The Kabarak University School of Business and Economics (SBE) has launched a strategic six-day intensive training program to transition its academic offerings from a traditional knowledge-based model to a Competency-Based Education (CBE) framework. Commencing on February 20, 2026, this proactive initiative is designed to strengthen the University’s preparedness for the first cohort of Grade 12 CBE learners expected to join higher education in 2029. During the opening sessions, Dean Prof. Patrick Kibati emphasized that this shift is essential for developing graduates who possess not only theoretical knowledge but also demonstrable skills, professional capability, and real-world performance.

Kabarak University has officially opened its gates to host the 2026 Kenya Universities Sports Federation (KUSF) National Play-Offs. Running from February 19th to 21st, this prestigious three-day event has transformed the campus into a centre of athletic excellence, bringing together the finest student-athletes from across Kenya to compete for national honours.

The third book club session of the year convened on 17th February. The evening involved a critical engagement with African leadership through the text: ‘Politics as a Vocation’, a lecture by Hon. Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o, excerpted from An Evening with Tom Mboya, published by the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. This seminal text provided a deep, reflective tribute to one of independent Africa’s most respected statesmanship. The primary aim of the discussion was to explore the author’s nuanced analysis of Thomas Joseph Mboya’s life, not merely as a historical retrospective but as a dynamic and necessary interrogation of leadership ethics for contemporary Kenya. The discussants discussed the text, forming a dialogue on hope, betrayals, vision and the enduring ethical questions of leadership. The session was moderated by Joy Kemboi.
