[Collins Oduor, Standard]A second attempt to stop universities from offering bridging, diploma and certificate courses has failed after the High Court dismissed a case that would have locked out learners from transitioning within the institutions. Read More"The Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act, 2014, did not in any way allow universities to offer certificates that would enable students to be admitted in the university." In one case, a student sat Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations in 2010 and scored a D+. The Act paved way for universities to offer certificate programmes. Justice Lenaola had dismissed a case filed by Kenya National Association of Private Colleges that represents 200-odd private colleges that are licensed to offer bridging, certificate and diploma courses.
