The education system in Kenya is the worst in East Africa. No wonder many people on JF from the Kenyan side have a low thinking capacity. How dare can you steal exams and go ahead to abuse and say to your Education Minister that you stole exams😂😂😂👇👇👇👇

  • A Kenyan child is likely to have nearly 11 years of education under their belt by the time they turn 18, which is higher than the sub-Saharan Africa average of 8.1 years and just short of the global average of 11.2 years.
  • The World Bank Human Capital Index places Kenya in third place in Africa closely trailing Seychelles and Mauritius.
Kenyan school children have a higher chance of accessing education and completing schools compared to all her peers in the region including trouncing Africa’s two largest economies Nigeria and South Africa.
A Kenyan child is likely to have nearly 11 years of education under their belt by the time they turn 18, which is higher than the sub-Saharan Africa average of 8.1 years and just short of the global average of 11.2 years, according to a new World Bank index measuring the productivity potential of the youth.
The World Bank Human Capital Index released on Friday places Kenya in third place in Africa closely trailing Seychelles and Mauritius, based on parameters such as expected years of school and harmonised test scores.
“In Kenya, a child who starts school at age four can expect to complete 10.7 years of school by her 18th birthday,” says the World Bank in the report.

The impressive score is courtesy to the free universal primary education programme which was introduced by former president Mwai Kibaki in 2003 and saw more than one million children join school where many of them had previously been locked out due to lack of fees.
“Students in Kenya score 455 on a scale where 625 represents advanced attainment and 300 represents minimum attainment…the index quantifies the contribution of health and education to the productivity of the next generation of workers. Countries can use it to assess how much income they are foregoing because of human capital gaps,”
Education too has always accounted for the largest share of the country’s national budget and in the 2018/19 national budget, education received the largest share of the Sh3 trillion national budget.

The government also started subsidising secondary education at the beginning of this year, removing the Sh9,374 school fees previously charged students in day public secondary schools in a move meant to improve the transition rate from primary school.
Learners in boarding schools also receive a similar subsidy towards their school fees.
Nigeria and South Africa managed a score of 0.41 and 0.34 on the index respectively, with their children getting 9.3 years and 8.2 years’ worth of education before they hit adulthood.

The survey also assessed the probability of a child’s survival to age five, adult survival rate and healthy growth which Kenya scored 0.52, against a sub-Sahara Africa average of 0.41 against a maximum score of 1.0.
The probability of survival to five years for a Kenyan child stands at 0.95, slightly higher than the Africa average of 0.93.
Internationally, the highest scorer globally was Singapore at 0.88 on the overall index and 1.0 on the probability of survival, meaning that all children born in the Asian country can expect to live to the age of five.

Tanzania's population is becoming more illiterate

Dar es Salaam- Tanzania (PANA) -- The state of illiteracy in Tanzania is alarming.
While in many countries illiteracy has been decreasing over the years, in Tanzania the opposite has been the situation.
There are more illiterates in the country now than was the case in the 1970s and early 1980s.
At that time, about 80 percent of adult Tanzanians knew how to read and write, thanks for a special campaign in adult literacy education.
The Universal Primary school education programme also, at least initially, enabled every school going children to attend primary school.
Now, however, the situation has changed.
Adult education programmes lack the impetus they used to have previously as the focus now is on upgrading professionals and secondary school leavers to attain university education.
As a result, adults who did not get the chance to attend school have remained illiterate.
The Universal Primary Education programme, too, has died a natural death as enrolment could not match with the existing capacity of infrastructure.
Old buildings could no longer accommodate the increasing number of pupils, who lack desks, textbooks and new classrooms.
Worse still, in a bid to get more teachers, those who failed or performed very poorly in secondary school education and in some instance even those who failed in primary schools, were recruited as primary school teachers without undergoing any training.
At the end of the day Tanzania had teachers who taught what they did not know, with the result that the majority of primary school leavers, especially in the rural areas, completed their education as illiterates.
The rate of illiteracy increased and now stands at less than 60 percent.
According to available statistics from UNICEF, there are about three million children in the country who are unable to attend school for a number of reasons.
Earlier this year, President Benjamin Mkapa said no serious development would occur in Tanzania as the world entered the new century unless there was meaningful investment on human development, the country's greatest asset and resource.
Not all children in Tanzania have access to primary schools.
At the same time, Tanzania has the lowest rate of secondary school enrolment in the world.
However, the government has been encouraging citizens to build secondary schools through self-help efforts since 1986.
Recently, the government announced that major plans were under way to review the distribution of public secondary schools in the country in a bid to bridge a widening knowledge gap between one region and another.
This is because a survey on the distribution of secondary schools in the country revealed huge disparities in the levels of education between regions.
For instance, Same District in Kilimanjaro Region alone has 19 secondary schools while Lindi Rural District has only two.
While efforts to substantially increase school enrolment were successful in the 1970s and 1980s, the quality of education decreased dramatically in the past decade.
