THE government has set aside Sh50 billion to expand Technical, Industrial, Vocational, Entrepreneurship and Training colleges in every county to accommodate the youth who do not make it to universities.
Higher Education Science and Technology Minister Prof Margaret Kamar said yesterday that with the promulgation of the constitution, her ministry plans to put up Tivet institutions in counties that currently do not have. She added that the ministry will also continue to refurbish existing ones and upgrade others.
According to the minister, more than 90 per cent of students are not accommodated currently either in Tivet colleges or universities. “Currently we have so many people graduating from secondary schools and only 32, 645 can be accommodated in public universities, less than 20, 000 in private universities and only 10 percent to Tivet colleges,” she said.
