The number of Kenyan students in universities within the East African Community receiving funding from Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) has dropped to less than 100, highlighting the struggles of learners outside the country.
This is a big drop from 15,000 some six years ago. The higher education sector has expanded drastically over the decade to boast 78 universities — from 33 in 2012 and 68 in 2017 — alongside 191 technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions.
