Produktbeschreibung
Education is an important tool that can be used to
empower marginalized groups for them to be
integrated in a country s development. This
importance notwithstanding, many street children in
Kenya have not been to school and are
thus disadvantaged when it comes to participation in
the affairs of the nation. Yet research on which
this book is based reveals that these children have
clear aspirations and have great dreams of where
they wish to be in the future. They also know that
for them to achieve their vision, they need to
receive quality education if they are to compete
favorably with their age mates in the regular
schools. The book highlights the aspirations and
challenges of Kenya s street children and concludes
that there is need to address their educational
needs. It rationalizes the establishment of an
education for life centre that would act as a
transition between the streets and formal schools
for street children and proposes teaching these
children accelerated courses at the centre. This
book is useful to researchers,
educationists and anyone interested in understanding
issues related to children in difficult
circumstances.
