Kwale County Governor Fatuma Achani has urged parents and guardians to remain patient and await official direction from the Controller of Budget on the continued provision of bursaries to needy students across the county.
Governor Achani said the Council of Governors has already submitted a request to the Controller of Budget seeking approval for county governments to continue supporting vulnerable and needy learners through bursary programmes.
Through our flagship Elimu ni Sasa programme, Kwale County has supported the education of over 30,000 secondary school students across all 20 wards. It has also sponsored more than 10,000 university students through the bursary programme and increased bursary allocations from KSh 400 million to KSh 500 million to ensure that no deserving learner is left behind.
