The National Assembly Education Committee has assured the public that their views will be thoroughly considered as Parliament deliberates on six proposed education laws, including the Tertiary Education, Placement and Funding Bill 2026 and the Basic Education Bill 2026.

• The committee, chaired by Tinderet MP Julius Melly, is conducting public participation forums across the country to gather feedback from stakeholders.
• Key concerns raised include teacher remuneration and proposed changes to Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loan repayments, with students suggesting a cap of 4%.
• Stakeholders also called for better recognition and remuneration for non-teaching staff, citing some earning less than KSh 5,000.
