Expenditure on education to hit a record Sh 415 billion – Report

Expenditure on education to hit a record Sh 415 billion


Government’s expenditure on education is projected to rise by Sh99.7 billion this financial year, a report has revealed.The 2018 Kenya National Bureau of Statistics economic survey indicates that the 2017/2018 budget for the sector will rise by 31.6 per cent to Sh415.3 billion from Sh315.6 billion in the previous financial year.Recurrent expenditure, which includes teachers’ and lecturers’ salaries, will increase by 30.7 per cent to Sh385.2 billion.This is seemingly an indication that a pay rise for lecturers and teachers could be in the offing by the end of the year.According to the report, Teachers Service Commission will take the biggest share of Sh202 billion.The latest supplementary budget shows that the commission has been allocated Sh16 billion to hire more teachers’ and award pay increases.This will likely help reduce the 155,605 teacher deficit being experienced in the country.TSC CEO Nancy Macharia told the education committee on education on April 10 that the commission needs to hire 68,000 intern teachers at a cost of Sh16 billion, and will need more funds to hire 12,696 trained teachers.Read: Which way forward? Plight of varsity students as lecturers' strike bitesShe said TSC is overwhelmed because it has only 312,060 teachers and the Sh5 billion governments allocate each year is not enough to hire 291,635 trained teachers.She said the commission needs to hire 20,000 teachers each year to close the existing deficit in four years' time.The Kenya National Union of Teachers claimed that teacher shortage has led to a teacher-student ratio that is as high as 1:50.Expenditure on university education is expected to rise to Sh96 billion followed by basic education which will get Sh85 billion.The supplementary budget indicates that Sh5.7 billion has been set aside for universities.This could potentially end the strike which is now in its 58th day.Currently, lecturers are on strike demanding a pay hike, car loans, mortgages and medical insurance to be factored into a four-year Sh38 billion collective bargaining agreement.Some Sh30 billion of the total expenditure will go towards infrastructure development in schools.A huge chunk of the development funds will likely be spent on building new classes in secondary schools to deal with a student influx arising from the roll out of free day secondary education.Vocational and Technical Training education has been allocated Sh2.5 billion.The Sh30 billion allocated for development expenditure has also been allocated across all the education sectors.Vocational and Technical Training education has been given the highest chunk of Sh16.5 billion while Basic Education has been given Sh8 billion.University Education has been allocated Sh5.4 billion while TSC has been allocated Sh118 million.The survey shows that enrolment in secondary schools grew by 4.1 per cent to 2.8 million in 2017 while that for primary schools increased from 10.3 million in 2016 to 10.4 million in 2017.Total enrolment in primary schools increased from 10.3 million in 2016 to 10.4 million in 2017The report further says, overall, teacher trainees ’enrolment went up marginally from 41,707 in 2016 to 42,131 in 2017 while enrolment in TVET institutions increased by 35.8 per cent to 275,139 in 2017.However, university student enrolment is expected to decline by 7.7 per cent from 564,507 in 2016/17 to 520,893 in the 2017/18 academic year.Last year, 519 more public secondary schools were built bringing the number to 9,111 from 8,592 that existed in 2016.Over the same year, 645 more public primary schools were built bringing the number to 23,584 in 2017.Public teacher training schools stood at 41 last year, an increase of 15 from the 26 that existed in 2016.The number of national polytechnics stands at 11, public Technical and Vocational Colleges were 91, while Public Youth Polytechnics stand at 1,186.Public universities remain 31, 28 are private.In total, Kenya has 90,587 learning institutions from pre-primary to university level.

Angalia heading yako ulivyoandika"$4.2 B, hii ndiyo sababu moja kwanini Kenya tunakopa hela", lengo lako lilikua ninini kama sio kuonyesha kwamba mnakopa hela ili kuinvest kwenye education?. usijaribu kuhalalisha uzembe na rushwa yenu kwa kutoa sababu nyepesi nyepesi.

Alimaanisha kwamba $4 billion for education ni pesa nyingi na kumbuka collection yetu ya revenue ni around $13 billion, kama sijakosea. Budget yetu nayo siku hizi inachezea $26 billion. Hiyo ni kumaanisha serikali ya Kenya lazima itaomba loan ya around 10 billion au zaidi, to fill in the deficit. Hii loan kwa kawaida huwa both domestic and foreign. Sasa wewe huoni kama hio budget kubwa ya education ya $4 billion ndio imechangia kwa hio budget deficit na ndio pia itatulazimisha kuenda kuomba loan? Hio budget kubwa ya education ndio itatufanya kuomba loan kwa sababu hatukusanyi pesa ya kutosha ya kulipia kila kitu kwenye budget. Hata wewe ukiwa unalipwa shillingi elfu ishirini ya Kenya kila mwezi, halafu unaishi kwa nyumba ya elfu kumi na tano, wewe huoni kwamba itakulazimu kuomba loan ili uweze kukidhi mahitaji yako mengine kama ya chakula na kadhalika? Kama sio hivyo basi uhame kutoka kwa hiyo nyumba ya elfu kumi na tano uende kuishi kwa nyumba ya elfu tano. Nadhani, hapo Tandale nyumba kama hizo ziko nyingi.

Wewe umezungumza vizuri sana, na hivyo ndivyo alivyokua akimaanisha alipoweka huu uzi, lakini alipopata challenge toka kwa Geza ulole, akabadilisha mwelekeo akawa protective badala ya kujenga hoja na kupambana na Geza ulole kama ulivyofanya hapa, huyu jamaa hajiamini kabisa, anaishi maisha ya wasiwasi sana humu jf, anadhani kila mtanzania au mtu yeyote anayetoa hoja ya kupinga ni adui wa Kenya.

