CS education Clarification from Ezekiel Machogu on Proposal to Raise University Fees and Privatize Institutions

On March 1, Ezekiel Machogu, the cabinet secretary for education, denied rumors that tuition at universities had increased.

Machogu made it clear during a speech at Kabianga University’s 10th Anniversary celebration that the proposed price increase from the existing Ksh16,000 to Ksh52,000 was only an idea.

He hinted that although the ideas had been made at a conference of vice chancellors in Mombasa, the administration had not yet indicated how to proceed.

“University tuition has not gone up due to government action. All that was done during the conference was for people to express their opinions, and I can confirm that no decisions have been made “Machogu made it clear.

In addition, he denied claims that the state will cut student support for those who passed the 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education with a C+ or higher (KCSE).

The head of education insisted that the government will continue to support the kids in the same way that it always had. He also addressed the issue of public universities becoming privatized.

Because we are aware of the crucial role that education plays in the socio-economic change of the nation, the government has never given it much thought, he said.

Parents’ worries about the fate of Grade Seven pupils who started junior secondary schools in February were allayed by Machogu in more ways.

He stated that in order to ensure a smooth transition, President William Ruto’s administration had provided schools with teachers, equipment, instructional materials, and money in the form of capitation.

After reading the address given by President Ruto, the CS said what he did. The Head of State promised to solve the financial difficulties that Kenya’s public universities were facing.

Days after news of the government raising college prices went viral, Machogu provided clarity. Both MPs and Kenyans were outraged by the charges.

The Ruto administration was charged with trying to restrict access to education to the wealthy by members of the public.
