Kenya's Education Crisis: A Self-Perpetuating Cycle of Failure?

Kenya's Education System: A Cycle of Failure? Kenya's education system is facing a crisis, according to Dr. Emmanuel Manyasa, Executive Director of Usawa Agenda. In a recent interview on Spice FM's The Situation Room, Manyasa argued that current approaches are largely ineffective and create a self-perpetuating cycle of problems. "We are trying to do many things to improve education...but we’re getting almost all of them wrong," he stated. Manyasa highlighted the impact on future generations, noting that even if graduates become doctors, the quality of their education will determine the kind of doctors they will be. He emphasized the long-term societal costs of neglecting educational reform. The interview sparked discussion about the need for significant changes within Kenya's education sector to address these long-standing challenges. Manyasa's insightful commentary provides a starting point for crucial conversations about the future of education in Kenya and the need for systemic improvements.
