Girls and women in Kenya are disadvantaged in terms of access to education. There are various factors that contribute to this. Cultural beliefs, religious beliefs and societal norms play a role in undermining the role of education to those of the female gender. Harmful practices such as FGM and early marriages seek to cut short the lifespan of a girl’s education. Female students who manage to continue with their secondary and higher education often perform poorly in Mathematics and Science subjects. Fortunately, there are institutions such as Kiriri Women’s University of Science and Technology that have come up to address these challenges.
