The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
Kenya faces a pressing crisis in its higher education system stemming from the staggeringly low completion rates for PhD and Master's degrees. Many postgraduate students fail to graduate on time, according to the Commission for University Education (CUE).
This is because many students remain trapped in academic limbo for years, sometimes up to a decade, due to inadequate supervision, funding shortages, and bureaucratic inefficiencies. This risks turning Kenya's universities into factories of unfinished dreams, where systemic failures stifle potential rather than nurture transformative impact.
