Kenyan President Initiates Free Education
November 18th, 2008

CHAN: After the post-election violence in Kenya, President Mwai Kibaki announces a new initiative to make secondary education free across the country. Here's more. STORY: Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki pledges to get children who have been displaced by recent violence back to school as soon as possible. At an assembly of students, teachers and government officials at a High School in Nairobi, he encouraged all Kenyans to learn and practice peace. [Mwai Kibaki, Kenyan President]: "Cases where schools that have been built through the painful sacrifices of parents which have been destroyed or vandalized during the recent violence, is most deplorable. I appeal to all Kenyans to preach peace and harmony so that we may create a constructive learning environment for all our children." In his first term Kibaki re-introduced free primary education, which had been lost due to corruption under the rule of his predecessor, Daniel Arap Moi. With the implementation of Kibaki's program enrolment increased from 5.9 million children in 2002 to 8.2 million children today, according to government figures. [Mwai Kibaki, Kenyan President]: "We have the intention to make sure that all children do get education and those that are held up at various camps which we have set up, we will make sure that they go to school as soon as possible." Post election violence killed more than 1,000 people and displaced more than 300 thousand according to figures released by the Kenyan Red Cross. In a displaced camp housing hundreds from Nairobi's Kibera slum many children have not been able to go back to school this year and are helping their parents with chores. Other parents are too afraid to send their children back to schools located in areas badly hit by the violence.
