With the recent rise of student population enrolling in universities, there has been a lot of concerns over the degrading quality of higher education in Kenya.
Most universities in Kenya are struggling to meet the standards of the Commission for University Education (CUE), but challenges of finance and facilities appear to subdue them.
Kisii University was on the spot in January this year after some of its campuses reportedly faced closure.
However, two months down the line, things seem to remain the same as there is less development so far.
A survey at the main campus, for instance, shows that there is a shortage of lecture theaters and seats, thus compromising learning activities.
Students are subjected to carrying seats from one lecture room to another while others find it hectic thus end up delaying and even miss lectures.
Early this year, the university decided to turn a building that was meant to be a hostel into lecture rooms.
The management said the decision was reached so as to ease the congestion in classrooms.
Students at the university say they are not contended with the way the management has responded to their needs especially to those pursuing technical courses.
They add that shortage of facilities has created discomfort in their studies.
With only 10 months remaining for the university to meet CUE's standards, there is still a lot to be done.
