Open University of Kenya Goes Live, First Enrollment Starts

Students can now begin submitting applications for courses through the Open University of Kenya’s application portal, which has been opened.

John Paul Okwiri, the chief executive officer of Konza Technopolis, made this statement at the beginning of the Economic Innovation Partnership Programme, which was launched in collaboration with the Korean government.

“I’m glad to report that we’ve been able to go live. Students who are able to begin registration and get admission can say a lot of progress has been made and one can now log in to the website and get admitted,” Okwiri said.

“It went live today and at the end of the day we will be able to get the number of students who have already been admitted,” he added.

President William Ruto granted a charter to The Open University, the country’s first virtual institution of higher education, in August of this year.

The Head of State’s intention to give Kenya access to inexpensive, top-notch education is in line with the award’s announcement.

According to Ruto, his administration is committed to providing challenging, business-driven education that is in line with the national vision for economic change.

“It will also build a formidable stock of qualified and skilled graduates for our market and beyond,” the President said earlier.

He continued by saying that the institution gives ordinary Kenyans the opportunity to pursue the professional training of their choosing, regardless of where they live.
