Message from Principal Prof. Isaac Jumba The College of Education and External Studies (CEES) is one of the six colleges that constitute the University of Nairobi. It is the oldest college in the university because it's origins go back to 1953 when it was established as an Extra-mural centre of Makerere University. It has in the last five decades spearheaded the development of Open and Distance education alongside the training of graduate teachers for our secondary school system as well as other tertiary institutions. In addition to realizing the University's Mission and Vision, the College also aims at maintaining a leadership role in the generation, acquisition, application, dissemination and preservation of knowledge as well as consultancy and research as it trains graduate educators and provides an environment in which the frontiers of knowledge are expanded. The college also aims at being a leading Centre of Excellence in graduate teacher education through different modes of delivery such as face to face, Open, Distance, e-learning (ODeL). While pursuing these goals, research and community service for sustainable development remain the focus of our work.
