Education and politics

Education in many countries has had different and varied influence in relation to politics.
Can we say that political temperatures in a country can either make education more suitable t access or not?
In Kenya for instance, the much said March 4th elections of next year is said to be going a major step in changing educational structures, that is if the right person is elected to guide the nation into achieving the same.
Do you think it will be possible that politics lay a positive role in shaping education in a country?
