Justification of the Need for the Programme

Any institution of higher learning must conform to international trends in relation to the program it develops.

This calls for regular and periodic review of our curriculum to incorporate those skills and competencies needed in the world today. Educational Foundations remains one of the powerful departments in the school of Education and lifelong learning whose contribution to teacher Education cannot be overemphasized and is indispensable in pursuance of the Sustainable Development Goals. It is therefore important that the University develops programmes that will help the Kenyan Government to come up with strategies that respond to both global and national goals of Education and Development. In tandem with the spirit of diversity and inclusion, as stipulated in Competency Based Education (CBE), ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ offers a Masters of Education degree in Educational Foundations.
