2.5 Summary
This chapter has presented a literature review on Primary
education and entrepreneurship in Africa. Having focused mainly on private
education in that part of the world as well as Free Primary education
initiative, related existing literature published by authors and researchers on
the topics were scrutinized. This has enabled us to establish the theoretical
underpinnings of the research. Firstly, we sought to explain different
variables surrounding education in Africa with particular foci on private
school for the poor on the continent. An appraisal of their dominance over
government schools even despite the Free Primary Education initiative was
elaborated and critics' points of view of this form of provision were equally
visited. As another major focus of our study was about entrepreneurship in
Africa, general aspects of the topics were studied with an emphasis laid on
concerns about its realities. The sections have been structured in such a way
that a thorough understanding of the research analysis will be possible.
Finally, the last section was concerned with the look at a
set of educational entrepreneurs in Kenya and their contributions towards to
betterment of private school provision in Kenya. This section has produced some
facts about the efficacy of such gathering. With the KISA, it is obvious that
the private schools in Kenya will stand as major provider of quality education
in urban slums especially for the poorest, HIV/AIDS orphans and low-income
families.
