Education CS Speaks on Cut-off Grade for Joining University After KCSE 2024 Results

Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba on Friday, January 10, addressed questions on whether the Education Ministry is considering changing the C+ cut-off grade for public university admission following a surge in the number of students qualifying for university entry in 2025.

Speaking to members of the press, Migos clarified that he has no intentions of altering the current university entry grade, even as the number of students scoring C+ and above increased from 201,000 to 246,000.

The number of students joining universities in 2025 has risen from 201,000 to 246,000, which means universities will accommodate more students.

Ogamba says they will retain the C+ grade as the cut-off for admission to public universities.

He also addressed the challenges posed by this surge in enrollment amid a public funding crisis within universities.

CS Ogamba assures public of continued adjustments to University Funding Model

Ogamba assured that the government would allocate financial and human resources to ensure universities are equipped to handle the growing student intake while continuing to apply the university funding model with necessary amendments.

The university funding model, which is student-based, will continue with adjustments based on recommendations from various committees, including concerns raised by the courts.

The Education CS added they will review all the issues, incorporate them, and establish a funding model that is fit for purpose. The funding model will remain student-centered.

The 2024 KCSE candidates will be the third cohort under the student-centered funding model when they join universities in 2025.

Since its implementation, this model has faced significant criticism from students and education stakeholders who argue that it is discriminatory in how it selects students for funding their higher education.
