The Department has been keen on providing motivation and career mentorship to schools that visit the University.
One of our fourth year B.Ed (Arts) students Mr. Alex Mwaura has emerged as a very good inspiration to other students. Here he shared some nuggets of wisdom with a visiting school.
The Department of Education facilitated a capacity building workshop for ECDE officers, ECDE teachers and ECDE parents that showcased modern approaches to early grade teaching and learning. The workshop was facilitated by Ms. Nelly Vele (standing, front row, right of Prof Kotut). Ms. Nelly is an accomplished Early grade teacher from the Agha Khan ECDE center.
One of the parents selected from among the staff members in the ECDE training workshop shares his experience with other participants on how communication about homework is done in his child’s school.

  • Message from Dr. Peter Rugano

    Welcome to the website of the Department of Education at the University of Embu. The Department was established in 2019 following the merger of the Department of Educational Communication, Administration and Planning, and the Department of Educational Foundations and Psychology, which in turn were formed in 2017 from their predecessor, the Department of Education and Social Sciences. The Department of Education holds the development and success of our students as the essential reason for the work we are called to do at the University of Embu. The Department is thus committed to providing students with diverse learning experiences and supporting their professional growth and well-being. The Department’s vision is a leader in the development of competent and reflective practitioners in instructional and administrative leadership. The Department’s mission is to develop competent and reflective practitioners and scholars through rigorous teaching, innovative research, and responsive community service. To achieve this mission, the Department is committed to educational scholarship that emphasizes the integration of theory and practice, continual learning, competency development, innovation and collaboration.
