Where is Kenya situated?

Kenya is located in East

Africa. Its terrain rises from
a low coastal plain on the
Indian Ocean to mountains
 Education in Kenya

School is free in Kenya, but

many children are too busy to
go to classes. They help their
families by working the land,
tending cattle, cooking, or
fetching water.
 The Speech
As a girl who studies and is lucky to be in one of the
best schools, I want to speak up for girls in Kenya, In
Kenya, almost an equal number of boys and girls sit for
the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, which
marks the end of primary education and the beginning
of secondary school.
However, only a small percentage of girls finish
secondary/high school and sit for the Kenya Certificate
for Secondary Education.
 Although the majority of girls in Kenya complete
primary education, few fully complete their
secondary education because of several socio-
economic issues, such as teenage pregnancies, early
marriages, poverty and lack of mentorship.
Addressing the issue of gender disparity and equality
in education is critically important for social and
economic growth within these regions.
Only 18% of Kenyan women aged 25+
have completed secondary education
with ~49% of the female youth (15-
24) population considered illiterate.
86.5% of girls aged 9-13 years live in
rural Kenya with 80.8% of them
attending primary school but only
14.3% enrolling for secondary.
 So we come to a point where we realise that
there are alot of advantages of education for
Kenyan girls, for example if they study,
graduate, an get a degree, they can get a job
which will help them a lot to have money and
buy there own houses and food and it also helps
them with their kids.
Thank
you!
