Education Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i has given strict directives to Kenyan universities as he continues to implement measures to revolutionalise the education sector.
Speaking during the 56th graduation at the University of Nairobi, Matiang'i ordered universities to streamline their systems to avoid rampant issues of missing marks.
He further ordered the institutions to re-look into their academic programmes to ensure they maintain credibility and integrity in their examinations.
According to the CS, time had come for universities to produce quality graduates, in all sectors, who are disciplined enough for the Kenyan economy. Matiang'i further called on more students to enrol in science and technical courses.
"The relevance of our education system must be underpinned in the national objectives. We need more students to pursue Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics,” he stated.
The CS was gracing the graduation which saw close than 8500 graduands being conferred with Diplomas, Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate degrees in various disciplines.
In the meantime, the University divulged that it would confer President Uhuru Kenyatta with an honorary doctorate degree “in recognition of his selfless service to Kenyans”.
