The High Court has stopped the new funding education model to be implemented.
This comes as many university students have been trying to stop the implementation via protest.
The High Court has recently stopped the implementation of the new higher education funding model until the case filed by the Kenya Right Commission and other three petitioners is heard and determined.
According to a ruling made by Justice Chacha Mwita, the government led by Attorney General, Education CS and Kenya Universities and College Placement Service delayed in filing its submissions.
The petitioners led by the Elimu Bora Working Group and others argued that the funding model is discriminatory and locks thousands of students out of higher education.
The petitioners had moved to court in October last year seeking orders to stop the implementation of the new university funding model.
They argued that the new funding model will lock out many students from less privileged backgrounds from accessing university funds.
According to the model segmented into 5 bands, students from vulnerable and extremely needy households would receive full funding while the less needy will get up to 90 per cent funding.
This comes as many university students across the country have been protesting calling for the new funding model to be scrapped.
