Are Our Children Learning?Annual Learning Assessment Report
Kenya 2011
Maria's QuestionBy James Angoye
I have a few questions to askQuestions that will take no one to task
Because no one seems to careIs my future going anywhere?
Father, mother do you care about my school?Do you know that my teacher misses school?
Do you know that we have a school open-day?Or are you busy at the office and farm today?
Headteacher, do you know that I look up to you?When things go wrong, you should come to the rescue?
Teacher, do I need to pay for tuition to pass?Should I sleep hungry so that I excel in maths?

Foreword
What if we were all wrong? - Rakesh Rajani
In today's world it is difficult to find as much agreement as we have on the value of basic education. Virtually everyone agrees that all children should go to school. Parents exert enormous time and resources to find and pay for schooling. Our governments typically set aside the largest share of the national budget to education. Hundreds of thousands of teachers have been employed in each of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, constituting about half of the entire civil service in the region. And many others – development agencies, religious organizations, researchers and the media – also dedicate enormous energy to education.
But what if we were all wrong? What if we were to wake up one day and find out that the ways in which we have been promoting education, allocating billions of dollars, organizing our schools systems and measuring success have focused on the wrong things? That the very thing we all cherish and spend so much on is in fact not achieving what it was meant to?
The Uwezo initiative should perhaps serve as that wake-up call.
The Uwezo idea is very simple. We send children to school because we expect them to learn the basic skills and competencies necessary to thrive. So Uwezo – instead of focusing on impressive numbers of classrooms built, teachers recruited, books supplied and so forth – asks the simple question, 'Are Our Children Learning?'
There are many ways of measuring learning; Uwezo focuses on the basic ability to read and count. Through a rigorous consultative process involving government and independent experts, a tool is produced to assess children's actual ability to read (in English and Kiswahili) and to do basic arithmetic at the Class 2 level. Children aged 6-16 years in tens of thousands of households across the three countries are assessed using this tool, in the largest sample survey ever of its kind. And a nationwide picture emerges that tells us whether our children have developed competency in literacy and numeracy that will serve as the foundation for further learning.
What Uwezo has found, now in its second year of business, is truly sobering. Large majorities of children lack the competencies they are expected to have developed. Some begin to catch up over time, but still too many children complete primary schooling unable to read and count at the Class 2 level. Disaggregating further we find that within countries there are huge disparities. Children from some districts do much better than others; children of the better off do much better than the less well off. Where and to whom you are born should not matter in educational opportunity available to you – that is why we have public education systems – but they do. There is no one Kenya, one Tanzania or one Uganda, and certainly not one East Africa.
In short, Uwezo has demonstrated powerfully that schooling is not translating into learning. Billions of dollars are wasted each year. An even greater level of aspirations of parents and students are dashed. As nations we are at risk, the very foundation of our democracies, social development and economic progress jeopardized, unable to grow equitably and creatively, unable to compete, unable to imagine and craft better worlds.
The good news is that what it takes to turn things around is not rocket science. But first we need to shed our obsession with counting schooling inputs and instead focus squarely on learning outcomes – on what children are learning. Second, while lots of things are important, we need to hone in on the few factors that make a big difference in learning, such as motivating teachers and holding them accountable, and creating an environment for children that is engaging and interactive. All these are doable; there is clear evidence of success from within our own countries and others that we can build on.
Whether we will do so depends on us. It depends on what we do after we read this report – in how we interact with our children and grandchildren, colleagues and friends, teachers and the authorities. On how keenly we ask the right questions and seek to find the sharp answers, on how doggedly we will act to make a difference in our own communities and hold our governments to account. It's possible. And it starts with us.

Note to Readers
Welcome, our ReaderYour action will make difference
This year, we walked far and wide, and reached the furthest and most remote villages in all 47 counties in Kenya. We visited 72,106 households (and assessed 134,243 children) with one message – Elimu Bora, Jukumu la Mzazi!, translated, quality education is the parent's responsibility! Through doing simple things at home like narrating stories to children, encouraging them to read, write and count, parents' actions can make immense contribution to the improvement of literacy and numeracy in Kenya.
We also visited 3,574 schools, with another clear message – Elimu Bora, Jukumu la Mwalimu Mkuu, translated, quality education is the headteacher's responsibility! We believe that headteachers sit on a powerful position, where they can make key decisions to improve learning in their schools. Simple actions, like working with parents, encouraging children, and motivating teachers, can make difference in improving the quality of learning in our schools.
In our visits to households, we have heard Maria's Story. This child cries out to all Kenyan citizens, to take action, so that she can learn how to read Kiswahili, read English and do math.
We believe that if every citizen took action, Maria's dream can be a reality.
We congratulate the Volunteers who walked from household to household, and the District Partners who coordinated the Uwezo Process. Their effort has produced this evidence, which we now read in this report.
It is your chance now – READ, TAKE ACTION, MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

