Prof Magoha said students were also not placed in 98 other programmes either because they did not qualify or were given slots in degrees of their choice.
“This situation must be addressed. The Commission for University Education must conduct a thorough analysis of these courses, including a review and scrapping of such programmes,” said Prof Magoha on Monday at Catholic University on Monday during the release of 2018-2019 universities placement results.
The Education CS urged universities should subject the degree programmes that they offer under greater scrutiny to avoid duplication of courses.
The national government, Prof Magoha said, will carry out a rationalisation of academic programmes and universities.
“If possible, existing universities and campuses can be consolidated for maximum utilisation,” he said
He said the government freeze on the establishment of new universities and satellite campuses must be upheld to avoid flooding of higher institutions.
