Foreword

Data and information continue to be critical in the development of the education sector. As the country

yearns for a knowledge based economy, everyone has set their focus on the contribution of the education

sector as it is responsible for development of human capital to support the achievement of the long term

development goals and even sustain the status once achieved. The policy and planning in the sector has to

therefore be based on evidence so that the interventions we put in place for the sector’s development remain

grounded on facts. The Ministry thus takes the production of data and information very seriously and has

taken considerable strides in ensuring credible, reliable and accurate data is produced for the purpose of

effective policy and planning. The data produced by the sector also helps in tracking the achievements the

sector has made against the commitments it has made to the public.

The 2016 statistical booklet puts emphasis on a range of indicators core to the sector. The booklet covers

indicators transcending early childhood development and education, primary and secondary levels of

education. It covers the distribution of learning institutions as our education supply points; enrollment and

enrolment rates; number of teachers in their categories of employment (Government and School Board

employed teachers), their levels of qualification and the pupil teacher ratio; status of school infrastructure

with special emphasis on classrooms and sanitation facilities. These indicators are produced for private and

public schools at all the three levels of education with rural and urban dimensions where possible. These

indicators provide an opportunity to establish the progress made towards achieving the objectives of the

education sector and to look into the future in terms of policies that need to be put in place towards ensuring

equity in accessing education while also addressing quality issues.

The results presented in this booklet are the outputs of the Education Management Information System

whose evolution the Ministry continues to invest in. The Ministry is committed to the continuous

improvement of the credibility, reliability and accuracy of these results. Though the Ministry has made

significant progress in the recent past, a number of challenges remain outstanding. These are expected to

be resolved in the new regime of EMIS which targets precision in reporting. I wish to reiterate the Ministry’s

commitment in producing quality education statistics to inform management of education programs not

only in basic education but across the sector.

Finally, I wish to point out that the booklet is very informative for the purposes of planning, resource

allocation, research and programming in the country. It also creates an avenue for engaging other

stakeholders in the private sector and interested development partners. I encourage all stakeholders to use

the results extensively in the improvement of the sector.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank everyone who put their time and energy to the production of the 2016 Basic

Education Statistical booklet. This being the third consecutive statistical booklet produced by the

Ministry since the Annual Schools Census was revived in 2014, it shows the sector is committed

to the production of data in support of efficient policy formulation and planning and overall

management of the education sector. I would like sincerely thank the UNICEF Kenya Country

Office - Education under the leadership of Dr. Daniel Baheta for the consistent support that it has

extended to the Ministry in the past two rounds of data collection and processing and even for

supporting this round of data processing. The technical support received from Andriamamy

Rakotomalala also supported by the UNICEF is deeply honoured.

I would like to thank the UNESCO Institute of Statistics under the UNESCO Regional Office for

the quality assurance backstopping provided to the technical team in the data processing. I would

also like to appreciate the tremendous effort put into this round of data collection and processing

by the Central Planning and Project Monitoring Unit under the leadership of the Chief Economist.

The immense energy put into this process by the unit cannot be overemphasized. The unit

facilitated the distribution of data collection tools; verification of completeness of data submitted

from schools; supported data entry, data cleaning, validation and the drafting of this booklet.

The dedicated contribution from the County Directors of Education; County Quality Assurance

and Standards Officers; Sub County Directors of Education; Sub County Quality Assurance and

Standards officer, Sub County EMIS Clerks and school heads deserve a lot of plaudits. Without

the support and dedication from the field team, the 2016 results would not be here to be seen. The

devotion from the field team ensured the sector achieves the objective of delivering the 2016

school census in time.

Finally I would like to thank the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics for their support in ensuring

the results delivered meet the desired standards of quality set by the National Statistical System.

The process and logistics involved were gruesome but thanks for the continued support by relevant

stakeholders the 2016 school annual census was confirmed as credible.

Chapter Two: Methodology

The Ministry continues to deliver quality data to support the development of education

countrywide hence the exemplary commitment to process and produce this statistical booklet. The

sector has ensured the methodology used to produce the data is sustained at high standards that are

beyond reproach, transparent and strives to improve future productions. The 2016 Annual Schools

Census followed the process detailed below.

Data Collection Tools

During the 2016 Schools Census exercise, the Ministry made a slight improvement of the ECDE

and Primary schools tool, not on the variables collected, but on the structure of the sections to

ensure clear distinctions between the ECDE and Primary sections. This move was informed by the

need to avoid challenges experienced by school heads where some figures meant for ECDE section

found themselves in the primary section of the tool. There was no change made on the variables

collected in secondary schools. Additional clarifications were made on the instructions for

completing the primary and secondary tools to improve precision of the responses provided by

school heads. Please see the tool annex 4a and 4b.

