Status of Nomadic Education in Wajir County

Requirements for the consultancy:
Area of Intervention Wajir East and Wajir South,
Consultancy Start date 3rd October 2011,
Consultancy Completion 5th November , 2011
Sector-specific focus Education: Alternative Education provision for nomadic children in Kenya

Save the Children
Save the Children has been managing programmes in Kenya for over 20 years. Save the Children's strategy for Kenya and in particular in the North Eastern Province is linked to the organizational goals for ensuring that all children have access to quality basic services – health, education, protection and social welfare. Our interventions in Kenya implement this goal through improvement of and access to health facilities, the protection and improvement of the nutritional status of beneficiaries, and improved food security and livelihoods of beneficiaries through community management structures and social protection. Additionally, we are strongly committed to improving access to quality basic education that is appropriate and relevant to the needs of children in nomadic communities in ASAL areas in Kenya. In line with the agency-wide strategy, Save the Children has been one of the leading International NGO's responding to humanitarian need in Kenya.
Context

In Kenya, over half (56%) the land mass is classified Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) in which nomadic pastoralists have traditionally remained mobile, traveling over extensive areas in search of pasture and water for their livestock. Approximately 80% of the nomadic pastoralists in Kenya are found in ASAL rangelands. They constitute about 6% of the Kenya population. The ASAL districts are found in the provinces: North Eastern; Eastern, especially in the northern part and the Rift Valley- lower and upper sections.

North Eastern Province NEP) has an overall population of about 2,310,757(National Census, 10). NEP administratively has 3 Counties which is divided into 19 district units. NEP is the third largest province in Kenya and hosts 60-70% of the livestock population in Kenya. Despite its size and population, NEP experiences limited services delivery, frequent livelihood crises and sporadic insecurity, especially around the border areas. Despite ongoing decentralization, the local government systems in the region remain weak, often lacking in financial resources and qualified and motivated personnel.

The GER for North Eastern Province (NEP), one of the regions settled by Somali Pastoralist dismally stood at 27.6% (Boys 33.5% and Girls 19.5%) and NER estimated at 19.6 % (Boys 23.6% and Girls 14.9%) as of 2006. The GER marginally rose from 19.7% (Boys 25.3% and Girls 13.3%) in 2002 to 26.2% (Boys 32.4% and Girls 18.8%) in 2003 and stagnated at 27.6% in 2006 even after the declaration of FPE (Orodho, 2006). The national GER stands at 106.4% in 2006. The ASAL areas in Kenya predominantly settled by nomadic pastoralists, have not recorded significant improvements in GER. despite the fact that government put a lot resources and effort to implement and sustain the FPE through provision of teaching/ learning materials and other limited infrastructure support directly to school communities. (Below find tabulation selected districts GER)

Table 1: Gross Enrolment Ratio for selected ASAL districts (Source: MOE, 2008)

District Girls Boys Total
Wajir 10.8% 19.8% 15.3%
Ijara 18.2% 30.6% 24.4%
Turkana 29.9% 40.0% 34.9%
Mandera 27.0% 53% 40.0%
Marsabit 41.1% 50.7% 45.9%
Garissa 18,2% 30.6% 24.4%

In Kenya, The Sessional Paper No I of 2005, Policy framework on Education, Research and Training, clearly spelt out specific interventions targeted at nomadic communities by MOE. These interventions were primarily intended to increase educational opportunities for the marginalized nomadic communities. In order to institutionalize and implement the blue print, MOE developed the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSP) 2005- 2010 with 23 Investment Programmes (IPs). A specific IP was set targeting education provision for nomadic communities.

In addition, in 2010 MOE recently launched The Policy Framework for Nomadic Education in Kenya. The Nomadic policy framework has clear guidelines and measures to increase access, enhance equity and equality, quality of education provision and governance structure. This was undertaken in pursuance of both the MDGs and EFA goals to which the Kenya government is committed. Furthermore, the policy framework clearly demonstrates that government recognizes that MDG and EFA goals will remain elusive, as long as the nomadic communities that have been marginalized for long, are not specifically targeted.

At the regional level, Save the Children has been at the forefront of the response in pastoral nomadic education, providing flexible, alternative models for some of the most difficult–to-reach populations in the East and Horn of Africa. Some well-known examples include ABEK program in Karamoja, Uganda and Alternative Basic Education (ABE) programs implemented in Ethiopia, South Sudan and Somalia. We have learnt a lot of useful lessons in terms of modes of delivery, transition into formal schools, the importance community ownership and advocating with governments for policies that responsive to the educational context and needs of the nomadic children. Using the already-existing agency-wide knowledge, and informed by a contextual thorough baseline, Save the Children plans to support scaling up of nomadic education in close collaboration with relevant government offices and like-minded partner organizations.

Our Strategic thinking:
Our long-term goal is to ensure access to quality basic education for nomadic children in Kenya. We plan to do this through providing adequate technical support to the Ministry of Education and other state authorities at different levels to strengthen and ensure quality alternative basic education for children in ASAL areas, as stated within the Nomadic Education Policy framework.

Within our work and through providing support to MOE and other relevant government offices, to achieve the following results:

Result 1: Adequate guidelines and standards are in place to guide the implementation of the Nomadic Education Policy Framework

Result 2: The Emerging Nomadic Education Policy guidelines are implemented throughout Greater Wajir District and County

Result 3: Formal and Alternative schools in Wajir provide quality basic education, as indicated in the Nomadic Education Policy

We are concerned and will support initiatives to increase access to primary education and to improve the quality of education received by children that is based on the principles of inclusion, participation, relevance, safeguarding and take into account the different lifestyles and livelihoods. For these reasons, we will focus on improving the capacity, support and supervision of both formal and non-formal schools and teachers.

Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study is to assess the status of nomadic education in Wajir County with specific focus on the performance of the districts/county in education indicators.
