As attention now shifts to the release of Semester 2 results, special exams have been scheduled for 17th to 21st August.

A key concern is what happens to Fourth Year students and other continuing students who may need to sit for Semester 2, 2026/2027 special exams.

With results not yet released, referring students to the Dean of Schools may be the standard procedure. However, it may not be realistic for all students to approach the Dean individually for results.
The University should consider guidance on a way foward.

While many Pwani University students, and students in other universities, are waiting for Semester Two results...
Others are staring at something scarier. Fee balances.

Since the implementation of the Student Centered Funding Model, many students were placed in funding bands that do not match their reality. Bands higher than what their families can afford.

Then came the University Zero Balance exam policy.
If your fees are not cleared, you don’t sit your papers.
Yes, the University Senate later offered amnesty. A chance to sit after clearing.
But for some, that chance never came. The money didn’t come.
Now they are staring at deferment. Another semester lost. Another year delayed.

Still, some students were resilient. They found a way.
They sat for papers from Semester One all the way to Semester Two of last academic year.
But because of university policy, their results are still pending. Locked.
You passed. But you can’t see it.

The majority affected? Class of 2023 and Class of 2024.
The ones who came in full of hope. The ones who believed education was the way out.

As we get closer to the release of Semester Two results...
As special and supplementary exams approach...
For many, dreams are still standing at the fence line. Not in, not out.

To the student checking portal every 5 minutes: We see you.
To the one choosing between fees and food: We see you.
To the one considering deferment: Don’t lose hope.

Education was never meant to be a privilege.
It was meant to be a right.

Nowadays in campus when your girlfriend goes to visit her Uncle in Mombasa or Malindi its enough reason to raise eye brows.Campus life has changed. Walk into any lecture hall today and you will find students who are also parents. A 21-year-old in third year with a diaper bag. Their numbers are growing in universities and colleges across Kenya, and coastal schools are part of this conversation.

There is no official data, but counselors and campus clinics say they are seeing more cases every semester. The reasons are many. Money is tight and HELB does not cover everything. Some students get into relationships for financial support and end up pregnant.
Many first years also come to campus without enough information on sexual and reproductive health.Online learning, and long lecturer strikes have also kept students on campus longer, with more free time and less supervision. And the stigma has reduced. Where students used to be forced to defer, many now choose to stay and finish school.

But there is another side to this story that we need to talk about honestly. On weekends, some female students leave campus to visit "uncles"in Mombasa,Mslindi and other towns. For some, it is about rent, fees, or the pressure to live a certain lifestyle. For others, it is about relationships that turn risky.
Student leaders and health workers say this has led to more cases of unplanned pregnancies, STIs, HIV infections, and in some sad cases, assault and even loss of life.
The quest for a quick life and shortcuts has real consequences, and young women are often the ones who pay the highest price. In campuses, the term "Uncle wa Mombasa " trends online. While some of these men are student fathers trying to manage school and parenting, others are older men in transactional relationships. That mix is part of why the numbers keep rising.

Life is not easy for student parents.Hostels do not allow children, so they pay rent outside and for daycare.
HELB cannot stretch that far. They do CATs and exams while also handling clinic visits and sleepless nights. Female students face judgment. Male students face pressure to provide with little support.
Counselors warn that stress, postpartum issues, and school pressure are affecting mental health.

Universities are slow to respond. A few have clinics and private daycares have opened near campuses. At Pwani University, student leaders have been pushing for an on-campus daycare since 2023, but it has not happened yet. What students are asking for is clear: flexible exams, lactation rooms, counseling that understands student parents, and hostel policies that make sense.

Despite everything, most student parents say they will not drop out. "This was not the plan, but my child is why I have to graduate," (Two degrees) one comrade told us.

We need to stop pretending this is not happening. The solution is not shame. The solution is information, support, and policies that protect
