Every Kenyan has a right to education, a right that is enshrined in our constitution.

It is with this in mind that, in 2010, the Government committed to providing free primary education, as well as including persons with any sort of disability in education and training. Indeed, inclusive education could not be more important given that there are more than 1.3 million people in Kenya living with a disability.
