Abstract:

This study aims to understand the role of private secondary schools in rural Kenya under the Free Secondary Education Policy. Data were collected from four private schools over two months in 2018 and 2019. All the schools had experienced instability due to low enrolment, particularly after the policy was implemented in 2018. The decline in the schools’ income also affected the quality of education. However, the results suggest that some students prefer to complete their education at private schools as low-expense-boarders or as beneficiaries of fee discounts. Other students choose private scho

Abstract:

Public secondary schools in Kenya are expected to implement guidance and counseling policy as directed by the Ministry of Education. However, guidance and counselling policy is not supported by a framework for implementation that takes into account the contextual realities of basic education in Kenya. This study sought to contribute to knowledge by originating and testing a tripartite framework of guidance and counseling for application in secondary schools in Kenya. The main objective of the study was to investigate the influence of tripartite framework of guidance and counseling in the outco

Abstract:

In Kenya, education receives the largest share of recurrent, public sector expenditure, 40%, which is aimed not only at expanding the capacity of learning, but also to ensure that efficiency of educational investments is increased. Quality should be maintained, so that the country’s needs for economic, social and technological development is achieved. Despite this expenditure on education by the government, generally schools in Migori Sub County perform poorly, with below average mean score of less than 6.0 (C), meaning that there is a lot of educational wastage.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis that has gripped the world, causing governments and development agencies to search for critical measures to protect their people. The situation not only represents a significant health risk but has resulted in school closures that have disrupted agricultural education. This impedes the attainment of Africa’s larger food security and rural transformation agendas. Six months before the advent of the pandemic, the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture initiated a pilot project, Start Them Early Program (STEP) whose goal is to reinforce pathways to caree

Abstract:

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that individuals of all ages participate in regular physical activity (PA) for optimal health and to support with the control of multiple non-communicable diseases. In Kenya however, involvement in PA across the general population is low and there is an increase in sedentary lifestyles in both rural and urban areas. An inverse relationship exists between socioeconomic status and involvement in PA. The novel COVID-19 ushered in associated control measures to limit the spread of the virus. These measures included staying at home, social distancing,

Abstract:

Subsidization of the public secondary school education by the government of Kenya in 2008 witnessed a tremendous growth in the student population at this level of education. This scenario led to an over enrollment and a strain on the existing learning facilities and infrastructure in most public secondary schools in Kenya, including those in Bungoma County . Under these circumstances, the question that remained unanswered was ; what was the effect of the subsidized secondary education policy (SSEP) on the student pass rates in the Kenya certificate of secondary education (KCSE) in the public s
