Kenya's Education Funding Crisis: A Broken System?

Kenya Faces Education Funding Crisis: Former Senator Sounds Alarm Kenya's education system is facing a severe funding crisis, according to Samuel Poghisio, former Senate Majority Leader. In a recent TV47 interview, Poghisio described the current university funding model as "broken and corruptible." He pointed to several key problems, including the failure of the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), a system of biased student categorization, and widespread exam chaos. "The university funding model is broken and corruptible," Poghisio stated. "HELB failures, biased categorizations, and exam chaos are fueling a crisis." Poghisio's concerns highlight the struggles faced by many Kenyan students. The new university funding model, while intended to improve the system, has proven controversial, leading to increased financial burdens for students and their families. The interview underscores the urgent need for reform and transparency in education funding to ensure a brighter future for Kenya's youth.
