  • Of Independent Public Universities in Mombasa, Kenya Kevin Brennan
    A History of the Absence (and Emergent Presence) of Independent Public Universities in Mombasa, Kenya Kevin Brennan A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Education. Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: George Noblit Julius Nyang‟oro James Trier Richard Rodman Gerald Unks © 2008 Kevin Brennan ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Kevin Brennan A History of the Absence (and Emergent Presence) of Independent Public Universities in Mombasa, Kenya (Under the direction of George Noblit and Julius Nyang‟oro) While there is a great deal of literature available about schooling in Kenya and a good deal of writing about the establishment of Kenya‟s public university system there is a significant gap in the literature when it comes to describing and analyzing why certain areas of the country had long been removed from any on-site development of independent university opportunities. This study is an attempt to offer a history of an educational institution – an independent public university at the coast in Kenya – that does not yet exist. This longstanding absence took several significant steps toward transforming to a presence in 2007, when several university colleges were created at the coast. This transformation from absence to presence is a central theme in this work. The research for this project, broadly defined, took place over a seventeen year period and is rooted in both the author‟s professional experience as an educator working in Kenya in the early 1990s as well as his academic interests in comparative and international higher education.

  • Kampala University Gets Law School
    The New Vision Online : Kampala University gets law school Kampala University gets law school Publication date: Tuesday, 8th March, 2011 By Conan Busingye KAMPALA University will start admitting law students in August, the vice-chancellor, Prof. Badru Kateregga, has said. He said the school would admit 80 students for the start. “We submitted our curriculum to the National Council for Higher Education and we are yet to send it to the law council,” Kateregga said. He said the university had stocked the required law literature and was purchasing more. To study law, a candidate must have sat for the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education and obtained at least two principal passes. All students are legible for admission to the course irrespective of the subjects they offered at A’ level. The previous practice of restricting admission to students who had studied Literature in English, History and Economics was abandoned following a report on legal education training and accreditation in Uganda 1995. Meanwhile, the university will on March 10, hold its eighth graduation ceremony in which 1,266 students will be awarded degrees, diplomas and certificates in various disciplines. Of these, 651 are male and the rest are female. The function, to be presided over by the Chief Justice, Benjamin Odoki, will take place at the university’s main campus in Ggaba. Kampala University has also opened up East African University in Kenya with its programmes accredited by the Kenya Commission for Higher Education. The university has also opened a primary teachers training college in Masaka called Kampala University Primary Teachers College.

  • North South Cooperation by Academics and Academic Institutions.Pdf
    North south cooperation by academics and academic institutions: The case of Uganda A.B.K.Kasozi, PhD (California) Research Associate, Makerere Institute of Social Research Former Executive Director, National Council for Higher Education, Uganda. 1. Introduction As latecomers in the establishment of knowledge creation centres (universities, polytechnics and research centres), African higher education institutions need to collaborate with universities in regions and states that have had these institutions for centuries. But this cooperation must be well defined and all areas of cooperation known to each party. Past macro cooperation was often given in donor/aid recipient frameworks and often increased the dependency of southern partners to the north. Therefore, the levels, types and methods of co-operation must be thoroughly defined to avoid the mistakes of the past. The ideal mode of cooperation, which may not be achieved immediately, should be based on the following ten mark stones. First, both partners must do the designing of any joint research or teaching project cooperatively. The southern partner must make sure that the project will create knowledge that is useful to his/her constituency in the south. Africa needs, like the north did in its process of development, home focused and home-grown knowledge and thinkers who can use local conceptual models to resolve local problems. Secondly, both partners must have the capacity to, and should, contribute equal intellectual inputs in the designing of a project. People of unequal intellectual levels are unlikely to work well together. Thirdly, the partners must share the execution of the project. Each party should be assigned areas of work and the targets to be achieved at given time frames.
