In an attempt to answer the question posed by the title of this book, “Are We Preparing Students to Meet Current Global Needs and Challenges”, the contributing authors, explore the development of education in Kenya, the challenges facing the education system, and the concrete ways education stakeholders can transform education. The aim is to prepare students who are ready to embrace current societal needs and address global challenges. The book offers case studies, research findings, and preliminary studies designed to provoke discussion and strategies appropriate to transforming education in Kenya at all levels. Precisely, the book explores four broad themes: 1) foundations of education in Kenya and understanding education policies; 2) teachers training and professional development imperatives; 3) contemporary challenges facing higher education in Kenya; and 4) tapping into diaspora talents & educational technology. This book features contributions from educators with a heart for advancing education in Kenya and who serve as content authors. Ideas of the book emerged from Kenya Scholars and Studies Association (KESSA) 9th Annual Conference held in Atlanta Georgia in September 2016.
