From the Kenya Yearbook 2010, our premier flagship publication, we have attained another milestone in our endeavour to record for poster-

ity, the rich history of our country.The Higher Education Yearbook is the

first book in our sector-specific series. We owe immense gratitude to the Kenya

Yearbook Editorial Board’s pioneer team of directors and members of the Board’s Edi-torial Committee, namely Esther Kamweru (the former chairperson), Philip Ochieng and Mundia Muchiri, and later Miriam Ra-hedi and Abraham Ondeng’, Mary Ngaru-ma, Dorcas A. Ambuto, George Mwosa and Richard Gakunya. This team has been an inspiration, and a critical contributor to this publication. They, together with Denis Chebitwey, the former Kenya Yearbook Chief Executive Officer, Kenyatta Univer-sity’s John Nderitu and Mukirae Njihia, the Ministry of Education and the Com-mission for University Education played a critical role in determining the choice of content, form and tone. They patiently, dil-igently and professionally pulled together to get this book published.

There were numerous other people who, in varied ways, contributed to this book. While it is not possible to name them all, we nevertheless wish to thank them for their selfless efforts and commitment.

However, we would like to pay special tribute to the former Information and Communication Permanent Secretary, Dr Bitange Ndemo , for encouraging us to write a rich and deep book focusing on the state of university in Kenya.

We are extremely grateful to the pool of writers and editors, whose tireless effort made this work possible.

Our profound appreciation also goes to the Kenya National Archives, the National Museums of Kenya, McMillan Library, the Department of Information, Nation Media Group, Standard Group and other local media houses and information agen-cies that allowed our researchers and staff to access information and images in their custody.

We are indebted too to the Kenya Year-book’s team of Maria Goretti Wanyonyi, Jane Mareka, Juliana Ndundu, Florence Chepkwony, Fredrick Owiti, Timothy Mwangi, Francis Gitau Kinuthia, Tiffany Gauta, Julie Anne Muchemi, Allan Ma-digu, Evelyn Nyamwega, Vivian Ruto, Al-ice Mutua, Phibian Tanui, Dorcas Makal, Samuel Ngao, Christopher Keya and Mar-tin Maina for their devotion and dedica-tion in the various support roles.

To all of you who in one way or the other contributed to this publication, accept our appreciation.

Path to higher education

Five decades after independence, East Africa has made remarkable progress in higher education. The numbers of universities and stu-

dents have grown significantly and so has the number of degree programmes.

The first step towards university edu-cation was taken in 1949, when the Brit-ish colonial administration set up a uni-versity campus in Kampala – Makerere – as a constituent of the University. Its remit was to serve Kenya, Uganda, Tan-zania, Malawi and Zambia and provide an answer to the Africans’ demand for higher education.

Later, in the early 1960s, when most Af-rican countries attained independence, two other institutions were established in East Africa to offer higher education, namely, Dar es Salaam and the Royal Technical College, Nairobi. They were enjoined with Makerere and, after a short while, the three were given the mandate to form the federal University of East Af-rica.

Having attained independence, the three East African countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania embarked on a concerted effort to develop their own universities to provide human capital to drive their nascent economies and catapult them to higher levels of develop-ment.

So, in 1970, the University of East Africa was disbanded and each country estab-lished its own university, giving rise to the three universities of Makerere, University of Nairobi and Dar es Salaam.

From that humble beginning, East Af-rica has witnessed massive growth and expansion of universities. Today there are about 200 universities in East Africa, with about one million students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses. Kenya has the largest number, at 68, followed by Tanzania with 61 and Uganda 47.

Rwanda presents a unique scenario. Until October 2013, it had 20 but this shrank with the establishment of the National University of Rwanda, which merged seven universities and turned them into constituent colleges. With that, the country now has one national univer-sity with seven campuses. There are also 12 private universities. Burundi has four.

The growth of universities has closely followed the expansion of education at primary and secondary levels, where enrolments have increased massively, ne-cessitating demand for higher education.

University education has taken a to-tally different trajectory in the past two decades. In the past, admission was tightly linked to bed capacity and only a few cadres of top performing students got places to pursue degree programmes. However, since the 1990s, universities have liberalised admission and opened diverse paths for those with the basic entry requirements. Practically all the universities have introduced evening programmes, distance learning, on-line and school-based courses. Besides, many have entered into partnership with middle-level colleges to offer degree pro-grammes.

Another feature of higher education has been the growth of universities at the expense of middle-level colleges. Many certificate and diploma awarding institu-tions have been upgraded and converted into universities without replacement. The end result is that there are fewer institutions offering certificate and di-ploma courses, yet these skills are critical for an economy.

Quite significantly, there has been mas-sive development of private universities. Whereas governments played a critical role in the expansion of universities in the early years of independence, in the past two decades, the private sector has been a major driver in providing higher education. Across East Africa, the num-ber of private universities has surpassed public ones and by all indications, the trend is bound to continue.

Inevitably, the exponential expansion of universities has come with acute chal-

lenges. In the first place, expansion has not been matched by commensurate resources. Many universities are under-funded and are thus unable to provide critical learning and teaching resources, and attract and retain the best of faculty. Collectively, these have compromised quality.

