Government Announces Reduced University Funding and Fees - July 2025

Kenyan universities are set to experience reduced funding, a development that will significantly impact their operations and potentially lead to financial challenges across the higher education sector. Despite this, the Ministry of Education has announced that university students in Kenya will benefit from reduced tuition fees starting September. This decision comes amidst public opposition to proposals that sought to reduce student funding. The government's move to lower school fees appears to be an attempt to mitigate concerns regarding student access to higher education.
