Today, I had the honour of hosting a high-level Vice-Chancellors’ Breakfast Meeting at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE), bringing together university leaders to strengthen partnerships in learner assessment, disability mainstreaming, research, capacity building, and assistive technology.
During the meeting, I reaffirmed KISE’s commitment to supporting universities through comprehensive learner assessment, screening and placement services, capacity building, and the integration of modern assistive technologies. These efforts are aimed at ensuring that learners with disabilities have equitable access to quality higher education and the support they need to thrive.
As we mark 40 years of service, I remain confident that by strengthening partnerships with Kenya’s universities, we will continue building a more inclusive, accessible, and equitable higher education system for all learners.

Strengthening Inclusive Education Through Capacity Building
Today, I had the pleasure of welcoming trainers from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE) for a week-long Training of Trainers (ToT) programme aimed at strengthening inclusive education across Kenya.
As KISE, we are proud to facilitate this important training, which has brought together trainers from all the 47 counties and refugee camps. I believe this programme is a significant milestone in advancing inclusive education and ensuring that every learner, regardless of ability, has access to quality education.
I emphasized that proper screening is the foundation of effective intervention. When we accurately identify the unique needs of every learner, we are better positioned to recommend appropriate learning support, assistive devices and educational placement. The trainers participating in this programme will become champions of inclusive education in their respective regions as they cascade the knowledge and skills acquired at KISE.
Representing the TSC Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Nancy Macharia, TSC Director of Quality Assurance and Standards, Dr. Reuben Nthamburi reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to recruiting and deploying teachers trained in Special Needs Education while continuing to facilitate specialised training at KISE. He noted that improving access to education for learners with disabilities requires collective action through supportive infrastructure, communities and families.
As KISE, we remain committed to building national capacity in disability inclusion and special needs education. Through partnerships such as this, we are strengthening the knowledge and skills of educators, improving early identification and assessment of learners with disabilities, and creating a nationwide network of trainers who will help transform inclusive education in every county.
