Mt Kenya University unveils ‘digital bus’
Mount Kenya
University (MKU) has unveiled a “digital bus” that the school management says
will revolutionize student transport in Kenya.
The
62-seater bus, acquired at a cost of Sh15 million, is fitted with high speed
wireless internet, secondary charging ports for digital devices and
interconnected TV screens to enable students carry on their studies “on the
go”.
While commissioning
the bus at Thika Main Campus on Thursday, the university Vice-Chancellor Prof
Stanley Waudo said MKU was pace-setting in delivery of quality education
programmes.
He said this
was a bold step towards embracing online learning.
“In future,
the number of students applying for online courses will be at par with those
who physically attend classes,” said Prof Waudo.
“We want to
ensure our students are well-entertained and informed especially while
commuting to and from academic trips.”
Student
Council President Simon Kimani thanked the university chairman Dr Simon Gicharu
for continuous commitment to improving the infrastructure, which has created a
conducive learning environment.
