Over 1,200 Educators Graduate From Aga Khan University

Aga Khan University’s Institute for Educational Development, East Africa (AKU-IED EA) celebrated the graduation of its eighth cohort, comprising over 1,200 students, in partnership with the Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI). Twenty-six of these graduates were fully sponsored by AKU-IED EA under the Foundations for Learning Project. This significant milestone underscores the transformative journey of these graduates who have completed a rigorous programme aimed at enhancing their leadership and management skills within the education sector. The knowledge and skills acquired are set to make a profound impact on the quality of education in Kenya, contributing to the development of effective and efficient educational institutions. “As leaders, you must not only manage resources and administer policies, as is often the norm; you must also champion teaching and learning. Create environments where teachers are supported, innovation is encouraged, and students are inspired to reach their full potential,” said Professor Jane Rarieya, Dean of AKU-IED, East Africa at the graduation ceremony.
