The National Assembly's Departmental Committee on Education has begun a consultative review of four key education reform Bills aimed at restructuring student funding.

The MPs are also pushing to strengthen governance in learning institutions and aligning Kenya's education laws with recommendations of the Presidential Working Party on Education Reform.

The committee, chaired by Tinderet MP Julius Melly, met officials from the Ministry of Education led by Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba to scrutinise the proposed legislative changes and assess their legal, policy and financial implications before the Bills are considered by Parliament.
