Involve private actors in education to bolster access in marginalised areas

Over the years, successive Kenyan governments have introduced policies aimed at confronting illiteracy levels in the country. One of the policy actions include introducing free and compulsory basic education at primary school level and subsidising secondary education.

Much has been achieved through such programmes, but Kenya still faces challenge of increasing access to and improving quality of education. Despite considerable progress in lifting enrollments at the primary education level, the risk of not achieving inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all as per the Strategic Development Goals (SDGs), still remains.
