Provision of Education for Pastoralist Children : The Case of Mobile Schools in Kenya

This study aimed at investigating factors influencing provision of education for pastoralists' children in mobile primary schools in Marsabit North District, Kenya. Mobile schools provide a critical alternative link to provision of education services to communities in arid and semi-arid lands in Kenya. Despite efforts to promote pastoral education by the government and educational stakeholders, over 80% of the school going age in nomadic pastoralists' areas still do not access the Free Primary Education introduced in 2003 by the then government.
