...Actualizing Free Primary Education in Kenya for Sustainable Development by Mbatha Mathooko, Ph.D. pmathooko@yahoo.com Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, Nairobi, Kenya Abstract The right to education is one of the basic human rights stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948. In Kenya, this right has recently been livened through the launch of the Free Primary Education program (hence FPE) by the newly elected NARC government. The FPE program is faced with major challenges that range from lack of facilities, few teachers, over-age children, street children, no books, lack of finances and socio-cultural impediments such as HIV-AIDs. The FPE has been received with mixed feelings from different sections of the society. While some have expressed feelings of discontentment, failure, betrayal among others, many low income members of the population view it as a God sent opportunity. While a lot of concern has been raised, little has been advanced concerning the propagation of the actual learning itself. This paper seeks to underscore some of the pertinent issues concerning actual instruction in the FPE program. A glaring gap, which poses a major challenge to the success of the FPE, exists in terms of the language of instruction. The existing language policy disregards mother tongues as tools of disseminating knowledge and does very little to promote them. The paper suggests the training of teachers to equip them with skills in mother tongue instruction...

Free Primary Education in Kenya

...Free primary education in Kenya. Objectives, timeframe and the extent in which it has achieved its objectives. The government policy on free primary education was effectively introduced in Kenya in the year 2003. During this time, the Narc government under the leadership of Mwai Kibaki abolished school fees in all public primary schools. This was the key campaign pledge from the president as well as other members from the party. Under the new free primary education policy, the government primary schools which were previously responsible for waiving tuition fees were officially prohibited from collecting revenues. Instead each school had to receive the government grant twice in a year which would be deposited directly into the school accounts administered by a committee of parents and teachers. Previous attempts by Kenyatta as well as Moi regime had also tried the same but failed (Bartoo, 2004). The development of offering free primary education was in line with the United universal primary education for all by 2015. The millennium development goals were adopted by the United Nations in September 2000 and expected to be effected in 198 countries, Kenya being one of them. The major objectives of the policy include; Reducing the inequality in education access in Kenya by 2005 - Inequality in education access has declined. However, enrolment rates for public schools have actually declined. As poor students come in, richer students have fled to private schools in greater or...

The missionaries set up the stepping stones which could later be used as a catapult in the education standard when they up one of the earliest mission schools in the country at Rabai in 1846 in coast region.

While economic and population growth are supporting Brazil’s emergence, it is critical that Brazil's education system is strong, so that its people have the opportunity to fully emerge and compete as a developed country. Currently, Brazil’s population is approximately 200,000 million, a number accumulated from its large cities and rural areas. In the capital city of Brasilia there are an estimated million people and another 10 million in the nation’s largest city of São Paulo. Areas where there are high populations it most likely to see improvements in educational standards. The bigger challenge rests in the rural areas of Brazil, where approximately 18 million poor people are without education, health care and employment opportunities.

Reflective Report

...U.K. The topic I chose for presentation is different types of schools for children. Though I try to highlight the different schools available for children, my prime focus is on primary education. Primary education is the foundation of a child’s development, both academically and socially. Thus, it is really important that a child is given proper primary education, without any impediment. After a lot of speculation and consultation I chose to write this essay because while explaining the different types of schools and levels of education in U.K. and showing how the primary level prepares the child for future studies, it also indulges in the merits and demerits of selective education in the lives of students. For this purpose of writing on primary education, I searched a lot of websites and newspaper articles. There were some sites on the grammar schools and some on comprehensive education, while other sites had almost all the information I wanted to cover in this journal. There were also some reliable magazines and newspaper articles which helped me complete this work. Primary education in U.K. is the first level of compulsory education for child. The children are put under the primary education at the age of five and they generally pass out of this level at the age of eleven. Primary education usually comes after the children have completed their basic academic level, i.e. the nursery level or the pre-school level. The children remain in their nursery level from two to four...
