The Treasury has attributed an additional allocation of Sh33.4 billion to the departments of higher education and research and vocational and technical training in the latest supplementary budget to shortfalls in student financing under the new funding model.
Under the new funding model rolled out this year, students in public universities and vocational and technical training colleges are to receive government loans or scholarships or have their parents or guardians pay according to how needy they are or their ability to pay.
