    CULTURE
    A melting pot of people
    Waves of migration have led to Kenya becoming one of the most diverse African

    Kenya is also home to large populations of Europeans, Arabs, Indians and Pakistanis.

    Video of two children talking about different tribes and their own beliefs and customs.
    While your watching keep this question in mind:
    What are some differences between the African tribes mentioned?

    Belief systems among some remote tribes also remain indigenous.
    Across Kenya, a whole two-thirds of people are Christian.
    With the centuries-old influence of Arabic and Islamic traders and settlers around 15% of Kenyans
    are Muslim.

    Government Influence on Education
    The Kenyan government made a promise to provide free primary education to its citizens.
    This promise did not materialize till 2003, due to the low economy and increasing population of
    Kenya.
    The 8-4-4 system was introduced in 1985.
