To uphold the University's commitment to Creativity, Excellence and Self-reliance, the School of Education offers the most enriched and diversified programmes in the disciplines designated as Educational Foundations; Educational Psychology; Educational Management, Policy and Curriculum Studies; Special Needs Education; Early Childhood Studies and Library and Information Science.
In all these programmes (linked with other disciplines in the Arts and Sciences) research and high quality teaching and training, occupy the centre stage in both the undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
The School will always remain relevant and play the leading role in the development of human resource to match the labour market in the education sector and other related industries world-wide. To maintain this focus, the School has continued to review its programmes and has applied modern scientific pedagogical and research techniques to produce highly trained human resource in the various disciplines of education in the country, in the region and the world over.
The School has also greatly improved staff and student service delivery at the Dean's office and at the departmental offices to meet customer needs.
The following projects are ongoing in the School: the School Safety Project; the Marsabit Distance Learning Initiative; the Research Consortium on Educational Outcomes and Poverty (RECOUP); Africa-Asia-Dialogue for Educational Development Network Research Consortium; and the Braeburn Project.
The School intends to further diversify its programmes to meet the ever-changing job-market demands, both locally and internationally, intensify research activities and findings, and provide relevant consultancy services to various sectors of education and other related fields.
The School also plans to initiate and enhance new linkages with strategic partners to foster common interests for faster development in education ventures, publish more articles on the School Journal (AJES), and organize conferences and workshops to keep abreast with the changing global trends in education.
Other projections include recruiting and training more staff to meet the University's expansion trend, and splitting the School of Education to create more schools and departments with a view to elevating it to become “College of Education and Human Resource Development”.
