The thrust of this paper was to examine the impact of education policies and improvements of the standard of living on the education of children among communities in Mandera County, Kenya. This study adopted a cross sectional survey research design. Convenient sampling technique was used to select sample of 150 including chiefs, counselors and local people respondents from a total population of 720. The main research instruments used were questionnaires and interview guidelines to be used for face to face interviews and focus group discussions. The Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Computer package Version 20.0 was used to analyze quantitative data by generating both descriptive and correlation statistics. The findings revealed a positive relationship between government policy and attainment of universal education by trying to bridge the gender gap in education in the region. The findings revealed that although majority of the respondents strongly agreed that government policy of compulsory education in primary and secondary has enabled all children access free education in most divisions in the county, the gender differential gap still posed as a challenge to be surmounted. It was concluded that the government policy on vulnerable groups and of promotion women through provision of capital to enhance their social economic development was slowly making a positive impact on education and livelihoods of poor households. It was recommended that the government should intensify development projects to help the women and their children, especially parents of disadvantaged children to be more economically empowered with a view to making them self reliant and more effective parents. The adoption of gender equity policy on resource allocation and distribution should be the overriding strategy to realize the overall impact of education on socio-economic development of the study locale of Mandera County Kenya.(289 words).
