The Ministry of Education (MoE) is requesting an additional Sh30 billion for the 2026/27 financial year to support crucial reforms and increasing operational costs across the education sector.

• The MoE proposes an overall resource ceiling of Sh767.3 billion, a 9% increase from the current Sh703 billion.
• The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is allocated the largest share at Sh422.9 billion, accounting for 55.1% of the total budget.
• Basic Education is set to receive Sh134.8 billion, primarily to fund capitation under the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system.
• Despite the increased ceiling, concerns persist regarding nearly one million out-of-school children and infrastructure funding disparities.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is requesting an additional Sh36 billion for its 2026/27 budget to facilitate expedited teacher recruitment and fulfill salary commitments stipulated in the current collective bargaining agreement.

• The TSC seeks Sh422.96 billion, an increase from Sh387.18 billion, to hire 16,000 new teachers for junior and senior schools.
• A significant portion, Sh8.4 billion, is allocated for the second phase of the 2025–2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
• Sh7.2 billion will be used to convert 20,000 intern teachers to permanent and pensionable terms.

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is venturing into the carbon credits market, aiming to secure a new revenue stream and diversify funding away from traditional tourism.

• KWS is recruiting an expert to guide the development of a carbon project.
• Carbon credits allow for the emission of one tonne of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gas per credit.
• This move comes amidst Kenya's growing involvement in the carbon market, including a recent disagreement between the State and Koko Networks over Article 6 permits, and plans by the Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) for a $832.76 million (Sh107.3 billion) green fertiliser project also targeting carbon credit sales.
