[kictanet] The Premier B.Sc. Computer Science Programme in Kenya

[Muthoni Masinde]

Dear Nancy,
I agree with you; we actually review our curriculum every 4 years; the
current one is 4 years old and that is why we are reviewing it.  We have
always done it through the approach you have described but this time round,
we would like to incorporate stakeholders views.  Quality assurance issues
are well taken care of.

The issue of specialisation from 2nd year seems to be favoured by many and
we consider this.

Thank you very much for the comments and indeed I will be glad to receive
more ideas from ICSIT-JKUAT.

Best regards,
Muthoni
