Over 500k students miss out on University
Out of the learners who sat for their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) in 2022, over 500,000 candidates missed out on admission to tertiary learning institutions.
The Education Cabinet secretary said the government would fund students from low-income families to help them complete their studies.
"For the first time, students whose households are at the bottom of the pyramid shall enjoy equal opportunity in accessing higher TVET education through 100% government funding," Machogu said in his statement.
Machogu further explained that the learners shall also receive upkeep from government loans and scholarship facilities.
"This means the households will not be required to pay anything in the program's cost, and additionally, students shall receive upkeep from the loan proceeds. Out of the 2022 KCSE graduates, over 45000 university students and 42000 TVET students categorised as vulnerable and extremely needy will be fully funded under government scholarships and loans," he added.
