Abstract:
Non-schooling gap is one of the indices that track progress on the attainment of education
goals. The study carried out a projection of the non-schooling gap in Turkana County, Kenya
by 2030. The study was guided by three objectives which were to establish the enrolment and
the population of boys and girls aged 6-13 from 2008 to 2015, to determine the non-schooling
gap for boys and girls from 2008 to 2015 and to project the non-schooling gap for boys and
girls to
2030. The research design adopted was mixed method and the instruments used in collecting
data were document analysis and interview schedule. The findings of the study revealed that
there are more boys than girls that are enrolled at the primary school level in Turkana County
hence there is gender disparity which is projected to persist to the target year if effective
planning is not carried out.
