The focus should now shift to higher education. Rapid expansion of universities and the converse neglect of middle-level colleges have created chaos in higher education and this must be addressed. Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i subsequently issued a directive to the Commission for University Education to identify the universities that may have flouted admission procedures. Restoring order and sanity in higher education requires a comprehensive and well-crafted strategy that takes into account funding, staffing, infrastructure, admission, courses, teaching and learning resources, management, and quality of graduates. It should also determine the number of universities vis-à-vis middle-level colleges in line with national human capital needs.
