Boy child on the verge of despair

Over the years, there has been goodwill and persistence on raising awareness for girl’s retention in school. This endeavour has so far been bearing fruits but in the retrospect, the same society has turned a blind eye to the plight of the boy-child.

Contrary to the long standing notion in the society, extensive analysis by World Bank indicates that Kenyan Boy-child is at a higher risk of dropping out of school than girls. Indeed in the recent past, this hypothesis has been actualized.
