Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi presented the KSh 784.5 billion allocation in
June, making education the top recipient of public funds and covering salaries,
basic programs, higher education, and technical training.
The
increase supports the Competency-Based Curriculum with better staffing,
infrastructure, and capitation for free primary, day secondary, and junior
secondary schooling.
Kenyans highlighted gains like over 100,000 new teachers, 25,000+ classrooms built, HELB funding at KSh 56.3 billion, and converting interns to permanent roles, seeing it as a vital investment in the nation's future.