on target to meet the commitments.The centrality of formal education for both personal wellbeing as well as wider socio-economic development is well articulated in the variety of policy documents. Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2005 on a policy framework for Uwezo traces its genesis to 2008, when a group of education training and research, the official blueprint in educators from East Africa visited Pratham, an the education sector, commits the government to independent civil society organization in India, which providing 'every Kenyan with basic quality education' has developed an innovative and citizen driven (GoK 2004:7).

Kenya is a member of the global community that made a collective commitment in the Dakar Framework for Action (UNESCO 2000) to achieve six goals by 2015. As the clock ticks down in a countdown to 2015, it becomes especially vital to monitor our progress. This report presents evidence that affirms the progress made in access to quality primary education of both boys and girls. It confirms strides in early childhood education.

teachers are not in school when they ought to be. c. Huge regional variations threaten to erode the
gains we have made. In every aspect, arid districts, irrespective of the province they belong to, lag behind. Children in arid districts have lower skills, are absent from school more often, have fewer teachers, have poorer facilities. If these children are to access their constitutional right to education, they need to be accorded an equal opportunity.
In this report, effort has been made to climb down from an 'academic tower' of writing an argument, to writing what can easily be understood by a majority of the people. The writing style has deliberately been made

Tests and Testing
Testing English and Kiswahili Reading
Table 4. How to assess reading and what criteria to use to categorize children
-
Using the assessment tools (Standard 2 level texts), reading of English and Kiswahili are assessed at four distinct levels of difficulty. Levels: letter (silabi), words (maneno), paragraph (aya) and story (hadithi). Test administrators (Volunteers) always begin at the paragraph (aya) level, and then move up to the story level (hadithi) or down to the words (maneno) depending on the competence of the child. The child is first assessed in English, and then Kiswahili. There are four test samples for variability in households with more than one child to be tested. Both reading for fluency and for comprehension are assessed at the first 3 and last level respectively.
Amos Kaburu
If a child is reading very slowly and stops between words for a long time, if s/he is reading the text like it is one word after another and therefore not reading the text like s/he is reading a sentence, then s/he is not a “para level” child. Then you should take the child one level lower and ask her/him to read words.
Once you have decided that this child is a “para” level child, ask the child to read the story.
START FROM HERE
Ÿ Ask the child to read any paragraph. Listen carefully when the child reads.
Ÿ The child may read slowly.
Ÿ But as long as s/he is reading the text like s/he is reading a sentence rather than a string of words, categorize her/him as a “para level” child.
PARAGRAPH (AYA)
Ÿ Ask the child to read any 5 words from the word list. Let the child choose the words for themselves. If s/he does not choose, then point out the words to her/him.
Ÿ If s/he can correctly read at least 4 out of the 5 words with ease, then ask him/her to try to read the paragraph again.
Ÿ S/he will be marked as a “word level” child if she can correctly read words but is still struggling with the paragraph.
SET OF WORDS (MANENO)
Ÿ Ask the child to read any 5 letters from the letters list. Let the child choose the letters for themselves. If he/she does not choose, then point out letters to him/her.
Ÿ If s/he can correctly recognize at least 4 out of 5 letters with ease, then show her/him the list of words again.
Ÿ S/he will be marked as a “letter level” child if s/he can read 4 out of 5 letters but cannot read words.
Ÿ If the child cannot recognize 4 out of 5 common letters from the letters list, mark her/him at a 'nothing' level child.
LETTERS / SILABI
Ÿ If the child reads the story fluently, with ease and speed, mark her/him as a “story level” child.
Ÿ If the child is unable to read the story fluently and stops a lot, mark the child as a para child

