The National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Education, led by Chairman Hon. Julius Kipbiwott Melly, visited the Commission for University Education (CUE) offices in Gigiri, Nairobi, on Thursday, 2nd October 2025.
The oversight visit formed part of Parliament’s mandate to engage government institutions, review their performance, and support them in meeting statutory obligations. For CUE, the meeting provided a valuable platform to showcase milestones, share challenges, and strengthen collaboration with the legislature in addressing emerging issues within the university subsector.
CUE’s management, led by Prof. Mike Kuria, the Commission Secretary/CEO, engaged the MPs in constructive discussions on accreditation, regulatory frameworks, budgetary needs, the Competency-Based Education (CBE) transition, and broader reforms aimed at enhancing quality assurance in higher education.

The delegation was received by CUE’s management team led by CEO Prof. Mike Kuria (5th right) alongside the institution’s top leadership, where discussions focused on strengthening oversight and enhancing quality assurance in the university subsector.
The Commission appealed for Parliament’s support in clarifying the respective roles of CUE and professional bodies in accreditation, to avoid overlaps and enhance efficiency.
The Committee emphasized the importance of finalizing the Universities Regulations 2023. Hon. Melly encouraged CUE to expedite stakeholder consultations and submit the regulations for consideration, noting their role in strengthening university governance.

With the first cohort of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) expected to join universities in 2029, the Committee sought updates on CUE’s readiness for this transition.
Prof. Kuria assured members that progress is underway but underscored the need for increased budgetary allocations to ensure universities are well-prepared for the shift.
The Committee highlighted the need for stronger collaboration between CUE and professional bodies in matters of accreditation. Members proposed that including representatives of professional bodies on the CUE Board would provide a structured platform for dialogue and coordination.
Prof. Kuria welcomed the proposal, reiterating the Commission’s commitment to harmonized regulatory frameworks that reduce duplication and promote synergy.
Concerns were raised about the growing number of unaccredited institutions operating under the guise of religious colleges. The Committee encouraged CUE to strengthen oversight measures and explore regional best practices to protect students and uphold the credibility of Kenya’s higher education system.
The Committee underscored the importance of safeguarding the integrity of academic qualifications. Members sought updates on CUE’s ongoing interventions to curb the proliferation of fake degrees.
Prof. Kuria highlighted that the Commission has already initiated legal action against four institutions operating illegally, in collaboration with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. He noted that public awareness campaigns and the publication of lists of illegal operators remain central to CUE’s strategy.
Discussions also touched on the misuse of honorary degrees. The Commission reported progress in developing a draft National Policy on Honorary Degrees aimed at standardizing the awarding process and ensuring transparency. The Committee welcomed this initiative as an important safeguard of academic integrity.
The Committee sought clarity on the establishment and closure of university campuses. CUE explained that institutions are guided by clear compliance standards, and decisions are based on quality assurance rather than external influence.
Mr. Joseph Musyoki, Deputy Director for Institutional Accreditation, confirmed that institutions that fail to meet compliance requirements face closure in line with established guidelines.

Members were informed that universities owe CUE Sh935 million in unpaid fees. The Committee proposed a structured repayment model, potentially through deductions from universities’ exchequer allocations.
On budget performance, MPs encouraged CUE to explore the use of internally generated revenue to supplement activities. Prof. Kuria appealed for parliamentary support in funding the Universities Research and Training Centre (URTC) and strengthening security around CUE’s premises, noting that these investments are essential for operational stability.
As Kenya continues to attract international students, the Committee encouraged CUE to provide leadership in addressing visa and work permit challenges that hinder internationalization. Both sides agreed that resolving these barriers is critical for positioning Kenya as a competitive hub for higher education.
Graduate employability featured prominently in the discussions. The Committee encouraged CUE to take a stronger role in guiding universities to develop market-relevant programmes.
Prof. Kuria informed members that the Commission has developed a Code Book of Academic Programmes, aligned with international standards, and conducts audits every four years to review programme relevance.
Members welcomed these initiatives and emphasized the importance of ensuring that graduates are equipped with skills that match Kenya’s economic needs. Hon. Dick Maungu and Chairman Hon. Melly both called for closer alignment between academic programmes and labour market demand.

