This Executive Summary presents the highlights of the findings and recommendations of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reform (PWPER) in order to address concerns of access, relevance, transition, equity, governance, finance and quality in education, training and research. The Report — Transforming Education, Training and Research for Sustainable Development in Kenya — is premised on the effective implementation of Competency — Based Education that promotes an individual’s wellbeing and acquisition of capabilities, skills and values in order to contribute meaningfully to the economy and society at large. It is time for Kenya to adopt innovative policy practices, approaches and education governance systems that ensure all learners are equipped with skills, knowledge and values that provide them an opportunity to thrive in the 21st Century. In transforming her education for sustainable development, Kenya must reform her education institutions, harness digital revolution, and adopt creative ways of teaching and learning. Further, the sector should strive to develop skills by revitalising research, innovation and intellectual property in TVET and University Education. His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Kenya, Dr. William S. K. Ruto, appointed the PWPER on 29th September, 2022 with Terms of Reference covering both Basic and Tertiary Education. The appointment was informed by concerns raised by the public on the implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum as well as the general need to carry out reform in the entire Education sector in line with the Kenya Kwanza Education Manifesto and the Party’s Education Charter. Kenya has made great strides in provision of quality education, making it a top performer in the Eastern and Southern Africa region. The Constitution of Kenya provides for education as a constitutional right for all. Education reform aims at the improvement of the country’s human capital index and quality of life. Further Kenya has remained committed to the United Nations’ SDG4 that aims at ensuring inclusive and equitable education that promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all. The implementation of CBC started in 2017. Implementation of CBC has faced challenges of curriculum overload and overlaps; low parental engagement; low attainment of learning outcomes; inadequate infrastructure and learning materials; and inconsistencies and ambiguities in law causing conflicts. Other challenges include high number of out-of-school learners; inadequacy of teacher capacity; underfunding; and failure to fully address factors that exclude some categories of learners like the marginalised groups, learners with special needs and adult and continuing education. Similarly, challenges of governance, funding and relevance of academic programmes have been experienced at the Tertiary level. It is against this backdrop that Kenya has continuously made great investments in the education sector.
