Abstract

The right to education is well articulated in SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) as well as in Articles 43 and 53 of the Constitution of Kenya. In addition, the Basic Education Act 2013 guarantees every Kenyan citizen access to basic education and the legal mechanisms enshrined in the Act should operationalize quality, free and compulsory basic education in Kenya (Mulinya and Orodho, 2015). Despite Kenya being party to these instruments, the country is yet to have this right realized. This necessitates an examination of the situation with a view to accelerating basic education in Kenya.
