Kenya has committed itself to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), Education for All (EFA), and other education targets, but although its achievement in this respect is perhaps  the best in Africa, it is unlikely to achieve these goals on present performance.  Through the history of Kenya, the education challenges facing arid districts, including most parts of the coastal belt, have been widely acknowledged. North Eastern province  has over time presented low indicators of access, quality and equity, and numerous efforts have been directed to the mitigation of these challenges. Despite all these, gender inequalities remain persistent, against overall low quality of education indicated by teacher shortage, poor learning infrastructure and low learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy. While large class sizes remain a challenge to most schools serving larger urban areas in Coast and North Eastern Provinces, low number of classrooms and high numbers of overage children press demand for specialized approaches, including Multigrade, Multishift and Mobile school approaches.

A brief about the book:

Allegorically, Who Moved My Cheese? features four characters: two mice, "Sniff" and "Scurry," and two little people, miniature humans in essence, "Hem" and "Haw." They live in a maze, a representation of one's environment, and look for cheese, representative of happiness and success. Initially without cheese, each group, the mice and humans, paired off and traveled the lengthy corridors searching for cheese. One day both groups happen upon a cheese-filled corridor at "Cheese Station C". Content with their find, the humans establish routines around their daily intake of cheese, slowly becoming arrogant in the process.