Data Collection and Processing

The data collection tools were printed and distributed to the two hundred and ninety (290) Sub

County Offices in the month of August 2016. The Sub County Offices subsequently distributed

the tools to their respective schools in the first two weeks of third term of 2016 which began in

September of that year. The distribution was based on the updated master school list generated

from the 2015 Schools Census data set. Schools spent the second half of the month of September

to complete the tools after which they returned two copies of the tools to their respective Sub

County Offices in the month of October. The third copy is expected to be maintained by schools

for their records. The triplicate design of the data collection tools is maintained to ensure each

school and the Sub County offices have copies as census records while the original copy is

forwarded to the Ministry for central processing.

The first frontier of data processing was the Sub County Offices where coverage was assessed to

ensure all schools participated in the census exercise. Establishment of new schools being a

continuous process, there were schools that were obviously out of the 2015 schools master list.

There are schools that closed down and this verification could only be possible at the Sub County

level. The second level of verification carried out by the Sub County was the completeness of the

submitted data collection tools. This was done to ensure possible data gaps are addressed while

the data collection tools were still close to the data providers.

The data collection tools were finally submitted to the Ministry’s headquarters in the month of

October/November 2016. The data entry did not happen until January 2017 owing to the increased

surveillance in the 2016 national examination which involved most of the officers who are usually

engaged in the data entry exercise. The data entry exercise was carried out by a team of one

hundred (109) clerks, 14 from the Ministry’s headquarters and 95 drawn from fortyseven (47)

counties. The data entry exercise lasted two weeks beginning 16th January 2017.

Data cleaning was carried out in the month of February 2017.

Estimation for Non Response

During the data cleaning, the Ministry established that about 5000 schools had not submitted their

questionnaires despite being in the previous school census. Similar to the cases established in the

2015 census, most of the schools in the missing category were private, some of which had been

closed down due to administrative decisions. To cover 100% reporting, estimation was done taking

the missing schools into account and simulating the results of the previous census.

Limitation of the 2016 Results

Completeness of the data collection tools

Reduced coverage compared to 2015

Update of what should be static data for instance a school connected to electricity in 2015 is not

connected in 2016

Reporting

The 2016 Basic Education Statistical Booklet is a continuation of the annual statistical publication

initiated in 2015 containing 2014 data. The booklet has been put together by a technical team from

the Ministry of Education with technical oversight provided by an EMIS expert who also doubles

up as an Education Economist. The booklet has been validated by the senior management of the

Ministry.

Chapter Three: Highlights of 2016 Schools Census Results

This chapter provides highlights of the 2016 schools census results with provision for trend of

selected indicators from 2012. The indicators presented hence include number of schools and

corresponding school sizes for each level; enrolments and enrolment rates for each education level;

comparative schooling profiles for selected years; promotion, repetition and dropout rates selected

for internal efficiency indicators; teachers and pupil teacher ratios; deployment/distribution of

teachers; text books and pupil text book ratios; classrooms and class sizes; proxy for system

outputs measured by examination results for each of the relevant levels; and infrastructure.

Number of Schools

Table 1 below shows the trend in the growth of ECDE centers, primary and secondary schools.

The number of ECDE Centers increased from 40,775 in 2015 to 41,248 in 2016 representing a

growth of 1.2% growth. The growth saw an average of 7 new public and 3 new private centersper

county compared to an average of 2 new public and 10 new private centers per county in 2015.

The share of private ECDE centers therefore remained stagnant at 39%, the same share reported

in 2015. The average size of an ECDE center in 2016 is 78 (85 in public centers and 66 in private).

the growth in public schools slowed down by 0.8 percentage points to record 2.4% in 2016

compared to 3.2% in 2015. The average school size dropped from 322 in 2015 to 309 in 2016.

Secondary schools reported an increase of 5.6% between 2015 and 2016 compared to 8.1%

between 2014 and 2015. Public secondary schools increased by 3.8% compared to 18.7% for

private schools. The growth in private schools is not necessarily an increase in newly established

schools but includes schools that had not participated in the census in 2014 and 2015 despite them

being in operation. The share of private schools increased from 12% in 2015 to 14% in 2016 further

strengthening the role of the private sector in providing secondary education. The average size of

a secondary schools gained four more students to stand at 271 compared to 267 in 2014.

Enrolment in Public and Private Schools

Table 2 shows enrolments in public and private schools for ECDE, primary and secondary levels

of education. One out of three children in ECDE in 2016 was reported to be in private centers. At

primary, 16% of the pupils go to private schools; and in secondary 8% of the students go to private

schools.

