Coming to their senses? That they are further reconsidering throwing out of destructive University Funding Model is telling.

These expensive experiments were just plain evil!

COMRADES, NOTHING HAS BEEN REDUCED.
Nothing has been reduced  as far as University Fees are concerned. Just a simple comparison:
What they released as reduced university fees was as PER SEMESTER.  An academic year has semesters (2) or trimesters (3).
✅ Cluster 1 to 6 are mainly courses which are studied on a TRIMESTER platform, meaning you multiply the fees by 3, i.e;
A minimum of 12,960×3 and a maximum of 75,000×3
This means that courses under this will consume a minimum of Ksh. 38,880 and a maximum of Ksh. 225,000 PER YEAR.
The minimum part are diploma courses in smaller institutions like university colleges, et al. The maximum part are the fees which will be demanded by main institutions like UoN, KU, Moi, Egerton and other public universities.
✅ Cluster 7-14 are courses offered on a SEMESTER setting, meaning you multiply by 2, i.e;
A minimum of 5,814×2 for funny courses like Anthropology (these ones have zero demand) and a maximum of 57, 600×2
This translates to a minimum of 11,628 and a maximum of 115,200 per year.
The former (11,628) will be applied in smaller institutions like polytechnics, university colleges/satellite campuses, et al. The latter (115,200) will be the fees applied in the main public institutions (universities).
✅ Then the most shocking part is ACCOMODATION.
In UoN for instance, accomodation PER SEMESTER is between Ksh. 16,992 and Ksh. 28,700.
This simply means that parents will be paying between Ksh. 33,994 and Ksh. 57, 400 per year for SEMESTER ACCOMODATION; and Ksh. 50,976 and Ksh. 86,100 for TRIMESTER ACCOMODATION.
✅ UNDER UHURU, it was very simple for government sponsored students:
Total fees PER YEAR (covering all semesters/trimesters): Ksh. 28,000
Accommodation fees PER YEAR (covering all semesters/trimesters): Ksh. 5,000.

Don't believe misinformation online. Objective students have seen a 40-50% reduction, and then direct scholarships are coming big time. There will be hiccups like SHA, affordable housing in the beginning, but once cartels are vanquished and digitisation runs its course, this new funding model will be a game changer. Universities and their cartels will not run into debts trying to cheat the Government

There will be teething problems the first year, but like SHA, it will be running like clockworkthe next year and beyond.

Another layer of useless Junior School administrative expenditure to be footed by parents as the budget allocation has maxed and even as is the capitation does not get remitted.
 
Quote
“Junior school teachers are often sidelined because most of the staff within the current school structure are primary school teachers. Junior school is a transitional stage where learners begin career pathway-based learning. It requires special attention, which is not being given under the current system that treats junior schools as an extension of primary schools,” Mr Odhiambo said.
