Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between universal/free primary educations, poverty and child labour in Trans-nzoia County. The paper has been critically written at a time when the country is striving towards achieving millennium development goals as well as vision 2030 where the government of Kenya is pushing towards social, economic, political as well as environmental development through education for all. However, with all this in mind, the nightmare of poverty amidst the populace in most Counties in Kenya cannot be evaded. For instance, the poverty index in Trans-nzoia County is 50.2% which has been quoted as being a key contributor to school dropout and entry into child labour. The paper recommends that for quality education to be realized and further decrease in child labour in the County, there is need to increase resources in terms of personnel/human, and physical resources as well as putting other infrastructure in place that greatly contribute to improved quality education aligned to vision 2030, increased retention rate, increased completion rate and reduction in child labour. Keywords: universal primary education, poverty, child labour.
