Children deprived in education dimension: top 10 counties

Kenya's human capital faces a threat from low education attainment levels among the youth, a new study shows.

According to the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA), the education level among younger people in Kenya is lower than that of the older generation.

Globally, the study notes that in basic literacy and numeracy Kenyans who are aged between 15-24 rank position 109, while those between 25-54 rank 78.

Further, those between 55- 64 ranked 72, with those above 65 ranked 74.

This means that the younger age group ranks lowest in basic literacy.
