Kenyatta University Tops Ranking as Efforts Focus on Student Support and STEM Reform - October 2025

Kenyatta University has outperformed the University of Nairobi for the second consecutive year in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, published on Thursday, October 9. In primary and secondary education, over 3,000 learners in 15 schools within Kisumu West Constituency received psychosocial support ahead of national exams. This initiative was launched by the State Department for Children Services and the Child Welfare Society of Kenya (CWSK). Concurrently, a new petition was tabled in the National Assembly on October 9 by the Computer Science Teachers Association of Kenya (CSTAK), which urges policy reforms to boost STEM education in schools and address declining uptake.
