President Uhuru Kenyatta's opening up private colleges timely move

President Uhuru Kenyatta's decision to send 10,000 State-funded students for placement in private universities is a timely move that will address the growing demand for university education. Needless to say, education has transformed the lives of many Kenyans. For many, education remains the great leveller; the choice-giver; the door-opener. Education offers opportunity to those feeling that the rungs have been removed from the ladder of life.

And so regrettably over time, the number of students who attain university cut-off points and miss out on university education has been growing.
