Fees have risen from Sh56,000 to Sh105,000 per year for tuition alone.” KUTVET Secretary General Kepher Ogwui said. Ogwui said the rising costs have led to declining enrolment and high dropout rates in public technical institutions across the country. KUTVET warned that the challenges in public TVETs are pushing parents to private institutions, some of which lack qualified trainers. “Some parents insist on taking their children to private institutions simply because they want a certain exam. He added that some private colleges rely on trainers from public institutions to teach their students.
