The Pillars of Kenyan Sectoral Reforms

The revolutionary world has depended on education since the beginning of time. Education, as a key to all the developmental and advancing changes in the world, has as well taken a different dimension. Sir K. Robinson gave the speech in Youtube video updated on October 14th, 2010 in which RSAnimate video “Changing Paradigm”. Throughout his speech, he showed the world that to remain stable and sustainable, people must get the right education that will allow them to make the right decisions concerning the primary elements in the global settings. In his connection to his audience, he had given clear evidence of changing paradigms concerning the issues of education.

By the beginning of the second Millennium, many countries realized the need and necessity to cope up with the rest of the rapidly developing world. As they realized this necessity, they also realized that the key to growth and development is, indeed, education. As a result, many countries around the world entered the heated race of reforming their education systems hoping that this would ensure them a foothold in the modern world.

Many people think of the big picture - but only that. They dream of a grandiose fantasy where change takes place globally and all at once. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Significant change begins on a local level and can take years of development. However, with continued support, these changes, such as the United Nations's Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, can grow to monumental proportions that are integral to our future survival. Developments in quality of education, gender equality, renewable energy, and climate change reversal all lead to this ideal future that we all aim to achieve - a future that is bright, just, and sparkling.

The world is working to make education easier to obtain for less fortunate children. Now, because of this, more children are going to school than ever before. The governments of countries like Benin, India, Afghanistan, Brazil, Kenya, and many other nations are working to make that rate even higher. People who want to be something can finally pursue their ambitions. And hopefully, they

The state of education in Sub-Saharan Africa is in crisis. UNICEF (2013) research has shown that 40 million children in Africa currently do not attend school. The enrollment figures indicate that there are fewer educational opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa than in the five countries in the northern part of the continent. More than 100 million children of primary school age do not attend school worldwide, of which a vast majority of these children are in sub-Saharan Africa (UNICEF, 2013). However, the research also shows that even if these children could attend school, the existing schools are not equipped to provide for them (Samhoff, 2003). Rampant poverty, economic turmoil, and disease have taken over the sub-Saharan countries.

The first pillar is the economic society and how it benefits the overall society for the common good of all the citizens of Costa Rica. The second pillar is about the environmental society and how we must protect the environment to protect ourselves and the future of our society. The third pillar is about the social sustainability development of the country and the impact of

According to the Education sector Strategic Plan 2002-2015 the main policy in Basic Education sub-sector is Education for all “Ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belong to ethnic minorities, have access to and complete compulsory primary education of good quality. Policies are simply guidelines by which the government shall achieve their goals or objectives basing itself from the foundation of the philosophy of basic education – Education for all Basotho and the provision of sufficient numbers of people with appropriate qualifications, technical and managerial skills to ensure the development of the modern sector of the economy.

Despite the changing times, education remains a cornerstone for society . Technology advances, the economy fluctuates, and politics change, but education remains something seen as, not only important but imperative for personal and social growth. Yet, as important as it is touted to be, the quality and purpose of learning is often lost in the assembly-line, manufactured process of education that exists today.

Kenya has often had changes with their government, which is due to the ethnic population from past English colonization and Arabian traders. More recently, Kenya has become the regions geopolitical hub, with the most stable government of the past African colonies. Its political geography is spread into three different time periods. They were known as the late colonial times, the post independent struggle and the two decade struggle Although it has been a long and violent path to come to this, it was well worth it by becoming known as the “anchor of East Africa”.

Faculty of Education, University of the Western Cape, Bellville, South Africa This paper identifies, examines and discusses higher education funding policy shifts that have taken place in Kenya. The paper argues that even though Kenya’s higher education funding policy shifts, from free higher education to cost-sharing, and privatisation and commercialisation, are (to a greater extent) products of the country’s encounter with globalisation, local social, political and economic dynamics have been of equally significant influence. Thus, the country’s higher

Our education should be of good quality. Primary education in particular should be excellent; for this is the only formal education that most Tanzanians are likely to receive. At present the quality of our primary school education is appalling. We must do something about it, as a matter of national agency.” – Julius Nyerere (1998)

Lack of skills, education, jobs, and financial support are the main concerns the Tanzanian youth has.

Economic realignment, evolution of technology, changing demographic trends and new ways of living and working are radically altering how education providers operate. These trends may be gradual but they are also powerful trajectories of change that have the potential to thrust education institutions, companies, governments and societies into freefall. The change heralded by these megatrends lies beyond our direct control but not beyond our influence. By getting a picture of how the world is changing and what these megatrends are, we can alter our destiny and remain viable and thrive in the future. Not only can we understand our market threats, but more importantly we can identify business opportunities and it is those institutions that recognise global trends and plan for a changing world that will be the market leaders of the future.
