Mr Hynes praised Kenya for allocating huge resources to education. The envoy said the Sh500 billion Kenya Education Support Programme launched last year by the Education ministry would help spur education standards and quality.
Since free schooling was started, 1.7 million more children have enrolled in primary schools. At the beginning of 2003, only 5.9 million children were enrolled in the country's 18,500 schools.
The donation comes a month after World Bank approved a delayed Sh5.6 billion loan for the education sector.