In addition, concerns have been ex-pressed about the concentration on hu-manities at the expense of science and innovation. Since they are cheaper and easier to mount, most universities resort to offering humanities and quite often duplicate courses, leading to mismatch in terms of skills supply and job demand. Thus, a situation has arisen where many graduates leave universities but are un-able to secure employment, whereas there are applied occupations such as plumbing, welding, masonry and car-pentry that are suffering due inadequate qualified personnel.

Related to this, universities have not been able to adequately conduct re-search and innovate and help in solving critical existential needs of their coun-tries.

Due to financial constraints, many highly qualified lecturers have left the region to pursue lucrative careers in Eu-rope and America and a few to southern African, leading to brain drain on the Af-rican continent.

Even so, there is every reason for East Africa to celebrate the advances made in higher education. Critical challenges have emerged but everything being equal, the developments have put the region on a pedestal for socio-economic growth.

Against this backdrop, the Kenya Year-book Editorial Board in the Ministry of Information, Communications and Tech-nology undertook to document the de-velopments of higher education within East Africa and supplement it with a ca-reer guide to assist students and parents of those seeking higher education oppor-tunities to understand, appreciate and make informed choices.

It is our considered opinion that this publication will go a long way towards filling a void on literature on higher edu-cation and provide useful reading to stu-dents, academics, parents, researchers and those interested in scholarship.

In the seventies, eighties and nineties one could say with

certainty the nature of career they were in, but not any more

There is always a lot of hullabaloo after the Ministry of Education

releases the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) results. For parents and children too, the excitement soon turns to anxiety as they ponder the next step after secondary school edu-cation.

The ‘A’ students say they want to become doctors, pilots, scien-tists or engineers. Their grades can open doors for them and they are often spoilt for choice. But what happens to the hundreds of thousands who do not get an ‘A’? What options do they have? Is the current world really about ‘A’ grades only or their other things employers look for? What are the current recruitment trends?

In the 70s, 80s and 90s, one could say with certainty the nature of career they were in. Youngsters could as well plan well in advance and prepare for career lines that were well cut out. One could easily spell the type of career they were in-terested in and the boundaries were clear cut.

Stable and definite careers were a common feature of the job market and each career was well profiled. One could either be in a profession, craft or trade that was definite. Among the com-mon professions were medicine, engineering, architecture, tea-ching, accounting and banking among others. Those who could not fit in the higher tier level of profession took up the techni-cian, craft and tradesmen level

careers in various fields.However, the last half century

has seen tremendous changes in many aspects of life, one of which the transformation that has taken place in the career world. The dynamics of this changes have been driven by a variety of reasons among which is tech-nology, changed demographics, liberalisation and globalisation, global perception, social media and cultural transformation.

Several trends have manifest themselves in the sector in va-rying proportions.

African youth numbersAfrica has almost 200 million people aged between 15 and 24. The continent has the youngest population in the world – and it is growing rapidly. Africa is the youngest region in the world, providing reservoirs of change, progress and social dynamism. The youth population in Africa is expected to double by 2045.

It is projected that by the year 2030, 59 per cent of 20-24 year olds in Africa will have had secondary education compa-red to 42 per cent in 2012. This provides an unrivalled oppor-tunity for economic and social development if the talents of this swiftly increasing reservoir of human capital are harnessed and channelled towards the produc-tive sectors of the economy. If nothing is done, we risk a threat to social cohesion and political stability. The risk can only be mitigated by creating sufficient economic and employment opportunities to support decent living conditions for this group.

Young uneducated people are more likely to be unemployed or wallowing in poverty than adults. They are also more vulnerable to economic downturns as young workers are the first ones to lose their jobs in a crisis and face dif-ficulties to enter the labour mar-ket without work experience.

Careers for the 21st century

11

Although they constitute around two fifths of Africa’s working age po-pulation, they make up three fifths of the total unemployed. This phe-nomenon is not specific to Africa. Youth specific challenges, such as school-to-work transition, are evi-dent everywhere. However, in Afri-can middle income countries like Kenya, the ratio of youth-to-adult unemployment is often higher than in other parts of the world.

Jobs for young people have been created, but not enough given po-pulation growth. What stands out is that the high population growth of the 2000s did not come with a stronger job creation trend than the much weaker growth of the 1990s. At the current trend, employment creation cannot absorb the growing labour force. The existing private and public employment capacity is simply too small. With 10 to 12 million young people entering the African labour market every year, job growth must be much stronger to make a dent in the number of unem-ployed and discouraged youth.

There are many options after form four education. Some students will opt to progress to ‘A’-level while others will want to go straight to college or university. Progressing to university is highly dependent on exam scores. However, there are one year pre-university programmes mainly in private universities where students can bridge subjects that they did not have the required exam scores. After the programme, they are then allowed to pick a course of their choice for an undergraduate education.

The list of available careers has increased over time, with most ge-neric careers mutating. Paramedics, for instance, sprouted from medi-cine or Early Childhood Develop-ment teaching as an offshoot of the mainstream teaching profession.

In the past, career issues were pri-mary to other aspects of a person’s life. Career was so important that many parents choose what careers their children would pursue. This has changed and today people talk

of having a career match, where the focus is on whether the career fits the person’s interests and personal traits rather than the prestige or financial return attached to the career. This demystification of career has been a major driver towards the trend on work life balance.

