Geography

Politics Democratic republic- The Republic of Kenya Capital: Nairobi Current President: Uhuru Kenyatta Kenya won its independence from British colonial rule in 1963 The country has a multi-party political system

CULTURE A melting pot of people Waves of migration have led to Kenya becoming one of the most diverse African countries culturally and linguistically. The country has at least 40 different ethnic African groups Kenya is also home to large populations of Europeans, Arabs, Indians and Pakistanis. http://www.our-africa.org/kenya/people-culture Video of two children talking about different tribes and their own beliefs and customs. While your watching keep this question in mind: What are some differences between the African tribes mentioned?

Belief systems among some remote tribes also remain indigenous. Across Kenya, a whole two-thirds of people are Christian. With the centuries-old influence of Arabic and Islamic traders and settlers around 15% of Kenyans are Muslim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrDFYiU9Cd8

Ethnicity/Culture

Education Kenya has a developed education system: 8 years of primary 4 years of secondary 4 years of university education It is undergoing slow but sure development through the effort of the government.

Adult (age 15+) literacy rate in Kenya is about 87% Youth (age 15 – 24) literacy rate in Kenya is about 92.7%

Government Influence on Education The Kenyan government made a promise to provide free primary education to its citizens. This promise did not materialize till 2003, due to the low economy and increasing population of Kenya. The 8-4-4 system was introduced in 1985.

Activity Use the Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the culture and education of Kenya and the United States (in general). Think about diversity/ethnicity, education programs, statistics….
