Private universities are pushing for a major overhaul of State's higher education funding, arguing that models implemented so far have been unsustainable and inequitable.

The National Association of Private Universities in Kenya (Napuk) has submitted a document to the Ministry of Education that proposes radical changes that if adopted would see students funded largely through study loans with only a small portion going to scholarships for priority programmes and grants.
