In it, the Ministry of Education has a rare opportunity to address ills that have, for long, crippled Kenya’s education sector. In the National Budget for the Financial Year 2020/21, the education sector was allocated over Sh500 billion. That is why the education sector must focus on proper prioritisation and utilisation of current allocations to ensure enough cents are spent on addressing the most pressing issues. This also the time for the ministry to engage with other stakeholders in the education sector to iron out contentious issues. The onus is on the leadership of the education sector to exercise leadership and grab this opportunity to do the right thing.
