Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (Kenya)

(Redirected from Ministry of Education (Kenya))

The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is a governmental ministry of Kenya, that is in charge of national policies and programs that enable Kenyans gain access to high-quality, low-cost schooling, post-secondary education, higher education, and academic research.[1] The Kenyan Ministry of Education is mandated by the Kenyan Constitution, Chapter Four, Articles 43, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, and 59, which include provisions on children's right to free and compulsory basic education, including quality services, as well as access to education institutions and facilities for persons with disabilities who are integrated into society, to the extent compatible with the person's interests.[2]

Its head office is in Jogoo House B', Harambee Avenue, Nairobi, Kenya.[1]

The head of the Ministry has been referred to as a Minister in the past, however in 2017 this title changed to Cabinet Secretary, this in line with the 2010 Constitution of Kenya which allows the government to have 22 ministries.

As of 2019 the director general is Elyas Abdi Jillaow.[3]
