Elimu Bora Working Group

The Elimu Bora Working Group is deeply saddened and outraged by the continued deaths of learners in schools across the country under circumstances that could have been avoided. Read more.

As 1.13 million CBC learners report to Grade 10, over 143,000 learners are at risk of exclusion due to flawed placements, corruption, underfunding, and lack of infrastructure. This is a constructive denial of the right to education. In this regard, EBWG,has issued this statement.

When education becomes a business, only those who can afford to pay get quality learning. Children in informal settlements and low-income families are left behind, reinforcing cycles of poverty and exclusion. 1/ #StopEducationPrivatization Education For All

We joined @EACHRights to call for increased investment in public schools and equitable distribution of resources, reminding stakeholders that education is a public good and not for profit. @thekhrc @ActionAid_Kenya @TISAKenya

End of Free Education? Government has slashed capitation for free day secondary education from Sh22,244 to just Sh12,870 per student. For the first time in years, day school parents will now have to pay direct fees under the new CBE rollout for senior school. #NTVTonight @Ben_Kitili @MichelleNgele_

Kesi ya moto shuleni Endarasha: Kesi ya mkasa wa moto ulioua watoto 21 yakosa kuanza Moto ulizuka kwenye bweni shuleni Endarasha, Kaunti ya Nyeri Polisi wakosa kuwasilisha uchunguzi wao kortini Nyeri #SemaNaCitizen

A semester is almost gone without learning in our public universities. Government does not want to honour the CBA with lecturers and therefore continues to punish our children. Who will compensate parents and students for the lost time and resources? Time has come for parents, students and lecturers to speak with one voice against an incompetent government. It is also time for the Cabinet Secretary for for Education to resign

Kitui School In Ruins: Hundreds of pupils at Imumba Primary learning under trees Collapsing classrooms and few teachers hamper learning Parents blame Ministry of Education and county for neglect #CitizenExplainer

Elimu ya CBE imewafaidi vipi Wanafunzi wenye mahitaji maalum? Tutaangazia jinsi mtaala huu utawafaa zaidi wanafunzi wenye mahitaji maalum na mianya iliyopo.

As we seek justice for 21 lives cut short in the Endarasha fire tragedy, we are also demanding accountability from the school and authorities. Every child should go to school and come back home safely. Read more: khrc.or.ke/press-release/…

Kesi za Hillside Endarasha: Kesi mbili zimewasilishwa na Tume ya Haki ya KHRC. Kesi zinashinikisha fidia na haki kwa waathiriwa. Wanafunzi 18 walifariki kwenye moto mwaka jana #SemaNaCitizen

Article 53(1)(b) provides that every child has the right to free and compulsory basic education and by extension the right to a learning environment that upholds their dignity and respects their fundamental freedoms.

Article 32 guarantees freedom of conscience, religion, belief and opinion, protecting individuals being denied access to institutions, employment or facilities due to their beliefs.

No child should be coerced to compromise their beliefs for food or education. Schools should remain safe, neutral spaces of learning and dignity. It is disturbing that pupils in Ganze-Kilifi County were compelled to chant prayers foreign to their beliefs before accessing food aid

“The government prioritizes things that will not help this country move forward. There is money to build houses, but no money for education.” — UASU Chair Dr. Richard Bosire

From school funding to promotions, medical cover, and housing, the headline commitments that drew cheers and chants of victory at State House on Saturday could collapse under political, legal, and financial realities. standardmedia.co.ke/education/arti…

Transitions from 8-4-4 to CBC and now CBE have been rushed, poorly planned, and lack a guiding national philosophy. Implemented without proper teacher preparation, sufficient infrastructure, or solutions to overcrowding, these reforms have failed and worsened the education crisis

This defunding forces schools to either collapse or exploit parents through illegal fees, revealing a calculated policy to privatize public education.

During the second day of the National Education Stakeholders Conference, EBWG expressed concern over the systematic regression of Kenya’s education system as the third term begins on 25th August 2025.