Kenya joined the conversation on seamless higher education integration as leaders from across East Africa gathered in Kampala for the 1st Regional Ministerial Conference on the East African Community Common Higher Education Area (EACHEA).
The event was graced and officially opened by His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni of the Republic of Uganda, whose presence underscored the importance the host nation placed on regional cooperation in higher education.
Leading Kenya’s delegation, Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Education Hon. Julius Migosi Ogamba called on partner states to move from words to action.
Speaking at the ministerial roundtable, the Cabinet Secretary urged his counterparts to remove the barriers that prevent students and professionals from freely moving across the region.
“The time has come for us to move from commitments on paper to real action that students, faculty, and institutions can feel. Removing visa restrictions and discriminatory tuition fees will give young East Africans the freedom to learn, work, and innovate without borders,” Hon. Ogamba said.

The conference was convened under the auspices of the Forum of CEOs of National Higher Education Commissions, the Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA), and other key stakeholders
His message captured the spirit of the Kampala Ministerial Communiqué, which reaffirmed the commitment of partner states to build a common higher education area that strengthens academic excellence, knowledge mobility, and socio-economic transformation.
The Cabinet Secretary was accompanied by Dr. Beatrice Inyangala, the Principal Secretary, State Department of Higher Education.
Adding Kenya’s voice, Commission for University Education (CUE) CEO Prof. Mike Kuria stressed that harmonisation doesn’t mean uniformity, but rather building trust and comparability among institutions.
“We cannot afford fragmented systems if we are to compete globally. Harmonisation means agreeing on standards, ensuring quality, and giving confidence in our qualifications.
CUE will intensify efforts to implement the East African Qualifications Framework for Higher Education and the Regional Quality Assurance Framework,” Prof. Kuria said.

For CUE, the Kampala resolutions are more than aspirations. The Communiqué directed national commissions to play a central role: designating focal points for EACHEA, ensuring universities align with regional frameworks, enforcing fair tuition rules, and supporting the removal of visa requirements for students and professionals.

In practical terms, this means CUE will work with universities to integrate regional standards into academic programmes, promote joint degrees, and support student and staff mobility schemes. It also places CUE at the centre of monitoring Kenya’s compliance with regional higher education frameworks, ensuring the country delivers on the commitments made in Kampala.
The conference also gave opportunity for participating institutions to exhibit their services, programmes and innovations. CUE took part in the exhibition to promote the visibility and mandate of the regulator across the region.

Kenya was well represented at the 1st Regional Ministerial Conference on the EACHEA in Kampala by a wide array of institutions and stakeholders. Among the university present were: Mount Kenya University (MKU), Meru University of Science and Technology (MUST), Rongo University, KCA University, South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU), Dedan Kimathi University of Technology (DeKUT), Kenya Highlands University, Aga Khan University, Scott Christian University, Pioneer International University, and Tom Mboya University. In attendance was also Prof. Daniel Mugendi, the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Embu (UoEm) who also serves as the Chairperson of the Vice Chancellors’ Forum of Public Universities and Dr. Alice Kande, Director General, the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA).
State corporations and regulatory bodies were equally represented, including the Kenya National Qualifications Authority (KNQA), the Kenya Universities Quality Assurance Network (KUQAN), and the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA). Student voices were not left behind, with the Kenya Universities Students Organization (KUSO) actively participating. Professional bodies also had their voice at the table, with the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) taking part in the conference deliberations.
CUE’s delegation included Dr. Eunice Marete, the Deputy Commission Secretary in charge of Quality Assurance, Mr. Michael Tanui- Ag. Deputy Director, Quality Assurance, and Ms. Evelyn Okewo, Ag. Deputy Director, Corporate Communication.
As ministers resolved to eliminate visa requirements, standardise tuition fees, and expand digital learning across East Africa, Kenya’s role through its education ministry and CUE emerged as crucial.