Global versus local careersInformation and communication technology has made it easy for ca-reers that traverse the globe. Global workers is a new phenomenon where tech savvy executives work across the globe with aid of technology gad-gets. The growth of technology and the ease of travel has created careers that span the whole globe. The emer-gence of the expatriate worker and the globe-trotting executive is testi-mony to this.

Academia or industryIf you have grappled with the ques-tion of whether you’d be better off in academia or industry, rest assured you are not alone. Trying to decide which of the two career paths to pursue is one of the most frequently discussed topics. With the increasing availability of academic positions, most professionals must evaluate their options more critically than ever before and consider options beyond the professional path. On the same breath, most academicians have to also spice their academic careers with some professional in-dustry exposure in order to enhance their ability to link theory to prac-tice.

Emerging careersMany careers have evolved outside the loop of traditional well esta-blished careers. Cultural changes, the dynamics of the society and de-mographics have led to the birth of numerous amorphous career lines that do not need formal induction or training to delve into. Social media marketing, child care services, event organisation, blogging, entertain-ment, comedy, real estate mana-gement, fashion design, acting, ad-venture management and wellness

instruction are some of the handy examples.

Formal vs informal careersThe traditional career was formal and well structured. The trend that has taken shape is to have careers that are informal and are not based on an established body of knowle-dge. The informal career takes the shape of a hobby and is more en-trepreneurial than formalised. An event organiser, for instance, may or may not have any formal training in event management but will excel in the field partly as a result of their entrepreneurial spirit and to some extent their personal interest.

Psychometric assessmentIn the midst of all this diversity of choice, most people are unable to make reliable decisions about their career. Many grapple with the chal-lenge through guesswork, unreliable advice and gut feeling, yet there is a scientific approach to getting this vi-tal information.

Psychometrics is a science that uses the assessment of one’s mind to find out the personal attributes and traits of the person and how this re-lates to their behaviour at work and social settings.

Psychometrics assessment is a programme helps find a solu-tion to the widespread problem of the mismatch between people and jobs they desire to do. Tra-ditionally, our people qualify for training on jobs based on grades obtained from centralised natio-nal examinations and or parental influence. This mostly happens without regard to an individual’s general abilities, talents, inte-rests, inspirations and job satis-faction.

A reliable psychometric as-sessment test can be the solu-tion to all career choice queries. The test exposes an individual’s personality traits, general intel-ligence levels, psychomotor abi-lities and aptitude levels, which are important in helping make appropriate career path choices.

E Job market surveys sug-gest that now, about 50 per cent of the work-

force in many organisations should now be below 30 years. This generation of employees, known as Millennials or Ge-neration Y, now constitute at least 25 per cent of staff.

They are already the majority in some small and medium enter-prises, occupying up to 75 per cent of the job positions.

Studies point to rising num-bers of young women at the workplace. This is attributed to a number of factors. They include women empowerment initiatives that have been seen to reform of labour laws; enactment of more women-friendly workplace policies, such as those that support the needs of weaning mothers; increased awareness among

employees concerning their rights; the rising numbers of women pursuing professional training to high levels; and growing awareness among employers that a balanced gender mix at the workplace, especially at the decision-ma-king levels, raises overall pro-ductivity.

These demographic changes are happening alongside work-related regional developments, such as free movement of labour within the East African Commu-nity and global advances in tech-nologies associated with work. Thus, organisations are institu-ting policies that favour both the global nature of business com-petition and the needs of today’s professional.

Information and communi-cation technology (ICT) has particularly revolutionised the workplace.

The Internet and the social media have opened up busi-nesses to worldwide markets and competition alike. Increa-singly, therefore, professionals have to think globally when they make decisions and roll

out any activity. ICT has also boosted collabo-

ration and teamwork, which is important for the smooth flow of work and innovation. Because of the increasing demand for team-work and collaboration at work, many organisations have adopted the open plan office design, as op-posed to private offices or cubicles of the past.

Those who are distances apart are able to communi-cate real-time and at minimal costs through Skype and ins-tant messaging. They can also attend meetings through tele-conferencing.

Advanced computing and networking has enabled pro-fessionals to access their des-ktops and other work tools, such as office email from re-mote locations. To be able to work from home, as though one were in one’s office, pro-motes flexibility other than ensuring that the workflow is not disrupted by the absence of an employee.

In some organisations, staff members have the option of working from home on some

days of the week, or at certain hours, such as in the morning, until traffic eases.

Such flexibility aids the work-life balance, particularly for parents. And now cloud compu-ting, which enables reasonably safe storage of documents on-line, comes as a further boost to working away from the office. The technology allows users to store their files in a private location online. The deepening penetration of e-learning tech-nologies locally has improved access to more training by pro-fessionals. It reduces the need to be away from the office to attend class. In 2011, a number of local universities expanded their capacities to provide e-learning by installing more ad-vanced online software for the purpose. Inoorero University and Ausi, both in Nairobi, are good examples.

To the working professional, e-learning means less shuttling

between the workplace and the lecture room and, there-fore, a less negative impact on performance at both the office and college. To the employer, it means less disruption of the workflow. Employees who are studying do not have to leave work early to be in class on time.

E-learning allows the student to access the regular lessons at their convenience, so they do not have to worry about mis-sing class in case there is an im-portant or urgent assignment in the office.

The need for laptops and advanced mobile communica-tion gadgets, essentially smart phones and the iPad, has there-fore increased among working professionals.

So has the need to unders-tand computing beyond the ordinary desktop applications, whether in a rural or in urban environment.

