University managers have warned that public universities will shut by end of next year due to rising debt. Universities have Sh 4B in salary arrears and owe other institutions Sh 7B.
Money generated internally by the universities has dropped sharply following the decline in the number of parallel students. This was due to the Matiangi education reforms. As it stands private and public universities have more spaces than students.
Check the chart below,. Some universities like Garissa, South Eastern Kenya University (first time I’m hearing of it), Kisii University, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Kabianga, University of Eldoret, Ringo etc have almost 60% of their programs with less than 10 students.
dem days being in campus was quite an achievement…sasa obako alifungua universities kama supermarket chains akadillute vitu.kuna tu-universties twingine unaskiaga an incidence imetokea,ukiangalia the students unashindwa tunaelekea wapi,kuna wakati Meru ‘university’ juzi leader wao alimadwa,ukiskia wale watu wanahojia ati students,ata mtu hawezi construct statement vizuri…sorry state
hii kitu NGO wamekulia sana and also used by cunning leaders to source cash fo “their marginalised people”.naona ata wewe umeamini the notion.ok quick maths,out of the over 25 universities recently added,niambie marginalised ni ngapi?
Make them technical institutions that’s what we need more. After matiangi streamlining the education system, it has clearly shown that many students did not belong there but at the technical institutes. The bachelor’s degree certificate had become just any other paper.
This is elitist and not progressive at all. people should realize universities are for dedicated scholars, inventors, discoverers, and people who have a passion for something. there are not for securing jobs or for making anyone rich. Your “dem days graduates” are the ones looting everything. Mlidinyana tu huko university hakuna kitu ya maana mlifanya wacha kurusha mawe helb ikichelewa. masomo ikuwe liberated.
true coz literally,the 4 or 5 major universities can comfortably accommodate all those who attain the university pass mark.so far akina Catholic universities are facing a financial crisis.juu kila mtu aliitwa na KUCPPS
