    "content": "In his inquiry, he needed the report on the circumstances under which a certificate must be equated to the Kenyan standards and the responsible officers. The guiding parameters and the standards used by the responsible body or officers and to provide data of all certificates that have undergone the process and how long it takes in the process. I beg to respond as follows:- According to Section 5 (1), (g), of the Universities Act No. 421 of 2012, one of the functions of the Commission for University Education (CUE) is to recognize and equate degrees, diplomas and certificates conferred or awarded by foreign universities and institutions in accordance with the standards and guidelines set by the Commission from time to time. The Commission has oversight only on qualifications obtained from foreign institutions. Secondly, the criteria for recognition and equation of qualification are as follows:- (i) The qualification should have been obtained from an accredited or recognized institution. (ii) The applicants must meet minimum entry requirements for a course leading to a similar award in Kenya. With regard to bachelors degree qualifications, in 1985, the Government of Kenya set the minimum admission into the university at C + (Plus) at KCSE. However, those who score less than C+ (plus) should have other high qualifications such as diploma with a credit pass or any “A” level with two principle passes or its equivalent. Specifically, the applicants must have obtained the grades listed below:- KCSE with a minimum aggregate of C+ (plus) and above or its equivalent, a diploma recognized from a tertiary institution with a minimum aggregate grade of credit or KCSE mean grade of C (Plain) or equivalent, a post secondary certificate and diploma from a recognized institution or “O” level Division II or equivalent, a post-secondary certificate and diploma from a recognized institution or “A” with two principle passes and a subsidiary or a pre-university course as a qualification for university entrance."
