Education is key in every aspect of life. It is also key as far growth of the economy of a country is concerned. Its value of education cannot be measured as it is beyond explanation.

Kenya recorded 39.1 percent unemployment rate according to recent report by United Nations; Human Development Index (HDI) 2017. The latest statistics continue to reflect a shockingly high youth unemployment rate which as company’s downside due to the harsh economic environment.

Kenya has the highest unemployment rate in East African. Countries like Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda have recorded a lower unemployment rate as compared to Kenya.

On the other hand, a survey by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) disclosed that seven million Kenyans are unemployed out of which 1.4 million have been desperately looking for work. The rest have given up on job hunting, with some opting to go back for further studies.
