The impact of free primary education has been manifold and complex. The quality and magnitude of the programme has affected not only the normal physically fit pupil, but also the physically challenged learners in inclusive schools as well as the wider community and society. The study adopted a Descriptive research design. This enhanced the researcher to obtain a better understanding of the problems and impact of free primary education on the quality of special education for the deaf learners in central province Kenya. The method chosen allowed a collection of comprehensive and intensive data and provided an in-depth understanding of the topic under study. Information collected was analyzed and edited to create consistency and completeness. After collecting the questio1maires they were edited for completeness and consistency across the respondents and to locate omissions. Information obtained from the research study was presented and analyzed using bar charts, narratives, and statistical figures. This report provides suggestions for more effective approach to deaf education in the country. It is designed for policy makers, planners and practitioners who have responsibilities in the area of deaf education in Kenya.