The next test will be whether these bold declarations become reality by the time leaders meet again in Rwanda in 2027.
For now, the Kampala conference has set the stage for an East African higher education space where opportunities will no longer stop at borders, but open doors for every student and researcher across the region.

The Commission for University Education (CUE), in partnership with the DAAD Regional Office, Nairobi, hosted a three-day workshop from 12th to 14th August 2025 at Lake Naivasha Resort to explore how Competence-Based Education (CBE) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) could advance higher learning in Kenya.
The event brought together representatives from 36 universities, government agencies, and international partners to share ideas, experiences, and practical approaches as institutions prepare for the first CBE cohort in 2029.
Dr. Carol Hunja, representing the Principal Secretary, State Department of Higher Education, set the tone for the workshop. She emphasized that AI is no longer optional if Kenya is to remain globally competitive.
“Through training graduates with the skills employers need, we can ensure they thrive in the new job market. This workshop helps us chart the direction we are taking as a country,” she said.
She further noted that CUE had already trained over 600 Deans of Students as trainers in CBE and would soon bring vice-chancellors on board in September 2025 as policies for the 2029 cohort take shape.

Prof. Mike Kuria, Commission Secretary and CEO of CUE, built on that message, reminding participants that AI can be a great equalizer in education.
“Our local job markets are limited, yet AI empowers students to access opportunities globally,” he explained. “With AI, a student in Turkana, Kenya, can access the same resources as a student in London.”
He stressed that universities already have the human resources to drive this transformation, but leadership must take the first step.
“The greatest transformation begins in the mind. University management must lead boldly to ensure students are ready for the future.”

Dr. Dorothee Weyler, Director, DAAD Regional Office Nairobi, echoed the collaborative spirit of the event.
“We are partnering with the Commission to explore how competence-based education and AI can work hand in hand,” she said.
“DAAD comes not only as a donor but also as a solution provider. At the end of this workshop, we hope participants will leave with a clear way forward.”

The workshop drew strong support from CUE’s top management and technical staff. CUE Deputy Commission Secretaries Prof. Urbanus Mutwiwa (Accreditation), Dr. Eunice Marete (Quality Assurance) and Dr. David Muthaka (Planning, Research and Innovation), together with Ag. Deputy Director for Quality Assurance, Mr. Michael Tanui, and Senior ICT Officer, Mr. Geoffrey Wanjala, guided the world café sessions.
These highly interactive conversations allowed participants to redesign curricula, imagine how AI tools can be practically embedded in learning, and openly debate policy questions on data privacy, ethical use of AI, and quality assurance.
The format created space for diverse voices to be heard, from senior university managers to young lecturers and ICT specialists.
Participants also heard from international and local experts who demonstrated how CBE shifts the focus from simply finishing academic hours to mastering practical skills and competencies.
Speakers at the workshop were drawn from Kenya, South Africa, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The AI experts included Prof. Chris Odindo, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Student Experience, De Montfort University, UK; Dr. Mine De Klerk, Dean of Curricula and Research at Eduvos, South Africa; and Dr. Sospeter Gatobu from Centre for Leading Research in Education (CLRiE), Canada
They focused on how learning outcomes are central to Competence-Based Education, emphasizing the mastery of specific skills and competencies rather than the mere completion of a set number of academic hours.
AI, they said, could support this shift through intelligent tutoring systems, automated grading, real-time analytics, and personalized learning platforms that adapt to each learner’s pace and needs.

The conversations were not just about opportunities; they also faced hard questions. Limited resources, resistance to change, and the urgent need for staff training were raised.
Rather than stopping at the challenges, participants brainstormed solutions: pilot projects to test AI integration, partnerships with technology providers, more robust industry collaboration, and peer learning among universities.
By the end of the sessions, teams had drafted concrete action plans, what could be done immediately, what would take shape in the medium term, and what needed long-term policy shifts.
The energy in the room reflected a shared understanding: CBE and AI are not abstract ideas anymore; they are the future.
Universities leaders and representatives committed to take lessons back to their institutions, begin internal discussions, and prepare their institutions to seize this transformation.