The face of a modern worker; smiing and ready to work with others and take up more challenges.

Most employees prefer to work in an organisation where systems operate effectively and managers are friendly,

according to an industry survey. They also want job satisfaction and good relationships with their superiors. Many employees want an envi-ronment where they are appreciated and treated fairly, the survey shows.

Conducted by Deloitte & Touche among 17 companies over six months in 2013, the sur-vey showed that employees ranked operational effectiveness tops of what they considered key priorities. The survey was done under the theme of “war for talent” with focus on retention of workers in a rapidly changing business environ-ment.

In the second place was job satisfaction, fol-lowed by a good working relationship with their superiors, and confidence in the organisation.

This was different from the survey conducted in 2012, where employees ranked confidence in the organisation as the top priority,

Other factors were ranked as follows: employ-ees’ involvement in company affairs was fifth; performance and recognition (sixth), ethics and integrity (seventh), remuneration (eighth), prospects of career development (ninth) and work-life balance coming in last.

Most of these responses were different from 2012’s, except prospects for career develop-ment. Then, after confidence in the organisa-tion, which was tops, operational effectiveness and job satisfaction came second and third, respectively.

The 2013 results show that employees put more emphasis on job satisfaction and organi-sational support rather than on remuneration, as is widely believed. The best company was Craft Silicon, an information technology firm, fol-lowed by Procter & Gamble and Kenya Women Finance Trust. East African Breweries Ltd took fourth position with the Nation Media Group coming fifth.

In 2012, East African Breweries Ltd was top, followed by Kenya Women Finance Trust and Nation Media Group.

Deloitte & Touche has been conducting the survey since 2000.

Job requirements have changed dramatically in recent years due to tech-

nological advances and globali-sation.

For example, in the past 10 years, developments in ICT have tremendously revolutionised com-munication and the way business is conducted.

The Internet, Wi-Fi, social me-dia, mobile phone, the iPad, Note-pad, Netbook, and others have ex-posed local businesses to the rest of the world, tossing them into global competition as other entities from elsewhere gain entry into the local market.

Indeed, information and com-munication technology has re-volutionised the way business is conducted in all sectors of in-dustry, including manufacturing and banking. These changes have not only necessitated acquisition of new knowledge, but have also brought about fresh challenges at the workplace. They have also led to shifts in the demands of the employer regarding qualifications of workers.

Soft skills, such as effective communication, integrity, flexibi-lity, teamwork abilities, reliability, and creativity are increasingly gi-ven high consideration. Unfortu-nately, institutions of higher lear-ning have not kept up pace with the shifting demands of the work-place. Many have been slow to change their curricula and update facilities and learning equipment.

Thus, long serving lectu-

rers have frequently got away with giving lessons from the same old notes they prepared years back, the least exposed of them genuinely oblivious of changes that have occurred at the workplace. In courses such as accounting, some students only realise once they are done with studies that the systems they were trained on were no longer in use at the workplace. Similar experiences apply to other fields.

The result has been a widening gap between the institutions of higher learning and industry, the latter crying foul that the former is busy supplying them with half-baked talent.

In the past few years, employers have been viciously vocal about skills gaps among university and college graduates. They complain that they have to incur additional expenses to retrain the graduates before entrusting them with work, or insist on additional studies.

For instance, some employers now demand that bachelor of commerce graduates specialising in marketing must also pursue a post-graduate diploma by the UK’s Chartered Institute of Mar-keting, presumed to be a leading professional marketing body, before being considered for em-ployment. Some companies are establishing their own training centres to retrain fresh graduates. Nairobi’s Nation Media Group, for example, has set up a training unit, known as Media Lab, where it trains its own journalists.

Established in 2007, the trai-ning programme admits 20 stu-dents each year from universities across East Africa and takes them through the rigorous nine-month training at Nation Centre in Nai-robi before deploying them.

In 2011, the Association of

Kenya Insurers initiated a scho-larship programme in which, each year, it sponsors five graduates of actuarial science for further trai-ning in the UK. This arose out of concern about the shortage of fully trained actuaries in the country.

In the same year, Group 4 Se-curity (G4S) re-introduced a graduate management trainee programme it had shelved a while back. The security services com-pany had found it necessary to give additional training to promi-sing graduates before deploying them.

Research confirms that about 65 per cent of CEOs in Kenya are constantly worried about finding the right fresh talent in the job market. This supports the view by managers of recruitment firms who estimate that about 67 per cent of graduates produced by lo-cal universities lack the required skills for the job market.

Scholars blame this on weak or ineffective linkages between higher learning institutions and industry. While learning insti-tutions have been reluctant to engage with industry players in formulating or updating curri-cula, the latter have also been blamed for the failure to initiate partnerships, such as engaging in collaborative research and hel-ping the learning institutions to upgrade the learning of facilities.

The disconnect between the universities and industry is de-monstrated by the fact that some professional organisations have refused to recognise graduates from some of the training institu-tions.

For example, a public university had to recall some of its graduates for an additional course unit so that they could be recognised and licensed by the Kenya Medi-cal Laboratory Technicians and

Technologists Board (KMLTTB). Previously, the board had raised alarm over poor training of lab technicians and technologists.

These cases confirm the poor in-teraction between universities and industry. Worse, it creates conflict between students, universities and industry.