Tukirudi katika uzi wenyewe, kila nchi inapaswa kudhibiti matumizi yake ili yaweze kuendana na uwezi wa nchi hisika, kama makusanyo ni madogo, basi lazima ujibane sana ili hicho kidogo kifanane na matumizi yako, ili kupunguza pengo la bajeti yako, hata kama utakopa lakini usikope kiwango kikubwa eti kwa sababu umepeleka mtoto wako kusoma very expensive private school kwa hiyo pesa ya kujenga nyumba imekwisha, kwanini usimpeleke mtoto katika moderate school ili ubaki na pesa japo ya 50% ya ujenzi wa nyumba?, hata kama utakopa kwa ajili ya nyumba, iwe unakopa 50% sio 100%.

Tony, hakuna ubishi wowote kwamba Magufuli ni rais mzuri sana na ana akili sana, kwa sasa Magufuli anaweza kuwa rais mzuri kuliko wote hapa Africa katika kuendesha uchumi na kudhibiti na matumizi bora ya rasilimali za nchi, kwa yeyote yule anayepingana na Magufuli katika hili, basi huyo hajui lolote kuhusu masuala ya uchumi wa nchi, Magufuli ataipaisha sana Tanzania katika maendeleo.

Tatizo kubwa la Magufuli ni very authoritative na hasira za haraka, is not diplomatic na hakubali kujishusha chini, kwa kifupi is not good politician diplomatically, but is a very good manager. Nchi za Africa especially Kenya zina kila sababu ya kuiga utawala wake hasa katika maeneo ya kuthibiti rushwa, usimamizi wa mali za nchi, vipaumbele vya taifa, na kupunguza kukopa kusikokua kwa ulazima wowote.

Umebonga point. Kwa maoni yangu binafsi kuhusu Kenya, Corruption ikitatuliwa tu basi tutakuwa mbali sana. Hapo nampa Magufuli kongole kwa kupigana na corruption. Wakenya wengi wanampenda kwa sababu ya hilo jambo.

Angalia heading yako ulivyoandika"$4.2 B, hii ndiyo sababu moja kwanini Kenya tunakopa hela", lengo lako lilikua ninini kama sio kuonyesha kwamba mnakopa hela ili kuinvest kwenye education?. usijaribu kuhalalisha uzembe na rushwa yenu kwa kutoa sababu nyepesi nyepesi.

Ilikua ni usome heading uje mbio mbio kisha usome taarifa , lakini nimegundua wengi wenu mna upungufu flani wa kusoma na kuelewa, mada full ni "$4.2B kwa elimu, hii ndo sababu moja kwanini Kenya hukopa hela kufanya miradi mingine" . Lakini hayo maneno hayangetosgea kwa heading. Naona umeenda ukajitengezea conclusion zako kama kawaida, yani watz ni watu wanaweza ku create hoja from thin air ! Nawapa mkono jameni

Acha kuishi kwa wasiwasi na kutokujiamini, mwenzako Tony 254 ameelewa vizuri sana na ametoa maelezo yenye maana, wewe tulia mwenye akili ameshakusaidia, lete uzi mwengine na jaribu kutumia akili unapoweka uzi wako.

Umeelewa alichosema?

Yeye amesoma na aka conclude kwamba kichwa cha mada na habari yenyewe hazifanani... thats the first hurdle! Yeye akapita...inamaanisha yeye ako sawa kusoma na kuelewa issues.

Wengine wamesoma kichwa, wakapitia habari alafu wakakwamia hapo kwa kichwa cha habari badala ya kusoma taarifa. Ndio maana first reply ya Geza Ulole nikamuelezea kwamba nikiweka hio mada nilikua namaanisha $4.2B ni hela zetu, alafu miradi kama SGR ndo tunakopa, lakini hata baada ya kueleza hivyo bado kuna jamaa walipitia hio conversation btn me and Geza na bado walikwamia hapo kwa heading na kuanza kujadiliana with issues ambazo haziko kwa taarifa... sasa niwafanyeje kama baada ya kuwaelezea bado wanakita hapo hapo manake wanataka conclusion yao iwe ya ukweli kwasababu wako desparate for a win

It seems that these billions spent in education dont translate to Intellectual decisions in Government.How would a government spend money educating Doctors then go to cuba to import intern docs when a 1000 kenyan doctors remain Jobless? What a waste of money.

I dont like that deal too, its undignifying.
But the deal comes with skills transfere too so there is hope. The doctors coming are not just regular doctors, they will be devided to two doctors per county and will be expected to coordinate and put mechanisms in place to have the equivalent of cuban health system replicated here... there are like only a handful of registered kenyan surgions that can do complex specialised surgeries (the KNH doctors that reattached that boys arm, He said he was the only one in the country that can do that type of sugery, the other doctors that helped him were all students bieng mentored by him, those are the kind of doctors they are bringing), the cuban doctors will be the ones to mentor kenya doctors on that. The deal also includes setting up of a genetics lab and some stem cell reasearch lab...
So its not just about employing doctors to serve regular patients .
And by the way, this engagement with Cuba started with the grand coalition government when Anyan'g nyon'go was Minister of health. Thats why even after Kisumu suffered the brunt of Election violence castigated by police serving orders from jubelee govnment, The kisumu Governor willbe the one coordinating this deal
