President William Ruto has ruled out any compromise on education access and quality, even as Treasury admits the government is struggling to fund learners under a ballooning public debt.

Speaking on Sunday at ACK St.

Martins Light Industries Church in Kariobangi, Nairobi, Ruto said education remains Kenya's most critical national asset and must not be undermined. "Education cannot be compromised.

We cannot compromise access, we cannot compromise quality, we cannot compromise affordability, and we cannot compromise relevancy.
