Item African Culture & the Girl-Child Education: The Case of Ilchamus community, Baringo County, Kenya(Jumuga Journal of Education, Oral Studies, and Human Sciences (JJEOSHS), 2024) Rebecca, Lempassy Lemelwai; Lucy, Ikiara Kanyiri; Clement, NkaabuThis research article underscores the cultural factors that influence girl-child education among the Ilchamus community. Various literatures were reviewed and gaps were successfully identified. It embraces descriptive research design. It utilises purposive and snowballing techniques since the initial research that culminated into an article was basically a mixed research. The sample size of the study was 350 respondents. It establishes that; the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM), often linked with traditional rites of passage, is typically followed by early marriage, which disrupts girls’ education. Additionally, early marriage typically curtails educational opportunities for girls, as they are often expected to take on domestic responsibilities and childbearing, leaving little room for schooling. In this regard, it concludes that; cultural practices like FGM and early marriages are deeply rooted barriers to girl-child education in the Ilchamus community, while the role of parents’ education and cultural transitions reflect more nuanced influences on educational outcomes.Item Barriers to the Adoption of E- Learning in Kenyan Schools: A Review Study(African Journal of Computing & Information Systems (AJCIS), 2017-09) Kamau, Joyce Waithera; Mbogo, Chao; Chege, DorothyE-learning is learning that is supported by use of electronic technology aided by computers.
