There has been a lot of talk and progress around achieving universal primary education in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a difficult task, considering that population projections for 2005-2015 for the region show a 21% increase in primary school age population (UNESCO, 2006). How do we catch up and effectively serve all of these children?
Like most educators, I am concerned about this question and more. My particular interest is in providing them the very best secondary and, for at least half, tertiary education possible. And I want to provide these in their homes.
I want to use my experience and knowledge in and from premier educational institutions on three continents to create new and better educational institutions. My plan? I will begin by finding pathways for the rapidly growing middle class girl population in western Kenya. Join me.
