| dc.description | The issue of interest is whether schools in Kenya contribute to
the growth of a national political culture, as is officially assumed, or
intensify variations in regional outlook. The guiding assumption is that
the interaction between school and society, in which student values are
forged, is conditioned by the dual character of the school as part of both
a national and a local socio-economic context. Data are drawn from a survey
of 1210 secondary students at a national sample of Kenyan secondary schools.
Analysis suggests that two distinct types of social condition are simultaneously
reflected in Kenyan classrooms. Side by side with a national set
of status expectations and job perceptions, which are immune to variations
in local circumstance, are socio-political values stemming from distinctive
regional outlooks and opportunities. | |
