With the introduction of Free Primary Education (FPE) nationally in 2003, the net enrolment in primary education in Kenya increased from 69 percent in 2002 to 96 percent by 2009.
However, access and quality remain overarching challenges for the Kenyan education system.
To address these challenges, since 2006 the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) has been implementing a comprehensive school reform strategy aimed at increasing equitable access to quality education in primary schools.
In line with the Foundation’s participatory approach to development, AKF implemented its tested Whole School Approach (WSA) model within its school reform strategy.
This brief document outlines this approach and key successes.
