, NATIONAL GOALS OF EDUCATION
Education in Kenya should:
1. Foster nationalism and patriotism and promote national unity
Kenya’s people belong to different communities, races and religions, but these differences need not divide them. They must
be able to live and interact as Kenyans. It is a paramount duty of education to help young people acquire this sense of
nationhood by removing conflicts and promoting positive attitudes of mutual respect which enable them to live together in
harmony and foster patriotism in order to make a positive contribution to the life of the nation.
2. Promote the social, economic, technological and industrial needs for national development
Education should prepare the youth of the country to play an effective and productive role in the life of the nation.
i) Social Needs
Education in Kenya must prepare children for changes in attitudes and relationships which are necessary for the smooth
progress of a rapidly developing modern economy. There is bound to be a silent social revolution following in the wake of
rapid modernization. Education should assist our youth to adapt to this change.
ii) Economic Needs
Education in Kenya should produce citizens with the skills, knowledge, expertise and personal qualities that are required
to support a growing economy. Kenya is building up a modern and independent economy which is in need of an adequate
and relevant domestic workforce.
iii) Technological and Industrial Needs
Education in Kenya should provide learners with the necessary skills and attitudes for industrial development. Kenya
recognizes the rapid industrial and technological changes taking place, especially in the developed world. We can only be
part of this development if our education system is deliberately focused on the knowledge, skills and attitudes that will
prepare our young people for these changing global trends.
