Stronger Together: Building Educational Resilience Through Partnerships
This policy symposium focuses on Educational Resilience and the importance of partnerships in enhancing student wellness. As Kenya’s education system navigates ongoing challenges, strategic collaborations between government, NGOs, and the private sector are essential to bridge the gap between policy and action. The symposium will explore how partnerships can address systemic issues, foster holistic student development, and ensure educational environments that support both academic and mental well-being.
This session will delve into four primary objectives:
- Addressing Challenges in Education through Partnerships: Discuss how collaborative efforts among the government, private sector, and NGOs can address Kenya’s educational challenges, helping students develop the resilience needed to thrive in the future.
- Defining Roles for Holistic Student Development: Clarify the responsibilities of NGOs, private sector, and government entities in fostering supportive educational environments that prioritize students’ mental, physical, and emotional growth.
- Measuring Impact on Educational Outcomes: Analyze how wellness programs impact educational achievements and how these programs align with Kenya’s broader youth development goals.
- Integrating Mental Wellness and Nutritional Support: Explore the impact of holistic interventions, such as mental health and nutrition programs, in building a resilient, prepared generation.