For example, a group of gra-duate engineers went to court to compel the Engineering Regis-tration Board of Kenya to register them. In Kenya, one cannot prac-tise as an engineer without being registered by the board.

The urgent need for education and for industry leaders to colla-

borate more actively and effec-tively cannot be overstated. The good news is that some work is in progress towards bridging this gap. For example, the Technical University of Kenya, previously the Kenya Polytechnic, has sig-ned an agreement with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) to help expose its gra-duates and faculty to industry through internship.

In this arrangement, lecturers periodically go out to work in in-dustry for three months to apprise themselves of new developments within their professions. It is now understood that for career lectu-

rers to provide relevant training to students, they must be exposed to prevailing practice.

The other key benefit is that the relationship gives the host organisation the opportunity to understand the capabilities of the learning institutions.

This understanding becomes the beginning of a relationship that is ultimately beneficial to the nation. The industry experience by faculty staff is one of the four pillars of effective management of education by institutions of higher learning. The others are consul-tancy, research and teaching ex-perience.

A university degree is no longer a visa to employment. It serves

only as a ticket to a job inter-view. Thereafter, employers direct energies into determi-ning soft skills and persona-lity attributes of the candidate. They seek to ascertain the gra-duate’s technical knowledge, including basic information technology skills.

To a great extent, it is not just a matter of how well edu-cated one is, or how many certificates one holds. It is more about translating that knowledge into work.

Management consultants and human resource profes-sionals show that communica-

tion, decision making, team-work, leadership, and problem solving skills are among those keenly desired by employers.

Desirable personality values include integrity, diligence, pas-sion for excellence, commitment to work, flexibility, reliability, self-confidence, and creativity. These are increasingly being assessed at the interview level. Hence the wide-spread use of psychometric tests to determine character and intelligence.

Surveys conducted over a number of years by different research companies have determined the soft skills most common and transfe-rable (across industries) that employers desire of their em-ployees.

Communication is the most important of soft skills. Basi-cally, work involves interac-tion, and this concerns how people communicate inter-nally and with external clients.

The ability to communicate determines how work is done. This is why employers find it a fundamental requirement to the delivery of work and rank it highly.

Close to this are inter-personal skills, also referred to as people skills. This concerns relationships with colleagues at the workplace.

Employers are increasingly interested in people who easily get along with workmates and clients, and who demonstrate high conflict resolution abili-ties. They refer to this quality as people skills or inter-personal skills, which include the ability to inspire and motivate others to work.

This skill also refers to the abi-lity to get along with others at the workplace. People who demons-trate high inter-personal skills are also team players. Employers, therefore, place great emphasis on teamwork.

Essentially, teamwork im-

proves knowledge across the organisation through inte-ractions among employees of diverse skills and abilities, and promotes synergy and camaraderie that ultimately enhance the work flow.

In an increasingly compe-titive business environment, speed and competence in ser-vice delivery is an edge that employers are keen on, and employers see teamwork as an indispensable approach.

For this to work, employers are also interested in graduates who demonstrate good analy-tical and problem-solving abi-lities. These refer to the ability to interrogate issues and im-prove work processes. Those who further demonstrate lea-dership abilities get even more attention from employers.

Organisations want indivi-

duals who are self-driven and can take charge of projects in their areas of expertise and take responsibility, and who can assist or motivate others to do more when need be.

These skills must be perfor-med with honesty and inte-grity for them to produce the desirable results. Employers want graduates who can be relied upon to deliver on assi-gnments as required, and who can be trusted in times of need to help with extra services.

It is the reason employers will be interested in demons-trable passion for the job, ener-gy and creativity.

These skills and personality attributes are increasingly in-fluencing employer decisions during recruitment. It shows that, apart from a university degree, candidates are expec-

ted to demonstrate extra com-petence.

Two factors are responsible for this trend. One is the rising competition among businesses locally and across national borders. This is pushing em-ployers to be more particular about prime talent to enable them to remain competitive. The other is the increasing number of highly academical-ly qualified individuals, as uni-versities continue to expand and others get created.

Kenya’s universities, both public and private, are now churning out more than 122,000 graduates every year, compared with less than 92,000 about six years ago. For every graduate job that an employer advertises, there are thousands of academically qualified applicants.

With declining opportuni-ties for white-collar jobs,

the Jua Kali sector pro-vides an alternative for

many school leavers.

The foundation of uni-versity education in Kenya was laid down

as far back as 1949 when Ma-kerere in Uganda, at the time the premier academic institu-tion in East and Central Africa, was elevated to offer degrees of the University of London.

But it was not until 1961 that Kenya got its first universi-ty-level institution, when the Royal Technical College was the Gandhi Memorial Colle-ge, which had been renamed Royal College, Nairobi, was accredited to offer degrees of the University of London. In 1964, it became the University College of Nairobi, a consti-

tuent of the University of East Africa, which had been inau-gurated in 1963.

However, the University of East Africa was dissolved in 1970 in line with the chilling of rela-tions between the three East Afri-can states - Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda - to establish national universities.

The move gave birth to the University of Nairobi, which led to a steady growth in enrolment to create the skilled manpower nee-ded in a newly-independent state.

