Educational inequality continues to limit the potential and opportunities available to many Kenyans, especially among disadvantaged populations. While primary education is compulsory and provided free by the government, and secondary education has received significant subsidies, many students from disadvantaged backgrounds still fail to transition successfully into secondary education.
Approximately 40% of students drop out during this critical phase due to financial or academic difficulties. Additionally, although higher education has become more accessible over recent decades, notable disparities remain in access to colleges and universities, perpetuating socioeconomic inequalities.
We recognise education as pivotal in opening opportunities for income growth, employment, and entrepreneurship. Through targeted interventions, we seek to bridge educational gaps and eliminate barriers faced by disadvantaged youth.
