Trends in Education Wastage and Dynamic Societal Mitigation Strategies

By Regina Kaume-Mwinzi

Education is a major concern of human societies. It transcends the mere acquisition of knowledge and skills hence a development of an individual who is transformed with the ability to understand and manipulate this world. The study aims to help the policy makers in both the national and county government to understand the phenomenon of education wastage and its causes so as to put in place proper strategies for its management. It would also provide a toolkit that supports the development of consistent and comprehensive policy for reducing education wastage in the areas of jurisdiction of these governments and further sensitize all the education stakeholders on education wastage in order to develop mechanisms for prevention, intervention and compensation as mitigation measures for this wastage. Finally the study would pose a challenge for further research by other researchers interested in the area of study. The findings of the study would contribute to the County's efforts of ensuring that all children attend and remain in school to acquire critical knowledge, skills and qualifications that will lead to sustainable development, particularly in Kitui County and Kenya in general.
