Abstract/ Overview
This policy has been developed with an overarching goal of promoting the provision of P.E and sport in basic education institutions. Development of this policy is therefore embedded in the ongoing educational reforms to align the provision of education with the tenets of the Constitution of Kenya, and to position education provision as a key stimulus and enabler for Kenya’s socio-economic transformation agenda as stipulated in Kenya Vision 2030 as well as the aspirations of the African Union Agenda 2063 and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The policy draws from provisions in existing policy and legal frameworks including: Sessional Paper No 1 of 2019 on a Policy Framework for Reforming Education and Training; Kenya National Curriculum Policy (2019); National Education Sector Strategic Plan (NESSP)2018-2022; Anti-Doping ACT, 2016; Sports Act, 2013; Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2005 on sport and development and Kenya National Sports Policy (2002) among others. This policy also actualizes the Kazan Action Plan (2017) that calls for states to ensure access to sport as a fundamental right for all and fosters convergence in sport policy development, measure progress, structure and prioritize dialogue and cooperation between different actors and specify linkages with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
