"content": "Adult education sub-sector too is constrained in the lack of adequate number of adult education teachers due to their high turnover and low number of adult literacy centres. The National Literacy Survey conducted in 2006 revealed that the 7.6 Kenyan adults and out of school youth are functionally illiterate. This high rate of functional illiteracy in the country means that Kenya is unlikely to realize the desired economic recovery and poverty reduction because illiteracy hinders full participation of communities in productive activities that are aimed at improving their livelihoods. Again, HIV/AIDS poses a great challenge because it causes increased number of orphans, loss of trained teachers and high absenteeism rates among teachers and learners. Therefore, my Ministry will continue engaging itself in the HIV/AIDS issues, particularly into school curriculum and core curricular programmes."
