Primary and secondary education in Kenya is often criticized because pupils do not learn practical skills that would help them find work in the �outside world�. Primary schools pupils generally learn such things as reading, writing and arithmetic, until the age of 13 but around 70% are unable to enroll in secondary school, mainly due to the country�s expensive schools fees. Unable to continue with formal education, the majority of children return to their villages without the skills to enable them seek gainful employment.
To address the problem of high unemployment for young people SAGE is developing programs that put an emphasis in practical and vocational skills training through schools on its Child Sponsorship Program and with Youth Polytechnics. Young people will be able to access jobs for themselves by putting into practice the skills they have learnt.
Girls and boys graduating from the schools found themselves lacking the skills to assist in supporting their families or fed for them selves. The headmaster at SAGE keen to give priority to a vocational training project designed to teach the girls and boys appropriate skills for the �outside world�. This project focused on tailoring and sewing; skills that are relevant within the district.
To put the project into motion, the schools needed an instructor as well as the sewing machines, scissors, measuring tapes, thread and cloth. Once these were provided, the pupils were assessed to find out who has the most interest in and aptitude for sewing and tailoring; focusing on the girls and boys least able to continue with post-primary education. The program curriculum ensures that the students learn to master all the skills, such as cutting cloth, design, swing, needle work, use of a sewing machine, customer service and how to market their products. Upon completion of the training, the students are able to make schools uniforms as well as dresses, shorts and shirts.
Over 70% of local children have no chance of education after finishing primary school at age 14. The charity was encouraged by villagers to help provide some skills training and built a small vocational training schools which was opened in 2003 in Langas and now offers training in: carpentry & masonry, and arts & crafts.
