave at peak season.

Coming from someone who has spent most of the afternoon pointlessly arguing about a subject he knows nothing about and violently insulting other members of this community who dare disagree with him, this is the funniest thing I've read all week.
