Significant progress have been made to expand access to education in Kenya and improve learning. Still persistent challenges remain – like regional and gender disparities and inequitable access to learning – which demand transformative solutions.
GPE is helping the government and its partners to prioritize equitable solutions to improving learning outcomes. Working with GPE and other partners, Kenya will boost the quality of teaching, learning and pre-primary education with attention to enhancing equity, access and inclusion and achieving gender parity.
This will be done through better curriculum support materials, more robust use of technology to help implement competency-based curriculums and assessment, and school-based teacher development.
Steps to increase access to learning also include providing meals and improving water, sanitation and hygiene as well as learning environments.
