Two parents have moved to court seeking to have home schooling recognised as a legitimate alternative system of education while challenging the criminalisation of the non-enrolment of a child in either a public or a private school in Kenya.
Silus Shikwekwe Were and Onesmus Mboya Orinda argue in the petition that the school enrolment requirement limits the scope of education and is contrary to the child’s right to freedom of conscience, opinion, belief and free will.
