Strong leaders do not become calmer because pressure disappears.
They become calmer because they learn how to think clearly while pressure increases, priorities compete and certainty becomes limited.
That is the level of leadership TAL was designed for.

On Friday, June 5, 2026, the University of Nairobi underwent a formal Monitoring & Evaluation exercise by the State Department for Higher Education and Research, assessing its readiness for Kenya's Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) reform.

Since 2024, the University has been building toward this. Curriculum reviews are at an advanced stage. CBET sits as a standing item in Senate and Council to guarantee continuous academic oversight. Dedicated technical committees are steering implementation across all 10 faculties. Training of Trainers programmes are retooling academic staff institution-wide.

"As a university, our collective responsibility is to ensure that the transition results in graduates who are not only knowledgeable but also competent, adaptable, and equipped to contribute effectively to society and the economy." - Prof. Ayub Gitau @vcuonbi

As we align with national education reforms, our focus remains clear: developing graduates who are knowledgeable, competent, adaptable, and ready to contribute to society and the economy.

The Ministry delegation was led by Dr. David Watene who was accompanied by Mr. Franklin Otieno Okundi and Miss Wilksther Moraa Moindi. #WeareUoN
