Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting among the Wardei of Kenya
This study focuses on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) with the aim of establishing the rationale, outcomes, and challenges it presents to the girls and their families, and whether there is scope for developing alternative rites of passage. The study established that the major purpose of FGM/C among the Wardei was to control the initiates’ sexuality before marriage.

Increasing Access and Participation of Pastoralist Communities in Primary Education in Kenya
Education for Democracy and Human Rights in African Schools
The increasing clamour for democracy and good governance in Africa risked being futile if a politically literate citizenry remains insignificant and is not proactively dominant in the workings of the state. A democratic culture anchored on the respect and protection of human rights need to be imbibed in wider cross sections of the citizenry. Among the structures in the society that can be used to achieve this objective, the educational systems ca…

Adapting Some Aspects of African Culture in Schools
In the interwar period in Kenya and Tanganyika, some thought and practice in education were directed towards the need for introducing some aspects of African culture in schools. In this article, an attempt is made to discuss how effectively indigenous education transmitted African culture and how Christian missionaries were instrumental in destroying native culture in the two countries. A description of experiments aimed at reviving African tradi…
Reform in Primary Education in Kenya
L'enseignement primaire actuel au Kenya est basé sur le modèle occidental qui inculque un esprit de concurrence plutôt qu'un esprit communautaire, voire une attitude d'arrogance et de supériorité. Pour mieux adapter les jeunes aux besoins réels du pays (unité et développement nationaux, stimulation des cultures diverses, promotion de l'égalité sociale, des obligations et des responsabilités sociales), il faut « indigéniser » les programmes actuel…
