Tourism vs Education

General

Which of these two sectors contribute a huge chunk to Kenya’s employment pyramid?

As in which sectors have a longer and more robust employment chain? Some people say it’s tourism. I posit it’s education, why?

  1. Teaching staff. TSC alone had 300k plus teachers on payroll. Ongeza wa BOM, PTA and then those in private schools (including za kanisa and informal schools), universities and colleges.
  2. Non teaching staff-cooks, school guards, clerks, secretaries, accountants, electricians, lab assistants, drivers, farm hands, matrons, nurses and the list goes on
  3. Suppliers-desks, beds, mattresses, food, stationery, uniforms, lab equipment, clinic/sanatorium equipment, computers, fuel, electricity, water etc
  4. Non state actors-NGOs, CBOs, RBOs, etc, that run school programs like Junior Achievment, YCS, health promotion, chaplaincy and so on
  5. Those working to support mainly teaching and non-teaching staff, and others at the front of the chain who rely on education like suppliers.

but one will also argue the same for Tourism.
Plane - Pilots, engineers, flight attendants, cleaners for the planes, all airport workers (security, cleaners, check counter…)
hotels - all the workers fro managers, cleaners, e.t.c
agents who book flights or hotels. - all the workers from managers to cleaners of the offices
tour guides -
national parks or tourist attraction centers -
sex workers - underage and overage- offering sex and those trying to extort/trap the tourist or those looking for a better life
taxis -
drug traffickers and everything involved with drugs

the list are endless for both
i guess the best angle to argue from maybe income generated.
