The Commission for University Education (CUE) has rejected 133 courses offered in more than 20 Kenyan universities for being useless, shallow in scope, and unmarketable.

This means that approximately 10,000 students absorbed in the various universities might be forced to discontinue the courses, and the academic papers for those who have already graduated may not be recognized by prospective employers.

The commission is supposed to approve the various courses offered by Kenyan universities, however, the 133 identified have been termed as a way of making money with no career prospects.

The findings follow a CUE audit of the Kenyan universities carried out in 2018 in readiness for the 2019 placement.  According to the report, it was noted that many universities seem concerned about huge enrollment, and have given inaccurate details about their actual capacity, their resources, and the teaching staff solely for the purposes of minting cash.

Data from The Standard indicate that close to 30,000 openings in the universities have been removed by the CUE. The Commission reported that only 134,075 of the 163,925 declared available capacity for public and private universities were approved.  Even then, globally, students use PrepAway which has everything needed to prepare, learn and pass your certification exam.

CUE has warned against the placement of students in each of the courses identified in the universities. It also follows that the three courses rejected at Mama Ngina University are as a result of the institution not being an accredited university college.

Alupe University College will see no enrollment as all the courses offered have been rejected by the Commission.
