Putting People First
Basic Education
Overview: Education remains a fundamental pillar for the growth and development in
Kenya. Over the last decade, the country has made significant strides towards achieving
equity in education but significant challenges remain. The Kenyan public education
system is rife with inadequate facilities, insufficient and often poorly trained teachers,
poor infrastructure, inadequate teaching and learning materials, overcrowded
classrooms and poor results. Kenya has huge regional inequalities in education access
and outcomes, with children from rural, ASAL areas and lower-income populations
being the most affected. There is also a significant digital divide due to limited access
to ICT, electricity and internet connectivity.
Hakijamii aims under this strategic result area to contribute to universal access to quality basic education among supported communities.
Priority Issues: The priority concerns to be addressed under this strategic result area
inequitable education sector resourcing framework, inadequate education sector
resourcing, Competency-Based- Curriculum/ Competency-Based-Education reforms,
public participation and weakened education oversight systems40; and compromised
education services (quality, affordability, accessibility, integrity, etc.).
Expected Outcome: Improved access to and outcomes of basic education as a right.
