Axiological Implication of kenneth kaunda’s African Humanist Pfilosofhy an Citizenship Education In Kenya

Abstract

Increasingly, countries world-over are promoting citizenship in the planned curricula in schools as a medium of sustaining cohesion and unity within the society. This study employed the praxis of Kenneth Kaunda’s African humanist philosophy ideas in enhancing citizenship education in primary school education. Since this is a philosophical inquiry, the study adopted conceptual analysis as the main technique of investigation. Conceptual analysis is a traditional method of clarifying constructs in the form of a philosophical inquiry. Philosophers use this technique to clarify the meanings and boundaries of concepts to enhance understanding. The study found out that Zambian humanism is a critical worldview in championing citizenship education in Kenya since its ideas are consistent with the Basic Education curriculum Framework of 2017 and Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 on Leadership and Integrity
