Catherine Muraga, Managing Director of Microsoft ADC, expressed concerns that many students are stranded due to the lack of tutors in their respective disciplines.
She urged scholars, industry experts, and policymakers to address the issue on time, as the country might lag behind in its push to become one of the world’s largest technology hubs.
Muraga cited the need for expertise in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, stating that institutions are struggling to find enough qualified educators to keep up with the available ones being tapped by the private sector.
Zetech University Deputy Vice Chancellor Prof. Alice Njuguna echoed Muraga’s sentiments, stating that the Kenyan market is technologically mature and that the need to address the gaps in the number of highly trained professionals to train students is crucial.
