Abstract:
I have traced the history and evolution of HRD through IVET during independence days. I relied on Kenya's NDPs and the education commissions appointed by political leaderships (Kenya's two past presidents) to look at the development and processes of education and ways that have been suggested to improve education. I have discussed these through the NDPs and the commissions appointed by the presidents of the time. The information has been presented using a chronological, thematic and, again chronological method. Additional information includes changes in curriculum during the same period. The first part considers the period from independence in 1963 to 1987 and the second part 1988 to 2005.
