Due to the new funding arrangement, the application process this year is drastically changed.
In the new system, the government has abandoned the differentiated unit cost paradigm in favor of directly funding students through a combination of scholarships, loans, and bursaries rather than through capitation payments to universities.
To enable students to determine the cost their families will have to endure, all universities taking part in the centralized placement have listed the cost of all of their programs on the KUCCPS portal.
“Universities need to draw in students. Additionally, the courses must be related to the labor market. “Our ultimate goal is to have university education funded at 80% loans and 20% scholarships,” Dr. Wahome stated. “We want to put more money into loans.
