Description:

The term "wastage" is used to refer to a number of problems associated with high attrition or drop-out rates. This text attempts to describe the components of primary school wastage in Kenya, whilst addressing the dual drawbacks of non-enrolment and under-investigated repetition.

Synopsis:

Paul P.W. Achola and Vijayan K. Pillai address factors associated with wastage in primary school education and the solutions to ameliorate low participation in primary education. The book provides an examination of the factors associated with wastage, exploring the interconnectedness of non-enrollment, repetition and dropout. The authors demonstrate that reducing poverty through empowerment programs and citizen participation in school decisions are critical to improving primary school participation.
