Scrap useless university courses, President Ruto urges VCs
President William Ruto and Education CS Ezekiel Machogu during a meeting with the vice-chancellors of public universities and principals of constituent colleges at State House, Nairobi, on May 28, 2024 to evaluate the funding model introduced last year.
President William Ruto has directed public universities to do away with programmes that are unattractive to students as he challenged them to identify areas of specialisation.
Dr Ruto said this when he met vice-chancellors and principals of university colleges at State House, Nairobi, yesterday to discuss the status of public universities. He tasked the universities and the State Department of Higher Education to identify the programmes that do not have students, and to consolidate programmes so that the institutions can specialise in their niche areas.
