KENYA MINISTRY OF EDUCATION REVOKES FEE STRUCTURES FOR FIRST-YEAR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

  


The Ministry of Education has revoked the previously issued fee structures for first-year students assigned to universities by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS). This decision impacts students set to join public universities in the upcoming 2023/2024 academic year, starting this September.

In an official statement, Higher Education Principal Secretary Beatrice Inyangala advised parents and guardians to disregard any prior fee information communicated through university admission letters. "Any fee information previously communicated by universities in admission letters is now null and void," the statement reads.

The ministry's decision aligns with recommendations made by Members of Parliament in June. The MPs suggested that all universities should recall admission letters issued to incoming students to correct the fee figures. This move aims to clearly indicate the fees expected at the household level and those covered under financial aid.