CUE and the DAAD Regional Office Nairobi pledged to walk the journey with universities, offering guidance, platforms for dialogue, and technical support. As Prof. Kuria summarized in his closing remarks:
“Embracing this change means our universities can prepare graduates who are not only knowledgeable but also skilled, adaptable, and ready to make a real impact on society and the economy.”

On Thursday, 8th May 2025, Uzima University reached a significant milestone in its institutional journey when His Excellency President William Ruto awarded it a Charter, officially elevating it to a fully-fledged private university. The event took place at State House in Nairobi.
The President commended the University for its deliberate and focused approach in the courses it offers, which have had a transformative impact on healthcare in the Western Kenya region. He acknowledged that while many institutions pursue rapid expansion through diverse academic offerings, Uzima University chose a different path, specializing exclusively in health education.
President Ruto praised this bold decision, noting that health and STEM-based programmes are among the most resource-intensive to establish, given the high cost of setting up laboratories and practical equipment for students. Despite these challenges, the University made a strategic choice to remain true to its mission in healthcare training.
“You didn’t chase expansion by offering every course imaginable. Instead, you focused on a niche that speaks directly to the healthcare needs of our people,” said the President. “It’s expensive to set up laboratories and practical learning equipment for health sciences, but you chose the hard path, and I commend you,” said the Head of State.
His Excellency the President (4th from right) presents the Uzima University Mace to the Council Chairman, CPA Nelson Otieno. Looking on are Education Cabinet Secretary Hon. Migos Ogamba (3rd left), Principal Secretary Dr. Beatrice Muganda (2nd left), CUE Board Chairman Prof. Chacha Nyaigotti-Chacha (furthest left), the new Chancellor Prof. Oyuko Mbeche (next to the President), and Vice-Chancellor Prof. Rev. Cosmas Rhagot (furthest right).
Recognising Uzima’s alignment with the government’s Universal Health Coverage agenda, President Ruto announced a government grant of Ksh100 million to support the University in strengthening its academic and practical training infrastructure.
He assured the University community and stakeholders that the government would stand with institutions like Uzima that demonstrate commitment to addressing national priorities through education.
The President paid glowing tribute to Archbishop Emeritus Zacchaeus Okoth, the University’s founder, for his vision, resilience, and unwavering efforts to establish an independent institution of higher learning dedicated to health sciences.

He also acknowledged former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for his consistent support and advocacy, which contributed to the establishment and growth of the institution in the Western Kenya region.
Speaking during the same occasion, the former Prime Minister described the award of the charter as a transformative moment for the University and the nation at large. He reflected on the evolution of Kenya’s higher education system, drawing parallels with his own experiences at the University of Nairobi in the 1970s, then the only constituent college of the University of East Africa.
From that single institution emerged a robust network of universities, both public and private, now playing a vital role in driving Kenya’s development. He reminded the audience that societies grow by investing in knowledge, and called for renewed commitment to building strong academic institutions.
Right Honourable Raila Odinga, Former Prime Minister, delivering his remarks during the award of a charter to Uzima University on Thursday, 8th May 2025.
The former Prime Minister also issued a powerful call to action by comparing Kenya’s development trajectory with that of South Korea.
“In 1963, both countries had similar economic indicators, yet today, South Korea is a global economic leader while Kenya still faces fundamental development challenges. He posed the question: “What did South Korea get right that we got wrong?”
Mr. Odinga challenged the nation to invest in research, innovation, and education as the path to transformation. His remarks echoed a message of hope and urgency stressing that Kenya has the potential to rise to global competitiveness if it gets its education and development equation right.

Prof. Chacha Nyaigotti-Chacha noted that the granting of the charter followed a rigorous and comprehensive process of evaluation and compliance, guided by CUE’s standards. He commended the University for meeting the requirements and upholding academic excellence throughout its journey from a constituent college to a university with full autonomy.
