Is there a difference between how boys and girls are taught in Kenya?

Answer 1

Yes there is. In theory, there is not supposed to be. But in practice, many countries are patriarchal-- they value boys more than girls, and think the boys deserve more education than the girls do. While there are some upper class elites in Kenya who educate their daughters equally to their sons, among those who are in the lower classes, it is more likely that the boys would be encouraged to study, while the girls would be expected to leave school and marry.

Further, even those girls who do study would not be encouraged to have careers in professions considered to be better suited for men. Again, there are exceptions, but it does appear that Kenya, like several other African countries, remains a country where expectations for girls are not as high as they ought to be, and girls are not encouraged to achieve the way boys are. I enclose a link to a study that showed how few girls are being educated in certain parts of Kenya.
