By Standard Reporter

A new paper released by the Education For All Global Monitoring Report (EFA GMR) at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) reveals that improving Kenya’s tax system and modestly increasing the share of the Government’s budget allocated to education could raise over $700 million (Sh60.9b) more for education and allow for spending per primary school aged child to increase by $57 (Sh4,959).
