A Clean up of the Kenyan University Education System is one thing that many Kenyans have time and again called for.
Univeristies keep coming up in different parts of the country with different courses, some of which have ballantly been relevant and only meant to mint cash from unsuspecting students.
It is for this reason that the Commission for University Education decided to launch an inquiry into the courses offered in Kenyan Universities. The inquiry led to daming revelations of how students have been pertaking useless courses all in the name of getting a degree.
CUE would later order for the said courses to be done away with only for later change tone.
The Commission has now okayed students joining university this year to be admitted for courses that it is yet to accredit.
“The commission has worked with the relevant agencies to ensure that the compliance issues raised on the majority of the programmes have been addressed. As a result, the commission allowed the Placement Agency to admit students to the affected programmes in the 2019/2020 academic year,” CUE statement issued on Wednesday.
The statement comes in the thick of a revelation on some 133 courses that students are pursuing but are yet to be approved.
The statement issued said the admission of these courses was on a demand basis.
