The system will guarantee access to accurate data for planning and strategic decision-making on various aspects of education. The system will also harmonise the management of data on education from Early Grade learning to University level.

MNUC appreciates the critical role its staff plays in realizing strategic goals and mandate through various means.

Immense gratitude to MNUC students and students from Kenyatta University IEEE chapter for taking the time to speak to and inspire the pupils and students present during the early morning mentorship session; and to our sponsors Equity Bank Kenya (Gatundu Branch) and Family Bank Ltd (Gatundu Branch).
