In the last few years, Kenyan public universities have |
|
mounted parallel degree programmes for students who are |
|
qualified and are financially able to pay for their |
|
university education. Moi University introduced such a |
|
programme in 1998. As a result of these developments, |
|
there has arisen concern amongst the stakeholders on the |
|
quality, efficiency and effectiveness of higher education |
|
offered. The paper reports the findings of an |
|
investigation carried out in the year 2003 to determine |
|
the internal efficiency of the Privately Sponsored |
|
Students Programme at Moi University. The target |
|
population for the study was all the students enrolled in |
|
the Privately Sponsored Students Programme at Moi |
|
University in the 2002/2003 academic year. Data for this |
|
study was collected by use of a questionnaire from a |
|
random sample of 300 respondents. The significant finding |
|
was Privately Sponsored Programmes operated below optimal |
|
efficiency levels. Different degree programmes |
|
demonstrated different levels of efficiency in the way |
|
they translated their inputs (students) into outputs |
|
(graduands). Also, it was established that many critical |
|
performance inputs were lacking or in short supply, such |
|
as library books and journals, computers, furniture in |
|
lecture rooms and chemicals in laboratories. To reduce |
|
these inefficiencies, there is need to enhance provision |
|
of critical inputs like books and journals, computers and |
|
science equipment as well as various consumables items. |