Parity 0.88 0.87 0.92 0.90 0.95 Source: Ministry of Education

ECDE enrolment increased by 1% between 2015 and 2016 slowing down from a growth of 4.9%

between 2014 and 2015. Gender parity based on absolute enrolment dropped marginally from 0.97

in 2015 to 0.96 in 2016. The average figures over the last five years indicate that ECDE gender

parity largely remains within the region of parity (0.97 - 1.3).

The total number of pupils enrolled in Primary Education increased by about 190,000 representing

a growth of 1.9% between 2015 and 2016. The primary gender parity index based on absolute

enrolment has been stable for the last five years at 0.97. In secondary schools, enrolment increased

by about 165,000 students representing a 6.4% growth between 2015 and 2016. Girls’ enrolment

at secondary continued its impressive growth recording a 9.6% increase between 2015 and 2016

and pushing up the gender parity 0.05 units from 0.9 to 0.95.

Learners with Special Needs

Table 5 below presents the total number of learners with special needs in primary and secondary

schools in 2016. A total of 222,700 pupils and 11,400 students were reported as enrolled in primary

and secondary schools respectively. The share of girls with special needs is similar in both primary

and secondary schools at 45%. In primary schools, 44% of the pupils with special needs have

intellectual impairments while 34% have hearing and visual impairments (17% hearing and 17%

visual). 14% have physical impairments while 8% were reported to have multiple special need

cases.

accounts for 28%while hearing impairment accounts for 24% of total the enrolment of students

with special needs. Unlike primary schools where intellectual impairment accounts for the single

largest share of enrolment at 44%, it only accounts for 13% of the total enrolment in secondary

school raising concerns of what happens to the children beyond primary education.

Basic Education Schooling Profile

Table 6 below presents main schooling profile indicators between 2012 and 2016. As shown in the

table, the Gross Intake Rate (GIR) has stabilized at 100% since 2015 indicating that only one

generation joins class one and at the age prescribed by the Ministry of 6 years. Access to class 6

is beyond 100% indicating possible repetition or re-entry into the system by pupils who may have

at one point dropped out. Access to standard eight, a proxy indicator for the Primary Completion

Rate (PCR) gained a one percentage point between 2015 and 2016 to settle at 84%. Whereas these

indicators depict maturity and stability of the education system, the booklet in a later section

discusses regional variations with respect to these indictors.

Transition from primary to secondary lost a percentage point between 2016 having recorded 86%

in 2015. About 15% of the children who complete primary schools never have a chance of joining

secondary education.

Since 2012, access to Form 1 has been on an increasing trend gaining 17 percentage points in just

5 years. With 70% of the students expected to be in Form 1 joining secondary schools, this has to

be one of the better performing education systems in Sub Saharan Africa. The probability that the

students who are in Form 1 in 2016 will complete their secondary education in the prescribed

period is also highly ranking at 82%. Figure 2 below shows the combined schooling profile for

primary and secondary levels of education and the evolution between 2014 and 2016. Ideally in a

universal education context, the GIR is expected to be 100% and retention at all grades maintained

at 100% such that the completion rate is 100%. As Kenya is pursuing universal secondary

education, the Primary GIR should be 100% and the secondary completion 100%.

Figure 2: Schooling Profile 2014 - 2016

In Figure 2, thePrimary GIR has stabilized at 100% over the three years plotted indicating that

most of the children joining school are from one generation. The retention between class 1 and

class 7 is generally high at 100% with possible cases of children coming back to the system.

Retention between class 7 and class 8 continues to remain an unanswered phenomenonin the

sector. There is consistency in the share of pupils completing class 7 who fail to make it to class 8

averaging 20% between 2014 and 2016. Another 15% (2016) of the pupils who complete class 8

do not make it to Form 1.As indicated in Table 7 below and depicted in Figure 2 above, Transition

between class 8 and Form one has significantly improved in the last three years. Retention in

secondary has also made significant leap gaining 6 percentage points from 2015 to record 82% in

2016.

Primary Education

In primary, the GER remained above the 100% mark increasing from 103.6% to 104.2%. Overall,

these numbers show that the number of overage and underage pupils has reduced in the system.

As discussed in the schooling profile section, children are increasingly joining school at the

prescribed age. The marginal increment could be due to the coverage of schools where some,

especially private schools, were missed in the 2015 census exercise. In comparison to the GER1

from latest household survey targeting the school going children, the GER from the administrative

data is within acceptable range of variation. The NER passed the 90 percent mark to reach 91.1%

in 2016.

