Abstract
Kenyan Universities have faced a number of challenges in the delivery of quality education in the recent past. That notwithstanding, the number of public Universities in Kenya has tremendously grown in the last decade from six public Universities in 2005 to over 30 Public Universities by September 2016. At the same time, the number of private Universities in Kenya has also grown to over 23 Universities by year 2016. This has created a number of challenges worsening an already bad situation with constrained resources and few experienced lecturers in various domains being the main ones. This paper is a review of the situation of higher education management in Kenya. It offers insights into the milestones of the Kenyan higher education in the last decade.
