Kenya's Desire To Improve Public Education

Having worked with education in Kenya for the past ten years I have seen a great desire , on the part of Kenyan educators, to improve the current educational system. As with most public institutions it comes down to the amount of money available...never enough!

In 2012 a new framework for education was written in Kenya. It has many lofty goals but also has a realistic view of how difficult it is going to be to reach these goals. Please note I did not say impossible, just difficult.

My challenge to other organizations working in developing nations, such as Kenya, is to really think about how you invest the dollars entrusted to you. Is the money being spent in ways that will help Kenyans reach their goals or is it what you think is best?

We must always remember we are guests in Kenya. Our job is to provide tools that allow for an environment in which people can care for themselves and we go home.
