The government is the custodian and manager of Kenya’s public education system. It has the power and resources to determine policy, make decisions and implement them. It can also change or reverse any of its policies.
The policies and decisions of the government in education and their implementation should be transparent and accountable. To be accountable means that at the very least, the decisions are fair and reasonable. These are ingredients of good governance anywhere in the world. They are also national values and principles of good governance under Article 10 of the Constitution.
