Ministry of Education Disburses KSh 9.46 Billion to University Students Amid Fee Payment Directives - August 2025

The Ministry of Education announced the disbursement of KSh 9.46 billion to support over 300,000 university students. Despite the announcement, some students reported that they had yet to receive the funds less than 24 hours later. The Ministry has also emphasized that all students should pay tuition fees according to the specific rates set by the colleges they join. This directive is aimed at streamlining fee payments. In a separate education-related matter, a discussion has arisen questioning if the 24,000 internship slots proposed for teachers constitute cheap labor.
