IIOE Kenya National Centre Launch Ceremony
The IIOE Kenya National Centre Launch Ceremony will be jointly organised by UNESCO-ICHEI, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, UNESCO Priority Africa and External Relations Sector, UNESCO Regional Office for Eastern Africa in Nairobi, and University of Nairobi.
The International Institute of Online Education (IIOE) was launched by UNESCO-ICHEI together with 11 African and Asian HEIs, 9 global EdTech enterprises, and 4 HEIs in China in December 2019, with the vision to support the realisation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) and the Education 2030 Agenda by empowering the digital transformation of higher education systems. IIOE National Centre initiative was proposed by UNESCO-ICHEI in order to better serve the needs of HEIs in developing countries in terms of digital transformation. IIOE National Centres will serve as national and regional hubs for higher education digital transformation through building national IIOE networks, capacity building, curricula development and sharing, research and technical support.
The establishment of the IIOE Kenya National Centre will support empowering the country's higher education through digital transformation in alignment with the nation's development strategies. Leveraging the global network and expertise of IIOE, IIOE Kenya National Centre will play an important role in bridging UNESCO-ICHEI, national authorities and the higher education community in Kenya to realise a more sustainable, inclusive and equitable future.
