Government Lowers University Fees Amidst Funding Discussions - August 2025

The Kenyan government announced a reduction in university fees for students in public universities, aiming to ease the financial burden and increase access to higher education. This move follows broad opposition from Kenyans to proposals for reduced student funding, indicating a governmental response to public sentiment. University students are set to benefit from these reduced tuition fees starting September, despite the broader higher education sector facing reduced funding that could lead to operational and financial challenges.
