Title
The Use of Technology to Promote Equity and Inclusion in Education in North and Northeast Kenya
Abstract
Kenya has been lauded as having one of the most progressive and effective education systems in Africa. Significant investments in education funding, innovative technology-enabled approaches to improve teaching and learning, and committed leadership make Kenya an example for neighbours and others across the world. However, at a sub-national level, significant variances in education access and quality arise. While many improvements have been made to participation, quality, equity, and inclusion in education in Kenya, there are persistent disparities in access and outcomes for rural learners, girls, learners with disabilities, and other vulnerable populations. The North and Northeastern (N/NE) counties of Kenya are where some of the greatest disparities exist. Our research examines the context of N/NE Kenya to understand why these disparities exist, and how technology can play a role in increasing equity and inclusion in education in the region.
