本研究探讨了高等教育市场化对肯尼亚质量的影响。它侧重于全额收费的课程，这是肯尼亚公立大学事实上的市场收入来源。这项研究认为，肯尼亚的公立大学突然受到减少公共人头，所以是他们陷入市场化。这些机构开始招收全额付费的学生时，他们在机构能力方面的紧张。没有足够的物质设施，而且大多数现有设施在多年无人照管之后都已破败不堪。他们没有足够的教师，这是一个问题，市场化议程使这个问题变得更糟。为了在学生市场中占有更大的份额，在能力提供之前引入了许多新课程。该研究报告的结论是，在机构能力得到充分发展之前，通过全额付费方案寻求经济自决，随之而来的压力似乎使质量状况恶化。
This study addresses the implications of higher education marketisation for quality in Kenya. It focuses on full fee-paying programmes, the de facto market source of revenue for Kenya’s public universities. The study argues that Kenya’s public universities were precipitately subjected to diminished public capitation, and so was their plunging into marketisation. These institutions started enrolling full fee-paying students at a time when they were strained in terms of institutional capacity. There were not enough physical facilities, and most of those available were suffering decay following many years of neglect. They did not have enough teaching staff, a problem, which the marketisation agenda has made worse. The desire to claim a bigger share in the student market has seen the introduction of many new courses in advance of capacity to offer them. The study concludes that by seeking economic self-determination through full fee-paying programmes, in advance of a well-developed institutional capacity, the subsequent pressure seems to have made the quality situation worse.
