STATUS OF NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION IN KENYA

Kenya’s journey towards industrialization and middle-income status, as envisioned in Vision 2030, hinges on the development of a skilled workforce in nuclear science and technology. To achieve the vision, Kenya must invest in nuclear education. A shortage of nuclear courses and trained professionals threatens progress in energy, health, and agriculture. Encouraging student engagement through introductory courses, scholarships, and internships is crucial. Collaboration between universities and nuclear institutions is key to developing the skilled workforce needed for sustainable development. Dr. David Otwoma otwoma@uonbi.ac.ke
