The Government of Kenya is committed to ensuring that no child is left behind in terms of access to education. Articles 43(f) and 53(1) (b) of the Kenyan Constitution provide for the right to education and the right to free and compulsory basic education, respectively. The Basic Education Act (2013) guarantees the right of every child to free and compulsory basic education. The government is also committed to implementing international and regional commitments related to education, such as the Education for All (EFA) goals and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), among others. In order to honor the above commitments, the Ministry of Education is committed to providing and promoting competence based and equitable learner centered education, training and research for sustainable development. It is important to note that the Government of Kenya continues to invest heavily in the education sector, committing about 5.4% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to the sector.
