Mount Kenya University Newsletter, January 2017 Issue

The placement of the first batch of Government-sponsored students in private universities since independence marks a major milestone in Kenya’s higher education sector. Mount Kenya University (MKU) attracted the highest number of applications and admitted the bulk of the sponsored students in its September 2016 intake. MKU took in 1,126 (or more than 10 percent) of the 10,000 students sponsored by the Government. In an interview, MKU Vice Chancellor, Prof Stanley W. Waudo, described this as a move in the right direction for the country.
