The government of Kenya endeavours to make basic education relevant for sustainable development.62 Mark(s)Explain how the East African harmonisation framework has impacted basic education.

Picture a small, rudimentary school that has 75 to 80 students in a single classroom, no library, only one desktop computer, a few textbooks, and a spotty Internet connection. Keriko Secondary School in Pwani Village, Nakuru, was such a school, but then fortune smiled—big time.Located in a remote part of Kenya's Rift Valley in Africa, Keriko is an educational lifeline for hundreds of young people, many of whom have struggled against adversity.Nearly all the students come from families who are destitute, and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. Because of a severe and unrelenting drought that has gripped Kenya since 2014, food and water can't be taken for granted, and consequently, disease and malnutrition have been rampant. Very few of the students' families can afford books and uniforms for school, a situation that is only made worse by the fact that most of the students face an arduous hike of more than four miles (six kilometers) on bad roads just to get to school every day.Despite these persistent challenges, Keriko's students are highly motivated to come to class. That's partly because Keriko has a great asset: Peter Tabichi, the school's science and math teacher.In March 2019, Tabichi won the annual Global Teacher Prize in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, an honor that came with an award of a million dollars. He was chosen for this award from a pool of 10,000 nominees from 179 countries, but any of his students could've told you that he's one in a million.So what's it like to win international recognition?"I feel great! I can't believe it!" exclaimed the charismatic 36-year-old teacher with the same enthusiasm he expresses in the classroom. "I feel so happy to be among the best teachers in the world, being the best in the world."Tabichi has chosen to devote his life to serving people in need. He donates 80 percent of his teacher salary to improve the school and to help the poor—and he intends to do the same with his prize money. But perhaps his most indispensable contribution is the superb education he provides his pupils, not to mention the self-confidence he instills in them.Thanks to Tabichi's guidance and support, Keriko is Kenya's highest-rated public school. Its science club has produced research projects of such quality that 60 percent of the club's members have qualified for national and international competitions. The club's impressive projects include a device that allows people who are blind and deaf to measure objects and a generator that produces electricity from plant extracts and sewage. No wonder enrollment at Keriko has doubled to 400 since Tabichi arrived and the percentage of students who go on to universities and colleges has grown in leaps and bounds from year to year. Another of Tabichi's many accomplishments has been the academic achievements of Keriko's girls, who led the boys in all four of the school's tests in 2018.But Tabichi's contributions are not limited to the classroom, nor to science and math. He regularly meets with his pupils' families on weekends. He offers counseling and has been teaching the Nakuru community how to grow drought-resistant crops.Most touching of all, perhaps, is his peace club. In 2007 and 2008, conflict among ethnic groups in Kenya led to great bloodshed. To unite children from the seven different tribes represented in the school, Tabichi brings club members together for various activities, such as planting trees in harmony with nature and each other.As a teacher of scientific forces, Tabichi himself is a force of nature, and his subject matter is life itself.
