The government, through the Ministry of Education, has announced plans to adjust the university fee structure as part of a broader scheme to ensure uninterrupted learning in institutions of higher education.
Appearing before the Senate Education Committee on Thursday afternoon, Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) Chief Executive Officer, Godfrey Monari, said the proposal was aimed at balancing affordability with institutional sustainability.
While appraising the committee on the status of HELB, Monari revealed that the government was also considering expanding the Loans Board's financing and improving bursary allocations.
During the meeting, officials from the Ministry of Education led by Education Principal Secretary Beatrice Inyangala also defended the new funding model introduced by President William Ruto's administration in 2023.