At independence in 1963, Ke-nya inherited a skewed educa-tion system that grossly under-represented Africans in higher education. During the 70 years of colonial administration, edu-cation for the Africans was desi-gned to equip them with manual and clerical skills rather than the professional knowledge to enable them to perform higher level tasks. Thus, the initial mandate

of the University of Nairobi was to prepare professional, manage-rial and technical cadres to drive the economy.

Progressively, the University of Nairobi increased its enrolment from 1,000 students in 1970 to 8,900 in 1984. The increase was partly achieved by setting up the constituent Kenyatta University College.

However, the growth of uni-versity education in the post-in-dependence era was triggered by the expansion of secondary edu-cation and the mandate to train professionals to manage the di-versified economy.

Eventually, the pressure on the Government to increase univer-sity enrolment led to the appoint-ment of the Presidential Working Party on the Establishment of a Second University in Kenya 1981, under the chairmanship of Prof Collins Mackay.

kay Report led to the establish-ment of Moi University in 1984 with an academic mission to produce professional and techni-cal manpower in disciplines that included engineering, forestry, textiles, information and health.

Soon after, Kenyatta Univer-sity College and Egerton Univer-sity College were elevated to the autonomous university status in 1985 and 1987, respectively. By 1990, enrolment in the four public universities had risen to 41,000 students and there re-mained many signals that the Government was still not able to cope with the unmet demand for university education.

Nevertheless, the demand for university education increased and in 1994 the Government esta-blished Jomo Kenyatta Universi-ty of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), formerly a constituent college of Kenyatta University. In 2000, Maseno University was established, followed in 2002 by Masinde Muliro University of Science and Applied Technology. The two were constituent colleges

of Moi University. But as the Government strug-

gled to quench the thirst for uni-versity education, emerging eco-nomic opportunities in the sector were not lost to private education entrepreneurs and Christian church organisations. In 1970, the United States International University in Nairobi became the first private university in Kenya and currently has a population of 5,000 students. Subsequently, the Seventh Day Adventist Church established the University of Eas-tern Africa, Baraton, in 1978. In 1984, the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (Amecea) established the Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA).

Daystar University, another Christian institution was esta-blished in 1974, initially affiliated to Messiah College and Wheaton College - both university level institutions in the United States - and offered communication and theology degrees from those two colleges.

The Commission for Higher

Education granted a Charter to Daystar in 1994, allowing the university to award its own de-grees and diplomas. So far, there are 17 chartered private universi-ties, five constituent colleges, 12 with letters of interim authority and two with letters of registra-tion.

But what probably became the turning point towards widening access to university education in Kenya was the entrepreneurial spirit and adaptability of public universities in the absence of donor grants and reduced go-vernment subsidies. The first blow came in a major policy shift when the Government, through a recommendation by the World Bank, introduced direct payment of university tuition fees as part of the cost-sharing.

Basically cost-sharing referred to a shift of some of the higher education cost burden from the Government to parents or stu-dents, in the form of tuition fees to defray part of the costs of ins-truction, accommodation and catering services. In effect, in

the 1991/92 academic year, pu-blic universities started charging students for food in what became to be known as ‘Pay As You Eat’. The book allowance that used to be given directly to students was stopped and, instead, the money was sent to the university books-tores where students could collect their supplies.

“As a condition to receive cre-dit, public universities were from the 1992/93 academic year re-quired by the World Bank to limit admission of first year students to a maximum of 10,000 go-vernment-sponsored,” says Prof Crispus Kiamba, a former Per-manent Secretary in the Ministry of Higher Education Science and Technology and a former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nairobi.

Even before then, universities were operating on stringent bud-gets and for over two decades the institutions were under economic siege and in a state of neglect. As the facilities badly deteriorated, public universities were afflicted by a massive brain drain. Some highly qualified and experienced

lecturers left to teach in foreign universities, while others left aca-demia for the private sector and consultancy.

Hard times in the public uni-versities are well-documented by Prof Francis Gichaga, in his inte-resting autobiography, ‘Surviving the Academic Arena: My Complex Journey to the Apex’. It was during his tenure as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nairobi that parallel degree programmes, now known as Module II, were launched.

Unfortunately, the introduc-tion of the Module II degree pro-grammes was not easy. Regular students were opposed to learning with those who paid full-cost user fees who, though qualified for university education, were not admitted through the Joint Ad-missions Board.

Prodded by the World Bank, the Government shrugged off students’ concerns and in 1994 the Ministry of Education issued a policy state-ment directing vice-chancellors to launch partial marketisation and privatisation of higher education services to reduce uncertainty of budget allocations.

“This is a turning point in the development of our public uni-versities, where they are being called upon to adopt business-like financial management styles,” noted the statement. The policy unequivocally authorised universities to generate income internally and to use it for deve-lopment instead of relying on the Exchequer.

By 2000, public universities had developed an efficient money generating machine by introdu-cing commercial activities, such as bookshops, funeral and mor-tuary services and consultancy bureaux. But the main vehicle for generating resources has been through dynamic marketing of expanded academic programmes to privately sponsored students.

The scheme allows public uni-versities to admit fee-paying stu-dents after admitting the required quota of government-sponsored students. The plan has provided opportunities to many young se-condary graduates and mature persons to access higher educa-tion.

wealth, public universities have been able to rehabilitate the decayed infrastructure and, in many instances, established new facilities to cater for the expanded student enrolment. Public uni-versities have also been able to stem the exodus of lecturers from academia and there is evidence showing that some lecturers who left the universities in the 1980s and 90s have started coming back, albeit in small numbers.

