Abstract
This study examines Kenya's Free Primary Education policy's long-term effects on intergenerational mobility (IM). Children are likely to achieve a higher level of education than their mothers and fathers, especially those whose parents had no education. Analyzing the 1985–1994 cohort identifies a 1–3 % shift in IM compared to the 1985–1989 cohort, primarily driven by the rise of parental schooling. Kenya shows significant IM; thus, the background does not solely determine one's future. Kenya has a rate of return similar to the global average. Parental education's impact seems limited, and a child's education alleviates poverty.
