Abstract:
This paper is premised on the relationship between education and social protection policies in Kenya since independence, and thereby contributing to the growing political an academic discussion on how social investment and social protection are interrelated focuses on how government policy in two policy domains that is education and social protection affects social stratification and cohesion. The paper is based on principal methodological innovations, in which policy-makers influence social protection into two distinct dimensions: one is concerned with how much the state has and intervenes in the provision of education/social protection and how much it leaves to individual, family an market, and the second is concerned with the bias towards equality or stratification faun in the state system itself. The paper critically examined and analyzed the existing literature and theories to describe the strides made on social protection through education. The discussion led to the conclusions on where we are at 50 years of independence as far a social protection is concerned? What need to be done for improvement on sad protection? What the paper could not bring out? And how the missing information could be achieved?
