Yes, consider proposals from the World Bank on higher education

The World Bank has added its voice to the push for an overhaul of Kenya’s higher education. In a report titled ‘Improving Higher Education Performance in Kenya,’ the global lender notes that a young Kenyan from the richest income group is 49 times likely to access higher education than one from the lowest.

“This is because poor students tend to progress less well through primary and secondary education than those coming from the richest income groups, with the highest cultural capital, and they are less well prepared academically when they take the KCSE,” explained the report.
