Planning for education in Kisumu municipality
Abstract
Planning for education anywhere is always a
long term process. This is mainly because it is
necessary to preempt a situation where the demand
for education facilities is not met adequately. It
is also necessary to look at the different levels of
the education hierachy and how they relate to each
other and therefore how planning at one level affects
the other levels. There is also a need to relate
the planning of these £acilities to education policy
to ensure that the policy is implementable in planning
terms. The growth of an urban area, its land use
distribution at present and·· in future very much affects
the location and distribution of education facilities.
Forward planning for these facilities must therefore
take cognisance of such parameters.
Other factors which directly affect the site
location of education facilities such as accessibility
and future land for expansion are also crucial to
education planning.
