What is vision 2030? Why vision 2030?

Genesis of vision 2030 Part of the economic recovery strategy for wealth and employment creation (ERS) as a the 21 st centaury strategy. Informed by Millennium development Goals MDG’s

MDGs eradicate extreme hunger & poverty Achieve UPE Promote gender equality and empower women Reduce child mortality Improve maternal health Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria & other diseases Ensure environmental sustainability Develop global partnership for development

Education and vision 2030 Education and training is to provide “Globally Competitive Quality Education and Training for Sustainable Development” This is in line with International commitments to education and training e.g. attainment of EFA and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015 in alignment with vision 2030

Examples of Global Educ strategies towards 2030  Cuba aims for university level education for its entire population,  Trinidad aims at providing access to free education for every child at all levels  Barbados is to have one tertiary trained person in every household by  New Zealand education is decentralized; individual institutions are largely responsible for their own governance and management

Kenya's aim for vision 2030 It is Kenya ‘s long-term development blueprint for 2008 to It aims to transform Kenya into a newly industrialising, “middle-income country providing a high quality life to all its citizens by the year 2030”  Make Kenya globally competitive and prosperous

The educational level of a country determines the stage of its economic development and potential for future growth.
