Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a culmination of research on the Influence of State involvement on boy-child empowerment through education in Meru County, Kenya. The problem statement centred on the reality that the boy-child was still disadvantaged in educational empowerment on a global, regional, and local level. Despite this, the State paid little attention. The study's purpose was to evaluate the State's role in boy-child empowerment through education. The specific objectives of the work were to: evaluate the current position of boy-child empowerment through education; examine the State's strategies and effectiveness in influencing boy-child empowerment through education; analyze the implications for the empowerment of the boy-child through education by the State and assess community efforts to empower the boy-child through education. The study area was Meru County, notably Igembe Sub County. The book utilized 266 respondents out of the 850 target population using the Babbie (2011), Mugenda & Mugenda (2012), and Krejce and Morgan table (1970) formulas. A pilot study carried out established both content validity and reliability.
