Abstract
This paper analyses the politicization of decision making in the education sector in Kenya since independence in 1963, to 2000. Utilizing a catalogue of major political decisions that have influenced trends and patterns of educational growth and policy formulation in Kenya, I demonstrate how such decisions have interfered in the running of education. I argue that these political decisions have marginalized the role and contribution of professionals and thus impacted negatively on policy formulation and implementation. My contention is that ideas of politicians are privileged even when they are shallow and myopic. I therefore blame politicians for the crises in the education sector in Kenya today.
