CHANG’ACH KOSKEY

ABSTRACT
Education reforms in less developed countries have aimed at making education an effective vehicle for national development. Governments’ policy makers and civil society have emphasized that such countries need to invest more in education and ensure that these systems of education are efficiently managed. The limited funds allocated to the sector should have maximum impact, and that the output and outcomes of these systems are satisfactory. This paper is motivated by the growing concern by various stake holders about the status of education in Kenya. It shows that, in spite of the major studies made in the school system, there are several factors behind the low efficiency in the system. Finally it enumerates a set of possibilities and prospects that may be explored to make the situation better. These recommendations are intended to improve efficiency and stake holders’ satisfaction.
