This is after public outcry on quality of graduates from higher learning institutions.  Matiangi now wants a common exam for all universities offering similar courses which will be marked centrally just like KNEC or KASNEB exams. E.g All institutions offering B-COM will register and take common final  exams concurrently. This is to make sure all students cover what they are supposed to cover and reduce laziness of lecturers in Kenyan universities.  He will in January release full guidelines over the same.However there are more changes he is likely to make.
