Top performing private schools may get funding from the Government if the Ministry of Education adopts a new international financing proposal.
The new multi-billion education funding system will see private schools that produce best results rewarded through a comprehensive Government funding dubbed Education Outcome Fund (OED).
OED is an initiative of International Commission on Financing Global Education Opportunity and the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG).
The programme projects to raise Sh100 billion to pay for ‘services’, which will be offered by private schools in Africa and the Middle East.
Kenya is among the few countries earmarked for piloting of the project already rejected by Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut).
“EOF will fund successful interventions through a pre-agreed price per outcome, [COLOR=rgb(235, 107, 86)]using pooled funds from aid, philanthropy, and corporate giving. In doing so, EOF will ensure that funding only goes to what works and will systematically shift funds towards scaling programs that demonstrate the best results and value for money.”

“In doing so, EOF will seek to rapidly scale up proven and/or innovative services from non-state actors in priority areas such as Early Childhood Development or ed-tech, in order to bring much needed capacity and capabilities to strengthen state education systems and help low income countries ‘leapfrog’ their quality of provision.”
Well off families continue having an upper hand whilst those who cannot afford private schools their kids are doomed to be bottom feeders?
This will just widen the social gap. The only way out is if the government shifts its own funding fully or almost fully to public schools so that they remain competitive…ama ni udaku ya media tuuuu
