1. 24. MOTION - CONSOLIDATION OF BURSARY FUNDS FOR EQUITABLE

ACCESS TO EDUCATION IN KENYA

(Sen. Karungo Thangwa, MP)

THAT AWARE THAT, Pursuant to Article 53 of the Constitution, every child in Kenya is entitled to free and compulsory basic education, and the Basic Education Act provides that, basic education should be guided by principles such as equitable access to all youth and equal access to education or institutions; ………../Motions

(No.Supp.133) WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 04, 2024 (AFTERNOON SITTING) (3070)

FURTHER AWARE THAT, many students in secondary schools and higher education institutions come from financially disadvantaged backgrounds, making it difficult for them to afford school fees and access education opportunities;

NOTING THAT, over the years, various interventions have been made, including the issuance of bursaries through the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NCDF), National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF), the Ministry of Education and county governments through various county bursary funds;

CONCERNED

THAT,

despite these efforts, schools’ fees remain unaffordable for many parents and the allocation of bursaries has been plagued by nepotism, favoritism, and political manipulation, lack of transparency and accountability;

FURTHER CONCERNED THAT public learning institutions are primarily funded by the Government through the Ministry of Education, and in the financial year 2024/25, approximately Kshs. 656 billion was allocated to the education sector, making it difficult to ascertain the specific funds granted to each student and that the lack of transparency in the disbursement of bursaries from various agencies makes it difficult to determine the total amount allocated in a financial year, thus hindering efforts to ensure equitable access to education for financially disadvantaged students;

NOW THEREFORE, the Senate urges the Ministry of Education, to:

1) audit the funds allocated to bursaries by both the National Government and county governments;

2) consolidate the funds distributed by various government entities and agencies, with the aim of directing these funds directly to schools as supplementary capitation to facilitate the achievement of free secondary education; and

3) calculate the cost of education per learner and make this information public for primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions, including a detailed breakdown of the annual financial requirements for each student across the country.

*This refers to the Sharable Revenue allocated to counties in the financial year 2019/ 20 of Kshs. 316.5 billion. Thus, the allocation to county governments under this component is one-half of the equitable share allocated to county governments in FY 2019/20 amounting to Kshs. 158. 25 billion.

** This is the equitable share of revenues raised nationally allocated to county governments in FY 2024/25 amounting to Kshs. 387.425 billion. Once you net out one half of the amounts of Allocation Ratio or Ksh.158.25 billion from the Equitable share of Kshs. 387.425 billion, the resulting balance of Kshs. 229.175 billion shall be allocated among county governments using the Formula.
