Kabarak University has officially concluded a high-impact Competency-Based Education (CBE) training program for its academic staff—an initiative spearheaded by the Directorate of Excellence in Learning and Teaching (DELT) under the dynamic leadership of Prof. Gladys Kiptiony. Held over several days, the training equipped faculty members with modern pedagogical tools to enhance learner-centered instruction and align curriculum delivery with industry and societal needs. The closing session, held this evening, was graced by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Henry Kiplangat, alongside Deputy Vice-Chancellors Prof. John Ochola (Academic and Research) and Prof. Ronald Chepkilot (Finance and Administration).
In his closing remarks, Prof. Kiplangat reaffirmed the university's commitment to empowering its staff, emphasizing that “CBE is the future of quality education, and Kabarak University is dedicated to ensuring that every academic member is well-prepared to meet that future with confidence.” Prof. Kiptiony echoed this sentiment, stating, “This training marks the beginning of a transformative journey toward more engaged, competent, and impactful teaching.”
As the institution continues to embrace CBE, Kabarak University positions itself not merely as a participant in educational reform but as a national leader in shaping the future of higher education in Kenya and beyond.
