The newly appointed Education CS Prof George Magoha has a ‘thing’ about University Education.
Since his appointment, he has been announcing controversial measures that affect University Education.
His first move which was welcomed by some people is the idea of scrapping some courses.But recently he even announced the scrapping of some Universities.
But now he has new call to the Universities.
Prof Magoha said the government will ready itself to reduce capitation to universities in order to fund construction of two additional classes to cater for students in lower secondary.
“The government has not said it has no money to keep students in secondary schools,” he said.
Budget estimates presented in Parliament by Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich indicate that starting July, schools will get Sh1.5 billion for infrastructure development while Sh2.4 will be for the new curriculum and the digital literacy programme.
