Universal Education
The government has more or less attained its objective of sending all Standard Eight leavers to secondary school.
Statistics released last week indicated that more than a million learners have joined Form One. This is no mean feat.
For years, the country has grappled with huge wastage in the school system as thousands of Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) graduates perennially failed to progress to secondary school due to lack of places as well as crippling poverty.
The 100 per cent transition policy has significantly enhanced enrolment and put universal basic education — internationally recognised as at least 12 years of schooling — within reach.
All international charters, like Education for All (EFA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), commit nations to do that.
Henceforth, the discourse should shift from access to equity and quality. Equity means that all learners, boys and girls, and all regions should have access to primary and secondary education. And it must be quality education.
