Jane, But under the Education Act, aren't schools run by communities. The government of the day only provides teachers and money for the subsidised items. And then teachers are paid by an independent body. What would be the difference between your proposed liberalisation and devolution of basic education?

Your Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta <https://www.facebook.com/myuhurukenyatta> Sir, I suggest that you liberalize the basic education sector. You could invite interested Kenyan investors to take up public school and run them for an agreed period of years. The Government would then pay a minimum school fees for all children in all schools. A given school may choose to offer education at the minimum school fees offered by the Government or increase based on the available facilities and standards. This will enable the Government to offer education to all children in Kenya. The schools will employ the teachers privately. The Government will only have the role of policy and regulation to ensure quality.
