KUCCPS Announces Timeline for 2022 KCSE Candidate Course Applications

The CEO of the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), Mercy Wahome, announced that the portal for the application of courses for the 2022 KCSE candidates will be opened within a week’s time.

The opening of the portal is dependent on universities and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) providing information on the cost of their academic programs.

President William Ruto directed KUCCPS to publish the information to assist students in selecting their universities of choice.

The delay in opening the portal was to give the government more time to deliberate on the new funding model. The President lauded stakeholders, including Vice Chancellors and David Ndii, the chairperson of the Presidential Council of Economic Advisers, for coming up with the new model.

The President affirmed that the process of placing students in universities and TVETs would not be linked to funding, in line with the new model.

The new funding model requires Universities and TVETs to raise additional resources to enhance the quality of education and attract more students.

The model includes four funding streams: student-centered funding, research funding, capital infrastructure grants, and fee-for-services, including consultancy.

The framework on student-centered funding has already been developed, and the government will turn its attention to the other three funding options.

The President expressed his pleasure in developing the new funding model, which he said had been postponed for many years.

He acknowledged the contributions made by Vice Chancellors in coming up with the model, stating that their ideas were assembled to get the funding model in place.
