Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews the evolution of the Kenyan education system since independence from Britain in 1963. At the time of independence, very few resources were devoted to the education of Africans vis a vis non-Africans, resulting in critical shortages of trained manpower. Educational segregation and differentiation also reinforced racial and ethnic prejudices. After independence, education was to be a significant tool not only for social justice and rapid development, but also for promotion of unity and "nationhood." This report outlines the institutional and legal steps that were taken to improve the educational system and traces its development through four five-year plans. In the space of twenty years : 1) the system has expanded dramatically and universal free primary education has been achieved; 2) the progression of the system has been restructured; and 3) the curriculum has been significantly revised - placing more emphasis on the technical and vocational skills which remain in high demand. However, educational development in the post-colonial period has been hampered by : a) insufficient resources due to poor economic conditions; b) a high rate of population growth; c) teacher shortages; d) the need to balance native language with foreign language instruction; e) poor internal efficiency; and f) continued problems with curriculum relevance.

Book Synopsis Implementing Deeper Learning and 21st Century Education Reforms by : Fernando M. Reimers
Download or read book Implementing Deeper Learning and 21st Century Education Reforms written by Fernando M. Reimers and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is a comparative analysis of recent large scale education reforms that broadened curriculum goals to better prepare students for the 21st century. The book examines what governments actually do when they broaden curriculum goals, with attention to the details of implementation. To this end, the book examines system level reforms in six countries at various levels of development. The study includes system level reforms in jurisdictions where students achieve high levels in international assessments of basic literacies, such as Singapore and Ontario, Canada, as well as in nations where students achieve much lower levels, such as Kenya, Mexico, Punjab-Pakistan and Zimbabwe. The chapters examine system-level reforms that focus on strengthening the capacity to teach the basics, as in Ontario and Pakistan, as well as reforms that aim at building the capacity to teach a much broader set of competencies and skills, such as Kenya, Mexico, Singapore and Zimbabwe. The volume includes systems at very different levels of spending per student and reforms at various points in the cycle of policy implementation, some just starting, some struggling to survive a governmental transition, and others that have been in place for an extended period of time. From the comparative study of these reforms, we aim to provide an understanding of how to build the capacity of education systems to teach 21st century skills at scale in diverse settings.

Book Synopsis Research and Evaluation for Educational Development by : Michael Crossley
Download or read book Research and Evaluation for Educational Development written by Michael Crossley and published by Symposium Books Ltd. This book was released on 2005-05-16 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a reflective and historically situated analysis of the Kenyan Primary School Management Project (PRISM). This is carried out in the light of a broader international review of the theoretical and methodological literature relating to the role, and potential, of research and evaluation in the process of educational development. The case study of PRISM pays particular attention to the part played by collaborative and participatory research and evaluation in project development and implementation. The book is designed to be read on two main levels. Firstly, it provides a detailed, critical and empirically informed record of the Kenyan PRISM initiative. Secondly, the broader analysis explores implications for changing modalities of international development co-operation; for research and evaluation capacity building; for methodological and theoretical dimensions of development processes; and for the importance of comparative insights in understanding the processes and dilemmas of the international transfer of theories, policies and practices.

Book Synopsis Implementing Educational Policies in Lesotho by : T. Sohl Thelejani
Download or read book Implementing Educational Policies in Lesotho written by T. Sohl Thelejani and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1990 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Lesotho became independent (1966), education was inadequate in scope, quantity and quality. After independence, the role of education was seen to be the production of two kinds of indigenous manpower -- administrators to run the civil service and scientists and technicians. With the help of outside experts, educational policies were developed and codified in a series of three Five-Year Development Plans. This paper reviews the progress of educational development according to the development plans and evaluates their implementation. Some programs have been successfully implemented, including those for book supply, classroom building, non-formal education, the establishment of educational associations, and the replacement of small church-run teacher training colleges by a national college. The country experienced a steady increase in the number of students and schools. However, the "push out" rate is so high that only 14 percent of primary school entrants continue on to secondary school. Other problems include non-attainment of the goal of universal primary education, an apparent decline in educational quality, teacher shortages, insufficient training in the English language, lack of employment opportunities even for graduates, and practical studies that are not relevant to rural economic activities.
Book Synopsis Why Educational Policies Can Fail by : George Psacharopoulos
Download or read book Why Educational Policies Can Fail written by George Psacharopoulos and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper reviews a number of educational policy statements in east African countries on issues ranging from combining education with production at the primary level to the financing of higher education. An assessment is made as to how successful the policies have been in achieving their original intention. The paper's conclusion is that policy outcomes fall far short of matching expectations, mainly because of insufficient, or the absence of, implementation. Most educational policies are not implemented because they are vaguely stated and the financing implications are not always worked out. Another common reason for failure is that the content of a policy is based on an empirically unsustained theoretical relationship between instruments and outcomes. The paper makes a plea for the formulation of more concrete, feasible and implementable policies based on documented cause-effect relationships.

