Kenya's Education Funding Crisis: Exams in Jeopardy for Thousands of Students

Kenya's Education Funding Crisis: Thousands of Students at Risk of Missing Exams Kenya is facing a critical education funding crisis. The budget for the national examinations, KPSEA, KJSEA, and KCSE, is missing. This has left thousands of students uncertain about their ability to sit for their exams. The situation has caused widespread concern among parents and educators. According to a recent news report, the government had allocated funds for education but the money has not been released. This has left schools in a difficult position. "We shall not write our report without the examination money," stated a member of the education committee, highlighting the severity of the situation. The video shows interviews with government officials who attempt to explain the situation. They cite budget rationalization as the reason for the missing funds. However, the explanation has been met with criticism and frustration from the education committee. The lack of funds may force parents to pay for their children's exams, placing an additional burden on families. The government is reportedly engaging with the national treasury to resolve the issue. Efforts are underway to secure the necessary funds to ensure that students can take their exams without further disruption.