Secondary Education

Secondary GER gained 3.5 percentage points from 2015 to settle at 66.8% further strengthening

According to the results, there is no significant difference between the promotion rates of boys in

comparison to that of girls in primary schools. In secondary however, there is a 4.5 percentage

difference between the promotion rate of boys and girls with girls recording 88.5% and boys 93%.

The repetition rate in 2016 is 2.9% and 1.1% in primary and secondary schools respectively. Class

7 reported the highest repetition rate in primary at 4.2%, 1.3 percentage points higher than the

average. In secondary schools, Form 3 recorded the highest repetition rate at 3% compared to the

1.1% for that entire level of education. Generally, the repetition rate for boys is higher than that of

girls throughout the two levels of education.

Teachers and Teacher Qualification

The table 10 shows the number of teachers by level of education. The numbers are disaggregated

by gender and status (public and private schools) as well as the status of employment - whether

employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) or by the Schools Board of Management

(BOM). There are a total of 110,819 teachers in ECDE according to the 2016 schools census, 81%

of them female. Of all the teachers in ECDE, 62.1% are employed by county governments in public

ECDE centres while the 37.9% are employed by management in private ECDE centres.

The total number of teachers in primary schools in 2016was 351,103 having increased by 6% from

332,166 in 2015. Half of the teachers reported in 2016 are female. Of the total number of teachers

at this level, 71.2% practise in public schools while 28.8% practice in private schools. Out of the

teachers practicing in public primary schools, 86% are employed by the TSC while the rest are

employed by school boards. The share of female teachers employed by the TSC in primary schools

is 50% while that of teachers employed by school boards is 45%.

In secondary, a total of 138,138 teachers were reported in 2016, 90% of them in public secondary

schools. This was an increase of 7% from 129,306 reported in 2015. Close to 4 out of 10 teachers

in public secondary schools are employed by school boards. The share of female teachers in

secondary schools is much lower than the first two levels of education, recording 37.5% in 2016.

As shown in Figure 7 above, about one quarter (24%) of teachers in secondary schools have

qualifications lower than bachelor degree. 17% of teachers have diploma (16% in public while

21% in private schools). Over slightly over two thirds (68%) of teachers have bachelors as their

highest qualification (69% in public and 64% in private schools). 8% if teachers are considered

untrained (8% in public and 11% in private schools). These are mostly teachers who are employed

by school boards to address teacher shortage in the short term. 7% of teachers in public secondary

schools have postgraduate qualification compared to 4% in private secondary schools.

Pupils/Students Teacher Ratios

As indicated in Table 11 below, the Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) for ECDE in 2016 is 31and 25 for

public and private centres respectively. Overall, the PTR is 29 children for every teacher. Similar

to ECDE, the primary PTR is 29. In private schools, there is an average of a teacher for every 17

pupils. In public primary schools, The PTR based on teachers employed by the TSC is one teacher

for every 40 pupils which is in line with international standards for teacher distribution. Including

the teachers employed by school boards, the ratio improves to a teacher for every 34 pupils.

Classrooms and Average Class Sizes

Table 12 presents the status of classrooms in primary and secondary schools in terms of permanent

and temporary structures. 13% of classrooms in primary schools are temporary in nature with

significant variation between public and private schools. In public primary schools, 89% of

structures used as classrooms are made of permanent materials compared to 82% in private

schools.

In secondary schools, 4% of classrooms are temporary and similar to primary schools, the share

of temporary structures is higher in private schools compared to public schools at 8% and 3%

respectively. The average class size in secondary schools is 39 students per class (41 students per

class in public schools and 24 students per class in primary schools). It is important to note that

these are national averages and as such mask existing disparities across sub national administrative

units.

Library and Science Laboratories in Secondary Schools

Table 13 presents the number of secondary schools that have study libraries and science

laboratories. The table is based on the schools that responded to this question in the 2016 census

exercise. Atotal of 2,758 schools have a study library representing 28% of secondary schools (24%

of public secondary schools and 48% of private secondary schools).

70% of all secondary schools in the country (68% of public secondary schools and 80% of private

secondary schools.

Pupils/Students Toilet Ratios

As presented in Table 14 the Pupil Toilet Ratio (PToR) in public primary schools in 2016 was 29:1

and 32:1 for boys and girls respectively. The toilet ratio for boys is well within the national norms

of 30:1 while the toilet ratio for girls is way above the national norm of 25:1. In public secondary

schools, the ratio was 19:1 for boys and 20:1 for girls. The toilet ratio in private primary and

secondary schools for boys was 19:1 and 11:1 respectively while that of girls was 18:1 and 16:1

respectively.
