It is therefore important that the users and beneficiaries of that technology have a solid knowledge of both components, mathematics and computer science. This knowledge will help them to better appreciate the technology at hand and, more importantly, to use it much more efficiently. Our students of mathematics and computer science will certainly be important users of this technology. Our programme aims to equip them with a strong base, which should enable them not only to appreciate and use the technology more efficiently but also to eventually improve it. The programme of study leads to the academic degree of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science (BSc). The programme offers four options of concentration: two in Mathematics (Applied Mathematics and Statistics) and two in Computer Science (Software Engineering and Computer Networking). The specific objectives of the programme are to produce a graduate who will: • Work comfortably in a computerized mathematical environment Be adequately prepared for post-graduate study in either Mathematics or Computer Science. Option courses in the third and the fourth year are intended to help reach this objective. The Proposal was approved by the Commission for Higher Education on 19th March 2004 2002-10-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/142 PROPOSED CURRICULUM FOR: BACHELOR OF EDUCATION IN SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION Kenya Methodist University The rationale of Bachelor of Education (Special Needs Education) Programme is to train students to become competent special needs teachers in the aspects of Social Studies, Agriculture, Mathematics and Science as well as Language education in primary schools and other special needs education institutions. According to the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme 2005-2010 one of the constraints facing access, equity and quality in the provision of education and training to children is "inadequate capacity, competence and I skills among many teachers to handle children with Special Needs". The Bachelor of Education (Special Needs Education) is a fitting response to these needs. The main goal of the programme is to produce graduates with knowledge, skills and competence to teach and manage Special Needs Education Programmes in an inclusive classroom environment. The degree programme was approved by the Commission for University Education on 14th October 2014 2014-09-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/121 Accreditation report for Daystar University Daystar University Daystar University College has been under the guidance of the Commission for Higher Education for the purposes of accreditation in Kenya since 1986. Since that time, the Commission and its various Committees, have carried out a number of Inspections/visitations on Daystar between 1986 and 1992. The preliminary visit was carried out in July 1986. This was followed by a more detailed inspection and visitation in August, 1987, during which a number of recommendations were made to Daystar with regard to physical facilities, academic programmes, financial resources and draft charter. The 1987 inspection was followed by the 1990 and 1992 inspections and visitations during which, not only did the Inspection Committee interview the Principal and his chief officers, but also the Governing Council, academic staff and students on various issues. The inspections by the Inspection committee were preceded by the inspections by the Technical Committee, which gave detailed reports on physical facilities, and which therefore became the basis of the inspection of physical facilities by the Inspection Committee. The 1992 inspection/visitation was a much more• comprehensive one, covering as it did, all aspects of institutional accreditation, with a view to finding out the state of preparedness of Daystar for the award of charter. The 1992 inspection coincided with Daystar's rapid development of the Athi River Campus, which had been acquired in 1990, and to which they had moved first year students in September 1992. From the interaction Daystar has had with the Commission, we believe that they have learnt a lot, and are thus now fully conscious of the high academic standards the Commission has set to establish in Kenya, as well as high standards expected of them in all fields of their operations. We believe that Daystar is now in a position to take off as a university institution, capable of formulating sound policies and regulating its own academic standards, with the sole purpose of promoting quality higher education in Kenya. As part of the accreditation exercise, we have made a number of recommendations on which Daystar is expected to take actions within the next one to three years, as a condition for the award of Charter. With the resolve they have shown to develop as a university institution in Kenya, we have no doubt that they will take action on the recommendations as required, and live up to the expectations the Commission has built on them. The Commission therefore has no hesitation in recommending that Daystar be awarded a Charter. The Accreditation Report is presented in two volumes. Volume I deals with the Charter, Statutes and Report on the inspections and visitations by the Commission. Volume II deals with the Curriculum. 1994-07-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/119 Accreditation report University of Eldoret Chepkoilel University College was a constituent college of Moi University in Kenya. The College was established under Legal Order No.125 of 13th August 2010. The growth and development of Chepkoilel University College is guided by government and institutional policies and plans. The University College is located in Eldoret, 330 km Northwest of Nairobi and 9km from Eldoret town along the Eldoret-Ziwa Road. The University College started as a Campus of Moi University in 1990, to deal with increased student numbers following a double intake that was occasioned by the change of Kenya's secondary education system from 7-6-3 to 8-4-4. Having inspected the Chepkoilel University College, examined its instruments of governance, its academic programmes, physical, human, library and financial resources, the Commission recommended that the University College be upgraded to a fully-fledged university to become the University of Eldoret. The new University was expected to implement recommendations contained in this Accreditation Report in order to enhance the quality of teaching it offers to its students and play a greater role in the development of this country. A summary of the Commission's findings including an update of the current status is contained in this report. This accreditation report is in two (2) volumes: a) Volume 1 contains the Charter, Historical background, philosophical and the accreditation process that let to award of Charter; and b) Volume 2 contains the programmes offered by the University. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z
