President William Ruto has, for the fourth time, re-engineered the university funding model adopted in 2023, after three previous attempts aimed at fixing the financing of higher education that have resulted in uproar.
Earlier this week, the government unveiled a reduced fees structure in response to public outcry over the high cost of university education.
The Saturday Standard has established that the government has scrapped the six bands that were initially used as markers of a student's financial need.
Instead of the bands that defined a student's level of need, each learner will now be categorised on a new scale ranging from one to 100, with 100 representing the most needy and one representing those most able to afford their fees.
