Education team must do more than just close universities

Between January and December 2015, the Commission for University Education (CUE) in its first satellite campus accreditation exercise inspected a total of 56 campuses in Nairobi, Lodwar, Western, Nyanza and Rift Valley.

During the time, it identified eight campuses for closure in Nairobi and 11 in Western, Nyanza and Rift Valley regions, a total of 19 representing a high of 34 per cent. The commission is in the process of inspecting campuses in Eastern, Central and Coast, its third cluster in the region according to its Chief Executive Officer David Some.
