South Eastern Kenya University (SEKU) was among a select group of African universities chosen to participate in a landmark UNESCO-funded initiative aimed at empowering female teachers and school leaders through mobile-based learning.
The initiative was launched during a high-level Regional Inception Workshop held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The forum brought together key stakeholders to deliberate on the implementation of mobile-based digital learning solutions across the African continent under the Pan African Virtual and E-Learning University (PAVEU) framework.
The workshop convened 40 participants drawn from Kenya, Nigeria, South Sudan, Algeria, and Cameroon. With the exception of South Sudan, the participating countries were selected due to hosting a Pan African University (PAU) campus, a strategic partner in the rollout of the PAVEU digital learning initiative across Africa.
South Eastern Kenya University was proudly represented by Dr. Sarah Ndanu Mwangangi Ngesu, a Lecturer in Kiswahili and Translation. Dr. Ngesu’s participation was informed by her extensive experience in technology-supported teaching, digital learning, and research in machine translation.
SEKU’s participation in this prestigious UNESCO-funded initiative underscores the University’s commitment to digital transformation, gender empowerment, and innovative teaching and learning, while strengthening its presence in regional and continental higher education collaborations.
