- Summary:
-
As in most developing countries, education in Kenya is reported to have developed through three broad, overlapping phases: traditional, missionary, and governmental as influenced by the country's geography, climate, population growth, economy, and striving for independence. In the process, long-range educational goals have evolved: 1) to provide universal primary education; 2) to ensure enough places at the secondary and higher levels for educating those with recognized abilities; and, 3) to organize the educational system for meeting the country's manpower needs, thus stressing expenditures in education as an investment in the Nation's economic development. The structure and administration, finance and government aid, curriculum and examination elements of this formal system are discussed along with educational programs outside the system including youth programs, adult education, professional development programs, and conservation education. Two highlights of the report are: 1) a description of the establishment and development of community self-help or Harambee schools; and, 2) a description of the 1970-74 Development Plan giving rural development top priority and setting a goal for making the secondary school curriculum more relevant to the country's social and economic needs. Curriculum excerpts, a schedule, and selected references are appended; thirteen tables of statistical data on enrollments and expenditures are also included. (Author/SBE)
