Abstract:
In 2000, the international community promised to provide every child with a primary education by 2015. Unfortunately this goal hasn’t been met. In Kenya, significant progress has been made toward expanding access to both primary and secondary education. These gains, however, have not been accompanied by a reduction in inequality or an improvement in the quality of learning. This paper examines the current status of education in Kenya, including the dynamics of access, equity and quality, and provides examples of on-going interventions that seek to address some of these challenges.
