Govt Directs TVET Enrollment, Allocates Ksh 11.2B Climate Fund, and Clarifies Grade 10 Fees - January 2026

The Kenyan government is encouraging recent Form Four leavers to enroll in short, hands-on courses at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions before their university placements in September. Separately, the National Treasury has announced the allocation of Ksh11.2 billion in climate resilience funding to 46 Kenyan counties. This allocation is for the 2025/2026 financial year, as detailed in the Kenya Gazette on January 23. In another education-related announcement, PS Bitok clarified that the order allowing students to report for Grade 10 without fees is not an exemption from paying them later.
