| Research Abstract |
This study explored whereabouts of slum children who completed primary education in 2010. The study was conducted at Kibera in Kenya, one of the largest slums in sub-Saharan Africa. The study selected 12 low-fee private primary schools in the slum itself and 2 public schools on the outskirt of the slum. The findings show that nearly 70% of the primary school leavers went to secondary school. While low-fee private schools can be regarded as complementary to public schools, some schools are in poor learning conditions that need to be improved.