Introduction of parallel degree degrees has led to a massive ex-pansion of universities and Kenya now has one of the most robust higher education systems in black Africa.

Whereas Kenya’s uni-versities had about 50,000 students in 1990/91, the fi-gure increased to 181,000 in 2010/11. Subsequently, the number of Kenya’s students in foreign universities in such destinations as the United States, Britain, India, Uganda and Malaysia has decreased considerably since 2005.

Although public universi-ties seemed to have got a life-line through the marketing of academic programmes,

concerns have emerged that the sad phase when public universities lost integrity, cre-dibility and professionalism as a result of diminishing funding and unregulated expansion is not yet over. Those worries are real in that, in the past decade, the government has consistently upgraded many middle-level colleges into constituent university colle-ges.

Additionally, following the examples of India, Nigeria and Malaysia, public universities and chartered private universi-ties have opened academic sites in urban areas similar to the academic garages in Latin Ame-rica. Such facilities specialise in evening and distance education programmes exclusively for fee-paying students.

According to Dr Carol Bidemi, an expert on higher education in black Africa, the boundaries are often blurred between the acade-mic degrees offered by elite public universities and by the vocational courses offered by middle-level colleges.

However, the main feature that academic garages and learning

sites have in common is that of lack of libraries and learning re-sources.

Lecturers recommend rea-ding, but the relevant books are not available. Consequent-ly, students survive on lectu-rers’ notes for examinations. Cheating in examinations is also high.

Amid the clamour for public universities to recapture their im-mediate post-independence glory of 1970s, under-funding seems to be at the heart of the problem.

Critics have pointed out that expansion of student enrolment as a means to raise money has been counter-productive as it has merely introduced mediocrity into academia.

It is also noted that commer-cialisation of university edu-cation has seen fragmentation of academic programmes, with course units being carved out and converted into full disciplines of study.

This has undermined the role of public universities as the cus-todians of knowledge.

Nonetheless, Kenya still has the most expansive university education system in the region.

Kenya has made great strides in university education. While at

independence, the country did not have any autonomous university, at the end of 2014, it had 67 public and private universities spread across the country, with a combined en-rolment of more than 250,000.

At independence, in 1963, the only institution of higher education was the Royal Tech-nical College, Nairobi, which had been set up in 1956 to offer professional courses below

the degree level. At the time, Kenyans seeking higher edu-cation had to go to Makerere College at Makerere in Kam-pala, Uganda, which had been established in 1949 and offered degrees through the Universi-ty of London. By 1963, only 290 Kenyan students were enrol-led for university education, the bulk at Makerere College.

In 1963, the Federal University of East Africa was established, incorporating Makerere College, the University College, Dar es Salaam, and the Royal College, Nairobi, later renamed the Uni-versity College, Nairobi.

The Federal University of East Africa, with the three campuses until 1970, when the three East African countries resolved to upgrade and set up their independent univer-

sities. Thus, the University of Nairobi, Makerere University and the University of Dar es Salaam were born.

This marked the beginning of rapid growth in university education in Kenya. The new-ly-independent state required human capital to drive the eco-nomy and the onus fell on the university to do so. With the population growing steadily, enrolments in primary and se-condary schools shot up remar-kably, causing a high demand for university education. Whe-reas 1,110 students were enrol-led at the University of Nairobi and 620 others at Makerere and Dar es Salaam in 1969/70, the figure rose significantly to 5,140 in the 1975/76 academic year.

forces and commissions for-med in the 1970s to advise on the future of the country’s education and manpower needs — namely ILO (1971) and Gachathi (1976) — dis-covered the need for the country to prepare itself for increased higher education demand.

Indeed, after the first de-cade of university education in Kenya, student enrolment had risen to more than 7,000, with the University of Nairobi recording 5,249 in 1983/84 and Kenyatta University Col-lege, which had later been established as a constituent college, registering another 2,169 students.

A major milestone was rea-ched with the establishment of Moi as Kenya’s second uni-versity in 1984. This followed a recommendation by a Pres-idential Working Party on the Second University in Kenya, chaired by Prof Collins Mac-kay.

A year later, Kenyatta Uni-versity College was upgraded and chartered to offer de-grees, becoming the third university. Egerton Univer-sity followed two years later. Jomo Kenyatta College of Agriculture and Technology, and Siriba Teachers College, which had been offering diplomas, were upgraded to university colleges to offer degree programmes through affiliation to the existing pu-blic universities.

By the end of 1990, the country had four autonomous public universities with a num-ber of constituent colleges and, collectively, they had an enrol-ment of 36,781 students, a figure spurred by two double-intakes intended to clear an admission backlog.

The Commission for Higher Education was established in

1985 through an Act of Parlia-ment and mandated advise on university expansion, in parti-cular, to award charters to pri-vate universities. In the same year, the country also changed the education system from 7-4-2-3 to 8-4-4, again through the Mackay Report. This increased the number of university quali-fiers as the entry level was lowe-red from Form Six to Form Four.

With incessant demands for university education in the 1990s, the Government was for-ced to expand higher education. Through donor-induced struc-tural adjustment programmes, the Government was compelled to reduce subsidies for the social sectors, such as education and health, hence cost-sharing was introduced in the public univer-sities and soon, parallel degree programmes for full-fee paying students. Inevitably, this had far-reaching consequences, such as declining funds to universities, diminishing quality of learning and teaching, and strikes by stu-dents and lecturers.

