The policy recognises nuclear, polygamous, blended, extended, as well as child-headed and skip-generation or grandparent-headed families. Single-parent families are also recognised in this policy, breaking the tradition of looking down on these families. The policy seeks to promote gender-responsive and age-appropriate programmes that help people understand sexuality framed in the context of marriage as the best option. Those in the urban slum areas and in the poor households in the rural parts of Kenya are at the highest risk of early sex debut, an easy gateway to early marriage and contracting HIV. In reality, some schools, especially private ones, have embraced sexuality education in their programming for even their kindergarten pupils.

Students and their families are being forced to choose university courses they can afford under the new funding model introduced last year rather than what they qualify for and aspire to study, investigations by Nation indicate. Students who wish to change the courses they have been placed within the same university can also do so on the university portals. On Tuesday last week, President William Ruto met all public university vice-chancellors and one of the agenda items was evaluation of the funding model. When he travelled from his home in Elgeyo-Marakwet County last year and enrolled for a Bachelor of Education (physics and mathematics) degree at the institution, he was optimistic that the new higher education funding model would cater for his financial needs. The National Assembly Committee on Education is scheduled to have a meeting with the principal secretary for Higher Education Beatrice Inyangala to discuss the funding model.

South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) is faced with a tricky dilemma which will determine the future of the country after it spectacularly lost its parliamentary majority in last week's election. Alternatively, the ANC could work with two radical parties that broke away from it - former President Jacob Zuma's uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party or Julius Malema's Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF). Mr Malema has warned the ANC against forming a coalition that would "reinforce white supremacy" and be a "puppet of a white imperialist agenda". As well as demanding a new president, MK wants the constitution to be torn up so that South Africa becomes an "unfettered parliamentary democracy" - something the ANC has ruled out. KwaZulu-Natal is South Africa's second-most populous province, and is often described as the economic artery of the nation because of its ports.

There was no occasion during Elizabeth II’s 70-year reign of an incoming state visit being staged in the timespan between the calling of a general election and polling day.

They will spend seven days in the UK, arriving on June 22 to carry out private engagements ahead of the official state visit. The Japanese state visit previously had to be postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2017, the decision to move the Spanish state visit was confirmed by Buckingham Palace three days after Theresa May announced an election.

Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Musalia Mudavadi has echoed Kenya’s support for a mediated proposal announced to end the Israel-Hamas war. Mudavadi said Kenya has noted the joint statement released by Egypt, Qatar and the US on the war between Israel and Hamas. The proposal says parties would continue to engage in negotiations to finalise the arrangements for this second phase. Mudavadi said Kenya believes the proposal should only be the initial step in creating the conditions for self-determination for the Palestinian people and advancing a long-term two-state solution. “Kenya re-affirms and reiterates its position that the only and most realistic solution to this conflict is for both sides to acknowledge each other and embrace a two-state solution,” he said.
