This will involve: review of ECDE policy framework; establishment of ECDE resource centres in each of the 47 counties including three feeder schools in each of the nine pastoral counties; provision of capitation grants at KSh 1,020 (with adjustment for children with special needs for education) per child enrolled in public ECDE centres; and recruitment of 48,000 trained ECDE teachers (24,000 in first year and 6,000 in each of the four subsequent years). The government will also develop a framework for identifying children’s inherent abilities and talents and aligning them to early childhood education and future professional training.
ECD policy reviewed and aligned with the constitution; ECDE teachers recruited; County ECDE resource Centres established; ECDE materials development and distributed.
