dc.description.abstract | The secondary school segment in the
education cycle of Kenya is important for
three major reasons:
It de-links one from elementary primary
learning,
It provides a chance for one to complete
the cycle for basic education,
It anchors as the springboard to either
tertiary or higher learning.Despite many policies and strategies developed to
enhance a smooth transition rate in school there are
still some students who withdraw from school
prematurely.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26,
for instance states categorically that every one has the
right to education (UNESCO, 1998).
To achieve this, the Kenya government laid down
policies and allocated money in the National budget to
provision of education to her people (MOEST, 2005). | en_US |
