Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Migos has directed public university Vice-Chancellors to admit all qualified students, regardless of their ability to pay the household contribution.
Migos assured that he is working closely with the Ministry of Treasury to expedite the release of the necessary funds.
"Vice-chancellors are required to arrange suitable accommodation for first-year students, with the assurance that fees will be paid once the upkeep component is disbursed," he said.
The Ministry reiterated its commitment to ensuring that no deserving student is denied the opportunity to pursue higher education due to financial constraints.
