The Treasury has allocated Ksh520 billion to education in the 2024/25 budget—the largest ever—focusing on TVET, digital learning, and teacher deployment. Over Ksh180 billion will upgrade 200 technical colleges, while Ksh90 billion funds digital devices for primary schools under the Digital Literacy Programme. Free sanitary pads and school feeding programs are expanded to 10,000 schools. The Bottom-Up Agenda prioritizes skills alignment with market needs. However, auditors warn of past inefficiencies in capitation fund disbursement. The education sector absorbs 19% of total budget expenditure, reflecting its centrality to human capital development.
