Abstract

An investigation into the publishing and distribution of educational books in Kenya under market liberalisation that outlines the historical background and describes how the industry has moved from import orientation to government control and on towards becoming an industry of private commercial publishers. The study set out to investigate the growth, market oportunities, and factors affecting distribution. The political implications that educational policies have on textbook provision are explored.
Fieldwork was carried out in Machakos ans Uasin Gishu districts and in the Nairobi area where 29 schools (both primary and secondary) were visitied.
