Zetech University continues to cement its reputation as a leader in higher education with the introduction of the Bachelor of Education Science degree at their Technology Park Mang’u Campus. This new programme is designed to equip aspiring educators with the necessary skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience to excel in science education, addressing the increasing demand for well-trained science teachers in Kenya and beyond.
The launch of the Bachelor of Education Science degree is a testament to Zetech University’s commitment to academic excellence and national development. This course will provide students with a strong foundation in pedagogy, scientific inquiry, and practical laboratory work, ensuring they graduate as competent and innovative educators in line with the Competency- Based Curriculum (CBC). The programme will cover key subject areas, including Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Physical & Health Education, Home Science, Agriculture and Computer Science, integrated with modern teaching methodologies that align
with the evolving educational landscape.
Zetech University’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Njenga Munene, emphasised the institution’s commitment to nurturing educators who will shape the future of science education in the country. “We recognise the critical role that science teachers play in developing a knowledge- based economy. Confirmed and accredited by the Commission for University Education (CUE), our Bachelor of Education Science programme is designed to not only equip students with subject mastery but also instill innovative teaching methodologies that will transform learning experiences in schools across the region and beyond.”
To support the effective delivery of this programme, Zetech University has invested in world- class laboratory facilities designed to provide students with hands-on practical experience. The newly established science laboratories are outfitted with cutting-edge equipment, ensuring that students gain comprehensive training in experimental and applied sciences. These facilities include fully equipped physics, chemistry, biology labs, and an agricultural farm with modern instrumentation and safety measures that adhere to global standards.
In addition to the state-of-the-art laboratories, Zetech University has also enhanced its digital learning infrastructure to complement practical training. Interactive e-learning resources, virtual simulations, and digital teaching tools have been integrated into the curriculum to provide students with a blended learning experience that is both engaging and effective. This approach ensures that graduates are well-prepared to teach in diverse learning environments, including digital and remote education settings.
The introduction of the Bachelor of Education Science degree aligns with the Kenyan government’s efforts to strengthen STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. With a student-centered approach, Zetech University provides mentorship and career guidance to ensure that students maximise their potential. The university also fosters partnerships with leading hospitals, schools and educational institutions to offer practical teaching opportunities, enabling students to gain real-world classroom experience before graduation.
As the demand for quality science education continues to rise, Zetech University’s Bachelor of Education Science degree stands as a beacon of academic excellence and professional training. With state-of-the-art facilities, an industry-aligned curriculum, and a commitment to innovation, Zetech is set to produce the next generation of transformative science educators who will inspire and shape young minds for years to come.