Testing numeracy
How to Test Numeracy
The Numeracy test has 7 distinct levels of difficulty which are: count and match, Greater than, recognition of numbers 10-99, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Testing starts at the subtraction level, and moves downwards to addition (for children who cannot subtract), or upwards to multiplication and division (for children who can subtract).
ŸShow the child the subtraction tasks.Ÿ Point to the minus sign and ask “what do you have to do?” If the child knows what to do, ask her/him to write and solve
the task. He/she can choose. If not, you can point. Watch while s/he solves it.
If the child does not know what to do, DO NOT EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT TO DO. Take them to the addition sums.
If s/he correctly does two out of three tasks then show him/her the multiplication task
• Point to the addition sign and ask “what do you have to do?” If the child knows what to do, ask him/her to write and solve the task. He/she can choose. If not, you can point.
• Watch while s/he solves it.• If s/he correctly does two out of three sums mark him/her as an addition child. • If the child does not know what to do, DO NOT EXPLAIN TO THEM WHAT TO DO. Take them to the greater
than sums.
Ÿ Show the child the multiplication task.Ÿ Point to the multiplication sign and ask
“what do you have to do?” If s/he does not want to attempt the multiplication task or is unable to do it, then mark the child as a subtraction child
Ÿ If the child knows what to do, ask her/him to write and solve the task He/she can choose. If not, you can point.
Ÿ Watch while s/he solves it.Ÿ If s/he correctly does two out of three
tasks then show him/her the division task.
Ÿ Show the child the division tasks.Ÿ Point to the division sign and ask “what
do you have to do?” Ÿ If s/he does not want to attempt the
division task or is unable to do it, then mark the child as a “multiplication child”.
Ÿ If the child knows what to do, ask her/him to write and solve the tasks. He/she can choose. If not, you can point.
Ÿ Watch while s/he solves it.Ÿ If s/he correctly does two out of three
tasks then mark the child as a “division child”.
Ÿ Show the child the pair of numbers.Ÿ Ask the child to identify from any pair which number is greater. He/she can choose. If not, you can point.Ÿ If s/he can correctly identify the number that is greater than in at least 4 out of 5 pairs, then mark her/him
as a ‘greater than’ child. Ÿ If s/he cannot correctly identify the number that is greater than in 4 out of 5 pairs, then give her/him
number recognition (11-99) task.
Ÿ Show the child the numbers 11-99.Ÿ Ask the child to identify the numbers. He/she can choose. If not, you can point.Ÿ If s/he can correctly identify 4 out of 5 numbers mark her/him as a ‘number recognition 11-99’ child. Ÿ If s/he cannot correctly identify 4 out of 5 numbers, then give her/him the ‘count and match’ task.

The Bonus Test
After testing numeracy, each child was given a bonus test. In 2011, knowledge on the parts of the body was tested. The child was expected to look, identify and name two body parts in a language of their choice. It is important to note that volunteers were expected to adhere to the ethical standards by not touching or pointing to any part of the body as required by the legal provisions. One key feature of the bonus test is that it was given to all the children; whether in school or out of school.
Should attempt both Q1 and Q2. At least one question in each section
must be correct.

8 ANNUAL LEARNING ASSESSMENT REPORT
Communication is an integral part of the Uwezo initiative. The ALA is not an end in itself but a powerful tool for initiating dialogue on the education we want. We believe that every citizen has a role to play in promoting learning. Uwezo therefore seeks to communicate with millions of citizens from diverse backgrounds. Since the last launch on 22nd April 2010, a lot of discussions have been taking place. The pictures below show some of the forums.

s per Uwezo's Theory of Change, which emphasizes partnerships, Ruiru AIDS Awareness Group (RAG) has been a partner to Uwezo in Ruiru District, since April A
2009. I have coordinated Uwezo activities since then, and through the last two national assessments. I have witnessed the various changes that have taken place in schools and communities, as a result of our assessment and communication.
Foremost, the partnership between Uwezo Kenya and RAG has created awareness among stakeholders about the importance of focusing on learning outcomes, rather than just schooling. In Ruiru, teachers, parents, learners, opinion leaders and other stakeholders in the education sector are now engaging more
constructively in matters of education, and demonstrating concern about learning of our children.
The evidence of this positive engagement is the improved learning levels, with more children enrolling in both preschool and primary school. Education days have now become a common phenomenon in the district, and most schools are having designated days in which parents, teachers and learners sit together to discuss learning. Many villages have also formed Village Education Committees, joining forces to improve education in their neighborhoods. Subsequently, the district has recorded marked improvement in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). The district celebrated the best-ever KCPE results in December 2010.
Through training in research, Uwezo Kenya has continued to build the capacity of members of Ruiru AIDS Awareness Group. As the District Coordinator, I have been incorporated into key decision making organs in the district such as the District Development Committee (DDC), the Area Advisory Committee (an organ of the National Council for Children Services), and Boards of Governors of two secondary schools. I am now recognized as a key stakeholder in the education sector, and I receive various invitations to present talks on matters of schooling and learning.
The volunteers in the villages are also at the centre of this transformation. For instance, one of my volunteers, Wilson Kamau, has been nominated as the District Youth Coordinator in Ruiru, and is now leading the Kazi kwa Vijana Initative. He attributes his visibility to involvement in Uwezo Kenya activities. Together, we enjoy the emerging capacities in large-scale research, and are glad to be associated with Uwezo Kenya.
Long live the partnership!

