Mr. President, settle tuition fee quagmire in the approved public-private varsity sponsorship deal

The new deal between government of Kenya and private varsities that will see private varsities admitting government sponsored students is set to flop badly if, tuition fee arithmetic is not adequately settled.  Where else the government charges 70,000 ksh for each student in public universities per year, this money is a drop in the ocean to even sustain a student for one trimester in any private university in Kenya!

About 10,000 candidates who sat their Form Four examination in 2015 will receive government sponsorship in private universities thanks to Universities Act 2012. In a meeting with all private and public universities at statehouse, President Uhuru Kenyatta on Tuesday 17th March 2016 confirmed that it’s now official that 10,000 students will be enrolled into Kenya private varsities in the near future.
