National Treasury has proposed Sh784.5 billion for education in the 2026/27 budget, making it the largest single-sector allocation in the financial year.
Mbadi tabled the proposals before the National Assembly on Thursday, June 11, outlining a wide spread of funds across basic education, universities, technical training, and teacher recruitment.
"Kenya's future depends on developing strong human capital," said Mbadi, adding that the government would strengthen quality learning, promote equity and fortify education against emerging technological and labour market shifts.
