The New Kenyan Constitution :
Chapter 4 article 53(b) of the constitution states that every child has a right to free and compulsory basic education.
The constitution says so, but will the shortage of educational infrastructure, funds and teaching staff allow Kenyans to attainment this dream?
Majority of slum children have no access to free primary education benefits because;
• There are no public schools in slums which are considered to be non-formal settlements by the government.
• The free education government programme does not cover community based schools, private schools or self help schools.
Why Millions of Children Are Out of School in Kenya :
1. Harsh economic conditions
2. Children sleep hungry especially in slums
3. Wide spread poverty in slums and in remote rural areas
4. Acute shortage of educational infrastructure
5. Congested classrooms due to increased enrollment
6. Shortage of trained teachers
7. Over worked and stressed teachers
8. School drop out due to unwanted early pregnancies, early marriages, child labor, and poverty
9. High level of unemployment in Kenya
10. The effects of HIV/AIDS
11. Tribal crashes every 5 years as a result of general elections in Kenya
