UoN challenged to maintain leadership in the region

Abstract

The government has challenged the University of Nairobi to take up a leadership role in higher education in the region and improve on its current good ranking its peers.

This was said by the Cabinet Secretary of Education, Prof. Jacob Kaimenyi, during the official closure of the 11th Exhibition of Universities and Colleges organized by the Commission for Universities Education (CUE). The exhibition was held at Eldoret Town between March 27 and 29, 2014.

The University of Nairobi showcased its courses and services offered in all colleges and the Central Administration Departments. The exhibitors were drawn from all the units including the student community.

While touring UoN stands, visitors from the North Rift Region requested the University to consider establishing a campus in the fast growing Eldoret town so that they can benefit from high quality services offered by the University.

The three-day event attracted over 40 private and public institutions of higher learning. It was officially opened by Dr. Belio Kipsang, Principal Secretary for Education
