Ministry of Education Announces Way Forward After High Court Ruling on University Funding Model
Education cabinet Secretary Ogamba has announced that the government would work on modifying the model to address the issues raised by the High Court.
Yesterday, Justice Chacha Mwita ruled that the model was unconstitutional, highlighting that the government had not conducted proper public participation before implementing it.
The High Court judge also noted that the model was discriminatory in categorising students into various bands.
Justice Mwita therefore directed CS Ogamba, the Attorney General, the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), the Trustees of the Universities Fund Kenya, and the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) not to implement it.
