Lukalo addressed the following questions, in respect to mothers in Kenya: Who are these women? How are these decisions made? What factors shape them, mediate or not? Does gender influence these decisions? How is the Education for All (EFA) policy interpreted and how does it play out in these mothers’ decisions?
