Mrs. Eliza Mbatia - Chairperson of the Editorial Committee 2. Mr. John Mutethia - Member 3. Ms. Evelyn Okewo - Member 4. Mrs. Lynette Kisaka - Member 5. Ms. Stella Kiptoo - Member 6. Mr. Clifford Gicheru - Member iv FOREWORD This report on University statistics presents comprehensive university data covering the following key thematic areas: academic programmes, student enrolment, staffing, graduation trends and finance. This is the second detailed report on university data, which the Commission for University Education (CUE) has prepared. The data presented is current and captures several indicators of the university sector. These include, but are not limited to, the dynamics of gender representation, programme diversification, enrolment, staff-student ratio and financing - all of which have been documented. With the knowledge that data is a vital element in making decisions and crafting policies, the Commission is committed to building a rich data base, which will be easily accessed by any authorized person upon request. Policies and projections will then be made based on tangible up- to-date data. There will also be greater efficiency in the implementation of projects and realization of targets. Unlike the previous years, the universities were more cooperative in providing data, which is an indication that they have embraced the exercise wholeheartedly. Of note is data on enrolment of students by County. Previously, universities were not capturing this information in their admission records. But through Commission’s intervention and constructive engagement with the universities, a significant number of them provided the data, which has been analyzed in this report. This report will be handy to the policy makers in various State departments, private sector, NGOs, development partners and other interest groups who intend to partner with the university sector in matters pertaining to training and research. In line with the function of the Commission stipulated in Section 5 (1) of the Universities Act (2012), Revised (2016), the Commission has put in place a framework for assuring quality of research and integrity of data collection in the university sector. In doing this, the Commission is inspired by ideals enshrined in its Vision, Mission, Strategic Objectives and Core Values. Prof. Chacha Nyaigotti-Chacha Chairman Commission for University Education v ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Compilation of the 2016/2017 University Statistics Report would not have been possible without the immense contribution of several people. First, I would like to thank the Chairman and the entire Commission fraternity for their steadfast support during the process of collecting and processing the University Data Book for 2016/17. Secondly, I would like to thank both public and private universities for providing data on the thematic areas which have been analyzed in this report and for working closely with the Commission to validate the data so that the report captures accurately all the information they shared. Thirdly, I wish to acknowledge the Ministry of Education for its support and for authorizing two of their officers, Mr. Polycarp Otieno and Mr. Philip Kinara to work with the team at the Commission to ensure that the report is up to the required standard. I gratefully acknowledge the time and expertise devoted to reviewing of the document by the Commission’s Editorial Committee. Last but certainly not least, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the team in the Division of Planning, Research and Development for their hard work and commitment to the task of producing this important report.

  • Research Article the Challenges of Student Affairs at Kenyan Public Universities
    Journal of Student Affairs in Africa | Volume 1 (1&2) 2013, 33–48 | ISSN 2307-6267 | DOI: 10.14426/jsaa.v1i1-2.34 research article The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Tamara Yakaboski* and Matthew Birnbaum** Abstract Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education to help solve a range of economic and social issues. These efforts have had profound effects on university students, faculty and professionals who provide the vital student support services necessary for academic success. This case study explores the challenges that face Kenyan student services professionals within the context of the country’s history and cultures. Kenya’s student service professionals face four major challenges: the increasing costs of attendance, the resulting impact on student behaviours and actions, lack of training and senior leadership, and regular campus closures. Keywords student affairs, accommodation, student housing, student services, university environment, higher education. The challenges of student affairs at Kenyan public universities Kenya is increasingly turning to the promise of mass higher education, meaning a shift from an elite to an open system of access, to help solve a range of economic and social problems (Jowi, 2009; Kenya Vision 2030, 2007). The national government has made its commitment to post-secondary education evident through the addition of over 25 public universities and constituent colleges since 1994 and its adoption of policies encouraging rapid enrolment growth in nearly all post-secondary institutions. Between 2010 and 2013, Kenya made nearly 20 constituent colleges and branch campuses into stand-alone universities. Even with this growing capacity, Kenya’s demand for access to affordable higher education far exceeds the system’s ability to deliver quality instruction and student support (Ngolovoi, 2010; Owuor, 2012).

  • Influence of Media Training on the Competence of Journalists in Kenya
    Influence of Media Training on the Competence of Journalists in Kenya: Perceptions of Standard Group Limited Managers and Senior Journalists Amukuzi, Marion1, Kuria, Githinji Martin2 Riara University, Kenya1, Karatina University, Kenya2 Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract A number of researches have indicated that training institutions have failed to impart skills and knowledge to students that would be transferred to the industry upon graduation and employment, hence the quality of journalists graduating is wanting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of media training on the competency of journalists in Kenya. Curricula were sampled from selected Kenyan universities and adequacy of training material investigated. Non-probability sampling procedure involving purposive and snow-ball sampling methods were used to identify the 9 participants comprising media managers and senior journalists in one media organization. Data was analysed thematically and presented in a narrative form in accordance with the themes. According to the SG media managers and senior journalists, journalists trained in Kenya lack practical skills required in the job market. Consequently, media houses are recruiting graduates in other disciplines such as English, Medicine, and Law while others have resorted to re-training the new recruits. It is recommended that media training institutions, regulators and other stakeholders should revamp existing curricula with the view to making them competency based. Keyword: Influence of Media, Journalists, Perceptions Standard Group Limited, Managers and Senior Journalists. Introduction and Background of the Study The performance of media in Kenya is closely related to the level of journalism training where appropriate training provides students with knowledge and skills to write accurate, fair, balanced and impartial stories (Mbeke, 2010).

  • Maasai Mara Research Project 270215
    Maasai Mara Science and Development Action The aim of the Maasai Mara Science and Development Action is to develop a platform that will support a large-scale interdisciplinary research programme for integrative conservation and development in the Maasai Mara. Large nature areas in Africa and their uniquely rich megafaunas are subject to complex interactions with the human societies in which they are embedded, involving both cultural, socioeconomic, organizational and political dimensions. At the same time, the ecosystems have their own inherently complex dynamics also impacted by anthropogenic climate change, with the famous wildebeest migration in Masai Mara-Serengeti providing a key example. While rich megafaunas with large annual migrations were once common across the Earth, they now form a unique African heritage and survives only in a declining, small part of the continent. Masai Mara hence constitutes a unique and irreplaceable part of Africa’s nature. Allowing it and other megafauna-rich ecosystems to persist in an increasingly human-dominated world will require the development of integrative approaches. These approaches must go across disciplines to tackle the complexity of external and internal societal and natural factors that now affects these ecosystems and concurently develop a sutainable society. All these factors together will determine the dynamics and ultimately the fate of these ecosystems. The framework built in the Maasai Mara Science and Development Action, will have broad applicability and relate to many global challenges of ecological sustainability in a world with ever increasing human population and resource use. The challenges of the Maasai Mara may thus be local, but the perspectives are global.
