Eusebius Mukhwana,the KNQA CEO and director general revealed that the strategy purposes to increase Kenya’s international student base from around 5,000 to 30,000 in a period of five years.

“Universities must also provide decent and affordable accommodation to international students on a reliable basis and on a bigger scale,”Mukhwana told The PIE News.

Kenya is mostly targeting students from East Africa and its Neighbors especially Somalia, South Sudan and Tanzania, among others.

“And, there may be a need for them to come together and market their programs as a group rather than do so individually. This is what we are proposing for now and we shall start with willing universities.” he added.
