Floods frequently occur in the Budalangi region. The impact of child labor on student engagement was examined in this study. Due to the financial crisis and the terrible circumstances they experienced while living at the camps, the majority of students were unable to access learning materials online since their parents could not afford to support their children’s education. Notably, the majority of the pupils residing in the camps helped their parents with manual labor to make a living, including gathering sand, laboring in rice fields, and fishing along the shores of the River Nzoia and Lake Victoria. The studies also determined how teen pregnancies and young marriages affect student participation. These activities made it difficult for them to study. Poor return rates and low engagement rates in education are hence symptoms of the issue. This i...

Globally, primary education is recognized as the cornerstone of any country with stable economy. Bearing in mind the role played by education in development, the United Nations (UN) general assembly in 1948 endorsed education as a fundamental human right. The main objective of the study was to analyze the influence of physical facilities on quality of primary education in Kenya. The paper further examined the role played by United Nations in democratization of education globally in general and Africa in particular. The paper further assessed prospects that have arisen in Kenya because of universalizing education in the world. It therefore focused on the issue of quality education after the attainment of education For All (EFA) goal and th...

In this respect, the curriculum should serve the immediate and long-term needs of all students. However, COVID-19 has uncovered the inequities that have existed in curriculum and delivery, especially in developing countries. School closures due to COVID-19 have resulted in actual learning wastage. The primary question is: what changes in curriculum and delivery are essential to improving equity and learning access within this pandemic context? Therefore, the study was guided by e-learning theory as advanced by Richard E. Mayer, John Sweller, and Roxana Moreno in 2015. The theory outlines cognitive science principles that describe how electronic educational technology is used and designed to promote effective learning. The theorists advanced that channeling linguistic information through audio while concurrently...

The paper further investigated the influence of class size in promotion of quality primary education. .Particular attention is given to the crises in inputs and processes that affect the output of quality primary education. This study uses the systems theory. Systems theory was advanced by Ludwig von Bertalnffy (1968). He emphasized that systems are open and interact with their environments to acquire qualitatively properties. Systems theory focuses on the arrangement of relations between the parts which connect them into a whole. It furthe...

Since the formation of Organization of African Unity (O.A.U) in early 1960s, African states agreed to strengthen their relalationship at continental and regional levels. The primary aim was a drive for liberty. With most of African countries attaining independence, there was a shift to regional economic cooperation, trade and conflict issues. Organizations such as the African Union (AU), the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) emerged in order to address security issues and economic development. This is as a result of the cooperation of countries in specific regions. With growing leadership crises, conflicts have developed in various regions leading to political unrest in most countries. This has led to security issues being focal points of concern. As a result, peace agreements were signed and developmental activities being initiated. The paper examines Global and African peace and security architecture. The paper further assesses prospects that have arisen because of peace. It also analyzes challenges that arise due to peace initiatives and how they affect development in Africa. Particular attention is given to the crises in the Central African Republic,
