Ogamba Clarifies Funding Model After Government Cancels University Fee Promise - September 2026

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos Ogamba clarified that funding applications for first-year university students and TVET trainees will proceed using the existing student-centred model. However, a directive by Ogamba for higher learning institutions to continue using the current funding system has caused confusion on campuses. The government has simultaneously cancelled its promise to fund all education for university students. The mixed signals on education policy have left students and parents uncertain about funding arrangements ahead of the academic year.
