The county governments have been subsidizing trainees in public Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) in form of bursary to enhance enrolment and completion rates. The objectives of this paper are to determine the relationship between the Bungoma County Government Bursary (BCBG), gross enrolment and completion rates between the years 2014 to 2019. Correlational research design was adopted, and socialist economy theory guided the study. The study selected 48 VTCs and Training officers and 358 VTC trainees. Data was then collected using questionnaires. The strength of the correlation was established using Karl Pearson’s product moment correlation whereby, the study established that the BCGB had a weak positive correlation with enrolment and a very weak positive correlation with completion rates. Using the R2 obtained from the model. It was also established that BCGB explains 2.7% of the variation in gross enrolment and 5.1% of completion rates. The study recommended further diversification of VTCs courses in line with the ever-changing technological world and market demand and the introduction of diverse programmes like lunch in VTCs to attract more enrolment and increase completion rates.

“…Consistent with Puyate (2019) and Nanjoli (2019), the primary factors which influenced low student enrolment in technical and vocational education and training programmes include gender preferences and prior poor student academic performance in science subjects at secondary education. Wasike and Maiyo (2020) concluded that the type and number of programme courses offered by TVET institutions and adequacy of government funding and budgets determine student enrolments.…”

“…The research study concluded that improved increases in student enrolments were enhanced by increases in the number of public TVET institutions in the country, though newly constructed institutions were not operating optimally. Wasike (2021) analysed the implications of the programme qualifications mix offered in technical and vocational education and training institutions for student enrolment in Bungoma county, Kenya. The study was conducted across sixty-five TVET institutions from which seven hundred and fourteen lecturers, and nine thousand and ninety-eight students selected using stratified random sampling.…”

The aim of this study was to assess trends in access and success at the Gert Sibande TVET College during the sample period 2010-2020. Secondary data on headcount enrolments and completions used in the study was obtained from the college's management information system. Total enrolments grew by an average annual growth of 8.4%, and mainly consisted of Black Africans and female students during the period under review. The total gross enrolment ratio generally increased, while the gross enrolment ratio for females predominantly remained higher than the gross enrolment ratio for males. Certification rates in the Report 191 N3 programme demonstrated good progress regarding student success during 2016-2018. Despite the decline in 2017, certification rates in Report 191 N6 business studies recorded good performance over the period under review, while certification rates in Report 191 N6 engineering studies programme was considerably poor. Certification rates in NC(V) level 4 programme waned during 2012-2016, despite recoveries during 2017-2019. In general, student success at the College was quite volatile, suggesting the need to implement measures for improvement.

The county governments have been spending a lot of money on public Vocational Training Centers (VTCs) trainees in form of bursary to promote equity in access and quality education. It is on this basis that the objective of this paper was to establish the trends in County Government Bursary (CGB) allocation and students’ access to public VTCs in Bungoma County for the period 2014 to 2019. Descriptive research design was adopted. The study was guided by socialist economy and the principle of demand and supply theories. The study used sample size of 48 managers and 358 VTCs trainees. The study used stratified proportionate sampling technique. Data was then collected using questionnaires and document analysis. A reliability of 0.75 was established through test-retest method. It was established that although the trends of the County Government Bursary allocation and access to Bungoma County VTCs fluctuated, there was steady rise in both variables. The study recommends diversification of courses and funding in VTC in line with the ever-changing technological world and market demand to promote increase in students’ access over the years.