CHART 1: Under Age and Over Age Children Classwise(%)
Eight out of ten children aged 6-13 years are attending public primary schools. Four out of a hundred children are out of school nationally. There are slightly more boys out of school than girls with the exception of North Eastern Province. A child in North Eastern Province is 16 times more likely to be out of school than a child in Central and Nairobi Provinces.
Ages of Children in Primary School
One out of two of children in each class is either under-age or over-age. There are more under-age children in lower classes, and more over-age children in upper classes. In class 7, more than half of the children are over-age. This may be due to repetition of classes. For instance, in 2011, 13 out of 100 children in class 2 are aged 6 years, as compared to 9 out of 100 children in 2009.

ANALYSIS BASED ON DATA FROM 123 OUT OF 158 DISTRICTS
A half of the children aged 3-5 years are attending preschool. One out of three children aged 4 years do not attend preschool. One out of five children aged 5 years are already in primary school, despite the government’s policy that children should enter class one at the age of 6 years .
Despite the government’s ban, paid extra tuition still persists in our primary schools. In class one, 2 out of 10 children in public schools and 6 out of 10 in private schools are subjected to paid extra tuition.
The higher the class, the more likely it is that a child will
receive paid extra tuition.
Fifteen out of 100 fathers have never attended school. Families whose fathers have never been to school have higher numbers of children not attending school. Similarly, the higher the level of education of fathers, the higher the learning abilities of children, and the more likely it is that their children attend extra tuition.

ANALYSIS BASED ON DATA FROM 123 OUT OF 158 DISTRICTS
Reading Level : English
Only 3 out 10 children in class 3 can read a class 2 story, while slightly more than half of them can read a paragraph. Four out 100 children in class 8 cannot read a class 2 story. More than half of class 3 children in Western, North Eastern, Nyanza and Eastern provinces cannot read a class 2 paragraph. A class 3 child in Central province has twice as much chances of reading a class 2 paragraph than a child in Western province. Visual difficulties are affecting reading. Only 1 out of 3 children with visual difficulties can read a story, as opposed to more than half of children without visual difficulties.
Most children who can read a story in English can also comprehend it. However, one out of ten children in class 4 and 5 cannot comprehend a class 2 story, even when they can read it. Gender differences are not significant.

If each of us did their part, our children would learn better!We welcome you to reflect on what you can do; discuss it with those around, and take action.Share your ideas and actions with us through SMS – 3016, or on Facebook (Uwezo Kenya)
The promulgation of a new Kenya Constitution on 27th August 2010 brought with it new joy, and ushered in a new era. Kenyan children have a right to quality basic education! As we focus on children not going to school, children who are enrolled are entitled to equal attention. Are our children learning?
This report presents findings of the Uwezo Kenya annual learning assessment. The assessment was conducted between February and March 2011, in 124 districts countrywide. A total of round 134,243 children aged 6-16 years were assessed in basic literacy (Kiswahili and English) and numeracy. Besides, the report presents findings based on school and household data. The report has three main sections. The introduction section gives an overview of the processes and tools, including an overview of key findings. The second section is a national report, while the last section presents one-page reports for each of the 47 counties.
The research was undertaken by Uwezo, meaning 'capability' in Kiswahili, an initiative that seeks to improve literacy and numeracy levels among children aged 6-16 years in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, through an innovative, civic-driven and public accountability approach to social change.
Uwezo is committed to open sharing of data. We welcome you to undertake independent analysis, to debate and share the findings. Full data sets and further information can be downloaded from www.uwezo.net.
