Happy Madaraka Day!
As we celebrate the freedoms and self-governance attained through Madaraka, we are reminded that true independence is strengthened through education.

Education empowers individuals to think independently, innovate boldly and contribute meaningfully to national development. It equips citizens with the knowledge and skills needed to shape their future and drive Kenya's social and economic transformation.

At Mount Kenya University, we remain committed to nurturing leaders, innovators and change-makers who embody the spirit of Madaraka by using education as a tool for empowerment and nation-building.

Together, let us continue advancing the ideals of freedom, opportunity, and progress through quality education.

MAJOR WIN FOR MOUNT KENYA UNIVERSITY'S ORAL HEALTH PROGRAMME!

The High Court has quashed a directive by the Ministry of Health that sought to discontinue the Bachelor of Science in Oral Health programme at Mount Kenya University (MKU).
The Court ruled that the programme is legally accredited by the Commission for University Education (CUE) and that the Ministry of Health has no legal authority to shut down university academic programmes.

In its judgment, the Court found that the Ministry acted outside its mandate and violated the Universities Act. It also recognized the potential harm to over 225 students whose education and future careers would have been disrupted.

=> The programme remains valid and protected.
=> Current students can continue their studies.
=> Only CUE has the authority to approve or discontinue university programmes.
