dc.description.abstractThe formal education system in Kenya has generally not served the nomadic communities effectively over the nearly fifty years since independence. Educational indices of performance in the two counties revealed that the nomadic groups are at the bottom of the table in national statistics pertaining to enrolment rates, participation, classroom performance, gender balance, achievement, progression to the next level of education and by extension training. Despite the existing government plans intended to ensure access and equity of education provision in the country, issues of imbalance in enrolment, completion rates and academic achievement between children of pastoralist communities and the rest of the country have been and are still a subject of debate considering the huge disparities that exist to which many feel are not receiving the expected attention. National primary school statistics since independence to date, for example, reveal that children from the arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) regions of the country are most affected by under- enrolment and non completion of school.