On a positive note, the intro-duction of cost-sharing and pa-rallel degree programmes ope-ned new avenues for universities to generate additional incomes. They were able to raise reaso-nable amounts of money to run programmes against a backdrop of declining government funding.

More qualified students who would otherwise miss out on uni-versity education got a chance to pursue degree courses through the parallel programmes. Si-gnificantly, private universities expanded a great deal, too, in the 1990s and 2000s to provide alternative avenues for degree education.

The next wave of develop-ment of universities was wit-nessed in the mid-2000s, trigge-red by increased enrolments in primary and secondary schools after the introduction of sub-

sidies in 2003 and 2008. This opened doors for many children to enter and complete various levels of education. Large enrol-ments at lower levels automati-cally meant increased appetite for higher education. Hence the necessity to expand universities. To this end, therefore, national polytechnics and several middle-level colleges were converted into university colleges.

Moreover, the Constitution of 2010 anchored education as a fundamental human right, changing the discourse as it forced the Government to pu-blish new laws on education. Specifically, the publication of the Universities Act of 2012 set in motion a raft of changes. In a dramatic departure from the past, the Act brought all the uni-versities under one law and crea-ted the Commission for Univer-sity Education with powers to supervise and control quality. Subsequently, all the univer-sities had to apply to the Com-mission for fresh charters with new administrative and quality requirements.

The number of universities has grown to 67 as at the end of 2014. The Commission for University Education has clas-sified them as follows: 22 auto-nomous public universities and nine constituent colleges; 17 chartered private universities, five constituent colleges, 12 uni-versities with letters of interim authority and two with letters of registration.

The massive expansion has not been without challenges. Questions have arisen about the quality of teaching and learning.

This is because the number of students has far outstripped the facilities and the lecturers. The libraries, laboratories and workshops are poorly equipped, while critical programmes, like tutorials and syndicates, are absent. Many universities offer

courses in the humanities in a bid to lower costs, leading to an oversupply of professionals in those areas and, increasingly, graduate unemployment.

Contrastingly, few offer pro-grammes in areas like technology and innovation, human science, engineering, information tech-nology and informatics. So, there is a mismatch between training and the job market.

Gender disparity is also a matter of critical concern at the university. On average, females constitute just a third of students enrolled. Private universities have a relatively higher number of females but that is because most of them offer the humani-ties and business courses, which still skew the gender profiles in key professions.

Expansion of universities has also taken place at the expense of middle-level colleges. Since the 1980s, when the Govern-ment embarked on increasing university places, it resorted to converting diploma colleges and polytechnics into universi-ties. The result is that there are fewer colleges offering diploma courses, yet those skills are badly required in the economy.

Fifty one years of indepen-dence have seen tremendous growth in all sectors of the eco-nomy. University education, which provides high-end human capital for national develop-ment, has evolved and matured.

The number of universities and students has increased and so have the challenges. In future, the discourse will have to change from expansion to consolidation and quality addition.

More universities will be re-quired for sure, but they should add value in terms of innova-tion, entrepreneurship and sus-tainable development so as to meet the challenges of the future generations.

addressing youth unemploy-ment. The Academy opened its doors on February 1, 2014 at Mount Kenya University Thika Main Campus. The pioneer class is drawn from the Univer-sity’s alumni and is hosted at the newly opened Chancellor’s Tower. The Academy will seek to address the twin challenges facing potential young entre-preneurs today: Lack of start-up capital and the know-how to successfully run a business. The apprentices will initially receive a three-month residential men-torship by leading entrepreneurs in Kenya, after which they will be funded and monitored up to one year post-investment.

Daniel Macharia, a Bachelor of Business Management student from Mount Kenya

University has been named the most promising young entrepreneur in Kenya. The continental-wide Top 35-under 35 CEO Awards also ranked him third in Africa. The awards recognise 35 young entrepreneurs under the age of 35 who are making change through en-trepreneurial endeavours in Africa. Macharia is the founder of the East Africa Institute of Certified Stud-ies. In the past, Macharia has been

picked by the Ministry of Informa-tion to host the Nairobi Digital ‘Pasha Centre’. The judges of the Top 35-under 35 CEO Awards were keen on entrepreneurs with focus on impact, risk-ability, persever-ance, unwavering passion, creativ-ity, leadership skills, innovation and ability to come up with new ideas to solve Africa’s problems. “I am proud to be associated with Mount Kenya University,” he says. Posi-tion one in the competition went to a Malawian, while an Egyptian was the runners up.

for job and wealth creation.

MISSIONTo catalyze the youth to be drivers of change

through entrepreneurial mentorship and training for socio-economic development.

The University reckons that there is need for a structured resource

mobilization geared towards creating an enterprising soci-ety premised on the belief that “entrepreneurs are not born

but are made”. A Mentorship, Innovation and Entreprise Fund (MIEF) has also been established, themed “Trans-forming Job Seekers to Job Creators”. This will ultimately transform into a Revolving Fund with participation of all stakeholders including private institutions and government. Mount Kenya University En-terprise Academy will channel aspirations and passion of the Kenyan youth to be drivers of change for socioeconomic development of the Kenyan people and the region in line with the objectives of Kenya Vision 2030.
