[Photo/The Star]University managements have been urged to stop over-relying  too much on the government for funding as the sector has expanded significantly.Anne Nangulu who is Kenya Commission for University Education deputy secretary for quality audit and standards, has said financing higher education has become a problem.Speaking at Karatina University, Nyeri on Tuesday during a four-day training workshop for deans and directors of universities on leadership and change, Nangulu noted that there is a need to mobilize resources outside the public sector.She said if the administrators came up with qulity proposals, they may get funding from the European Union, The Dutch and Nuffic. “We are, for instance, doing a mobility scheme in the African continent where we came together at continental level. There are five universities in the project,” Nangulu said.She added: “This was a European Union call for mobility scheme, where you can move masters and PhD students, including staff.” She said the project was written in partnership with the University of Beirut in Germany and they were able to get 1.2 million Euros which will make it possible to train masters and PhDs in the five African universities.
