  • Modalities of Constituency Bursary Fund Allocation & Their Effect On
    Journal of Administrative Sciences and Policy Studies, Vol. 1 No. 1, December 2013 49 Modalities of Constituency Bursary Fund Allocation & Their Effect on Access and Retention in Nairobi County Saina Shadrack Kiprotich1 Introduction 1.1 Background to the Study The provision of quality education in Kenyan has been a central policy issue since we attained independence. This has been due to governments’ commitment to provision of quality education and training as a basic human right for all Kenyans in accordance with the new constitution and the international conventions. Secondary education policies have evolved over time with the Government addressing challenges facing education sector through several commissions, committees and task forces. Immediately after independence, the first commission chaired by Ominde, in 1964 sought to reform the education system inherited from the colonial government to make it more responsive to the needs of the country. The Report of The presidential Working Party on the Second University chaired by Mackey, led to the replacement of A- Level secondary education with the current 8-4-4 education system (GOK, 1964; 1981 & 2005 and IPAR, 2008). In the recent past, Kenya’s education sector has undergone accelerated reforms in order to address the overall goals of economic recovery strategy for Employment and wealth creation 2003- 2007 (ERS) as well as meeting the international development commitments, including the millennium development Goals (MDGs) and Education for ALL (EFA). The major reforms include: launch and implementation of the Free Primary Education (FPE) in January 2003, development of the Sessional paper No. 1 of 2005 on policy framework, which advocate that the government is already implementing measures on how to improve access and retention in secondary education and introduction of Free Day Secondary Education in January 2008.
