This book was released on 2011 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a contribution towards exploring alternative but sustainable education policies for pastoralist societies and sets out to explore how pastoralist IKSs (Indigenous Knowledge Systems) can be integrated or used as an entry point to provide formal schooling to pastoralist communities in Kenya. Pastoralists constitute the majority of the socially and economically vulnerable groups in the country. Children, among pastoralist communities, face detrimental hardships that compromise their growth and development. One of these hardships is the imposition of an education and development paradigm that is irrelevant to their existence and which compounds their problems. This study therefore sought to explore how, through better government policies, the indigenous knowledge (IK) of pastoralists could be integrated into the curriculum of formal schooling. Specifically, the study discusses the following issues: Gaps in policies for schooling provision for pastoralist groups, with particular reference to the content of the curriculum and methods of delivery; Aspects of pastoralist IKS that can be integrated into the context of national education policy to enrich their schooling within; and General recommendations regarding the use of participatory and social engineering approaches in designing education and development policies affecting pastoralist communities in Kenya.

This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The declaration on education as a basic human right was articulated in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of the Human Rights (UDHR) by the United Nations in 1948. Through this declaration UDHR proclaimed free and compulsory primary education, which led to the establishment of Education For All (EFA), being a global goal. Being a fundamental right free primary education fights against illiteracy, ignorance and diseases. Kenya has been committed to the pursuit of the EFA goal through the introduction of Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Free Primary Education (FPE) since the 1970s. Kenya introduced FPE in two phases, which is in the year 1974; and in the year 2003. In both phases school fees in all public primary schools was abolished. This has led to increased access to primary education resulting to increase in enrolment to 8.3 million children by 2007.The success of implementing UPE and FPE initiatives was rooted in the total commitment and performance of the teacher. It is the teacher skill, creativity and attitude in the teaching/learning process that dictates the level of learner performance during curriculum implementation.

Download or read book Culture Schooling and Children s Learning Experiences written by and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-08 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As countries experience increasing cultural diversity both within and between their borders, contemporary researchers are exploring the connection between culture and children's learning and academic experiences. One important goal is to provide all children with educational experiences that are culturally sensitive, relevant, and effective in helping them reach their maximum potential and preparing them for the future. With over twenty-five contributing authors, this volume investigates the connection between culture and children's schooling and learning experiences from multidisciplinary perspectives, diverse methodologies, and cross-cultural and culture specific approaches. The common thread running through the chapters is the understanding that learning is an activity that takes place within cultural contexts. Together, the chapters highlight the forces that shape children's everyday learning experiences. Core themes address how parental beliefs and cultural ways of learning and problem-solving shape children's learning experiences and social interactions with teachers; the importance of quality early childhood education and playful learning to children's school success and development; and how the complex intersection of cultural variables with forces such as historical injustice, social and educational inequality, economic stability, and political ideologies shape children's learning. The volume honors the experiences of Indigenous, newcomer, first-generation children, and children of underrepresented communities and highlights the vital role that policy makers, teacher educators, schools, and classroom educators play in helping all children reach their academic and social potential.
