Education and Employment Committee
An Education and Employment Committee will be commissioned to ensure that historically marginalized areas have 100% transition from institutions of higher learning into employment in both formal and informal employment sectors. KUCA also envisions absorbing all graduates from historically marginalized areas into the workforce.
This policy draws from the conviction that some regions are behind economically owing to education being concentrated in a few areas. For instance, most of the best schools in the country are concentrated around Nairobi and Central Kenya. Under our KENYA UNITED COMMUNITIES ALLIANCE government, this discriminatory state of affairs will change.
We will see to it that higher bursaries are awarded to marginalized areas and an appropriate reduction in bursaries to already developed and educated areas. We will also focus on building more schools and oversee the transfer of skilled human resources from over-educated regions to under-educated regions.
Educational Support
The Education and Employment Committee will also provide a transition for the nationalization of all universities, colleges, and polytechnics under private ownership to public ownership and oversight by the Ministry of Education. This is to streamline education materials and standardize testing across the board so that some graduates do not receive unfair advantages over those in public-run facilities.
The committee will conduct a survey of workers and employment in Kenya across public and private institutions and report on sectors with excess representation and those with below-optimum recruitment. A corresponding survey will be conducted in institutions of higher learning.
Education programs with surplus supply of students will be culled, with lower-performing students being redistributed to programs with deficient supply. Those education programs with no distinguishable demand in the employment market will be scrapped so as not to waste time of students who will be left with unusable qualifications.
