Students and parents to disregard the earlier letters

The Ministry of Education emphasized that students and their guardians should disregard the previously communicated full cost of each degree program.

The ministry assured the public that the full cost mentioned in the initial admission letters is nullified and no longer applicable.

Despite this change, the placement of students in their respective academic programs remains unchanged.

Placements secured

The Ministry reassured students that their placements in various academic programs are secure. Universities were instructed to communicate the new fees to be paid by each student by August 5.

The announcement follows a directive from the National Assembly Education Committee. The committee had instructed the Ministry of Education to withdraw all university admission letters due to alleged fee anomalies.

The committee urged the Ministry to order universities to recall the admission letters to rectify the fee amounts. The universities must ensure they were allocated based on set classifications.

In summary

Admission letters issued to the 2023 KCSE cohort are invalid.
The directive affects students planning to pursue degree courses.
The full cost of each degree as previously communicated is nullified.
Placement of students in academic programs remains unchanged.
Universities must communicate new fees by August 5.

The decision followed a directive from the National Assembly Education Committee.

In conclusion, the Ministry of Education’s recent decision to nullify the KUCCPS admission letters for the 2023 KCSE cohort only affects students planning to pursue degree courses.

The previously communicated costs for each degree program are no longer applicable.

Students’ placements in their respective programs remain unchanged. However, the universities are required to communicate the revised fees by August 5. This move comes in response to fee anomalies highlighted by the National Assembly Education Committee.
