ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM COP 2008

SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS $100,000

This activity addresses education as a secondary cross-cutting budgetary attribution. The primary

beneficiaries of this activity will be primary school teachers and their pupils. This activity will train teachers

to implement HIV and AIDS syllabus in schools. This activity will therefore improve on the quality of basic

education which will include skill based training and HIV prevention education. In this activity teachers will

be trained on infusing/mainstreaming HIV and AIDS into the curriculum at the pre-service teacher training

level.

COP 2008

The only changes to the program since approval in the 2007 COP are:

• Academy for Educational Development has been competitively selected to implement the activity.

2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

The Kenya Ministry of Education (MOE) recently completed their fourth year of implementing the Kenya

Education Sector Support Program (KESSP) in which one of the objectives is to implement the AIDS policy

for the education sector including training teachers to implement the HIV/AIDS syllabus in schools. AIDS is

a major challenge to all the sectors of Kenyan society. In the education sector, the epidemic has severely

affected quality, access, equity, supply and demand for education, thus reversing the gains made in the

sector in the last ten years. Every Kenyan household is either affected or infected by the epidemic, and this

affects individuals physically and psychologically. Strengthening the sector's capacity to respond to the

epidemic will require a review of the policy on HIV/AIDS and curricula for various categories of educational

institutions (primary, secondary, vocational/technical and non-formal education) in collaboration with the

Kenya Institute for Education. MOE will need to initiate skills-based training relevant to AIDS in pre-service

teacher training programs. This activity will fund the development of curricula for pre-service teacher training

to be used eventually in all diploma and certificate teacher training colleges as well as the production of the

same. First-year students will be targeted, with the expectation of training a total of 12,000 teacher trainees

per year (approximately 600 per college), once the curriculum is available and all institutions are

participating. In 2007 we trained 6,000 teacher trainees who will take a second-year course in 2008 while

the other 6000 will be starting their first-year course. (In 2009 the first 6000 teacher trainees will have

graduated and begun to reach students in their assigned schools.) The trained teachers will each be

expected to work with seven in-service teachers during their teaching practice sessions, bringing the

number reached to 80,000 teachers. As the "Education Sector Policy for HIV and AIDS" will be one of the

materials used in the course, the cost of reproduction of this booklet will also be covered. Behavior change

sensitization programs for communities, teachers, and personnel will help address HIV/AIDS in the

education sector. Using a life skills approach as part of the school health program, sensitization will help

build the capacity of teachers to address HIV/AIDS and substance abuse in educational institutions.

Guidance and counseling services in educational institutions will be strengthened to help those suffering

from stigma and trauma associated with HIV/AIDS.

3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA

This is one of the activities that contribute to the promotion of abstinence, being faithful and behavior

change practices among youth.

4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

This activity carries forward previously approved activities in the 2007 COP under APHIA II TBD. It will

build on the 2007 activity with KIE to update and reproduce the Life Skills curriculum. The program directly

responds to the AIDS policy for the education sector which was developed with the Mobile Task Team using

2004 PEPFAR funding, and the development of the District Education Management and Monitoring

Information System that is implemented through the APHIA II evaluation. The program will complement the

in-service teacher training being carried out by CfBT. With the inclusion of the AIDS policy in the pre-service

teaching curriculum, this activity will strengthen the in-service training of teachers at the worksite through all

seven APHIA II regional projects.

5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED

The populations which will be directly affected include teacher trainees and indirectly their future students.

6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES

Messages will address gender norms and behaviors as well as stigma and discrimination. This is a wrap

around in the education sector.

7. EMPHASIS AREAS

The major emphasis is on human resource development with minor emphases on information, education

and communication as well as policy and guidelines.
