The university of Nairobi in collaboration with the University of Helsinki- Finland
launched the Centre for Educational Research and Evaluation.
The centre aims at nurturing and strengthening the research culture here in Kenya.
This is a great step especially for the new competency based curriculum(CBC) which
encourages learners to be innovative through mediums like research.
In attendance was the UoN VC represented by the DVC AA Prof. Julius Ogeng'o. He
expressed his joy in seeing the launch of the research centre after almost 40 years.