Book Synopsis Implementing Educational Policies in Ethiopia by : Fassil R. Kiros
Download or read book Implementing Educational Policies in Ethiopia written by Fassil R. Kiros and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1990 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes in detail the historical roots of the modern Ethiopian educational system. Ethiopia began a program of modernization and development upon liberation in 1941. By 1961 the country's educational accomplishments were found to be quite low when compared with other African countries, most of whom were not yet or just barely independent themselves. Some gains were made in the education sector through the implementation of a series of five-year development plans. Since 1974, Ethiopia has been undergoing a process of revolutionary change, including a quantitative and qualitative expansion of education at all levels, including basic literacy. However, the education system has expanded faster than the rest of the economy, creating problems of educational quality, wastage and inefficiency, poor working conditions of teachers, educated unemployment, and the need for continuing reorganization. The report describes the role of education as envisioned in the Government's Ten Year Perspective Plan (1984-94) and argues that problems remain today not because education has been neglected, but because much greater emphasis has been placed on its expansion.
Book Synopsis Implementing Educational Policies in Uganda by : Cooper F. Odaet
Download or read book Implementing Educational Policies in Uganda written by Cooper F. Odaet and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1990 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of independence from Britain in 1962, education in Uganda was more advanced than in neighboring countries, although still unsatisfactory. This paper reviews the recommendations of commissions, educational reviews, and five-year plans for the development of educational policies since independence. There have been two main long-term government objectives -- primary school expansion toward the goal of universal primary education, and the provision of sufficient manpower of the quality needed to meet the skill requirements of the economy. The implementation of these goals was severely hampered by the events of the 1970s, which were a decade of "total national calamity" that affected all sectors of the economy, including the education system. The Recovery Program of 1982/84 was adopted to reconstruct and rehabilitate the educational infrastructure. The report reviews the present-day status of education in Uganda with regard to internal and external efficiency, equity, and non-quantitative criteria such as national policy and Ugandanization. It finds four remaining major problem areas : a) continued illiteracy; b) high dropout rates at almost all levels; c) unqualified teachers along with a shortage of qualified ones; and d) a widening gap between educational preparation and actual employment opportunities.
Book Synopsis Implementing Educational Policies in Zambia by : Paul Pius Waw Achola
Download or read book Implementing Educational Policies in Zambia written by Paul Pius Waw Achola and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1990 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of independence from Britain in 1964, the educational system in Zambia was, as elsewhere in Africa, racially segregated and heavily biased against Africans. This paper briefly reviews the situation at independence before enumerating post-independence educational policy landmarks through both acts of Parliament and national development plans and related documents. It discusses successes and failures in program implementation as evidenced by internal and external efficiency criteria. Particularly the primary school system has expanded substantially, although there exists little data about internal efficiency. Nevertheless, the young and growing population continues to put pressure on the system -- a doubling of primary school places by the year 2000 would be necessary simply to maintain the present gross enrollment rates. High rates of unemployment, especially after completion of primary and secondary school, point to poor external efficiency. Other factors contributing to problems with the successful implementation of educational policies have been a poor economy, inadequate supply of teachers above the primary level, problems with curriculum relevance, and an entrenched debate about the merits of English language versus native language teaching.
Book Synopsis Inclusive Education Policy in Kenya by : Silas Onyango

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a work project in special education. The project is all about challenges facing the implementation of inclusive education policy in Rarieda sub-county in Siaya Kenya. The Kenyan government has been formulating very good policies on inclusive education but their implementation has not been forth coming. The purpose of this work was therefore to determine some possible factors that hinders the implementation of such policies and what can be done to respond to such challenges. The key respondents were head teachers of public primary schools who I believed were in a better position to understand such challenges. the main data collection instruments was interviews and the approach was purely qualitative. Results indicated that stigmatization and attitude, lack of training to key stakeholders, lack of enough resources, curriculum and policy issues are some of the challenges facing the implementation of inclusive education policy.
Book Synopsis Implementing Educational Policies in Zimbabwe by : Obert E. Maravanyika
Download or read book Implementing Educational Policies in Zimbabwe written by Obert E. Maravanyika and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1990 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zimbabwe has been independent only since 1980. It has, however, attempted to change significantly the inherited educational policies, which it considers to be inappropriate to the nation's adopted socialist ideology. This paper outlines and critically appraises Zimbabwe's educational policies and finds that post-independence educational policy formulation has been influenced not only by ideological goals of national policy, but equally strongly by the inherited colonial capitalist infrastructure. A thorough review of the main factors influencing policy formulation in the colonial period helps explain why the transformation in educational policies has been more quantitative than qualitative since 1980, the emphasis on socialist development notwithstanding. Additional factors which have hindered substantial qualitative change have been the short time period since independence and shortages of both human and material resources. A particular problem is the preference of students and parents for a traditional, academic education of the sort often denied Blacks under colonial rule over the new, more practical and vocational curriculum. In conclusion, the paper reviews the implications of the dichotomy between pre- and post-independence social, economic, political, and educational goals for the specific areas of private schools, teacher education, curricula, and examinations.
