To address the shortcomings of Kenya’s bursary system and align with global best practices, reforms should be considered.
The bursary will benefit students in secondary schools, tertiary colleges and universities.
Eldas MP Adan Keynan has launched an Sh41 million bursary to support secondary, university, and college students.
Governor Kimani Wamatangi said the new programme will see beneficiaries receive assistance three times in an academic year.
The group faulted the implementation of the new higher education funding model saying it was hastily executed, excluding qualified and deserving students from accessing tertiary education training.
Time has come for the government to rectify this glaring anomaly by taking bursaries away from politicians and, preferably, placing them under the Ministry of Education.
