The School of Education has been in the existence in this University since 2010. It was established to provide the quality Teacher Education programme with focus on preparation and production of innovative and competitive school teachers. This is based on the quality objectives of the School which are to prepare prospective teachers; conduct research, out-research education and extension services, consultancies and establish educational linkages and partnership with stake-holders in Teacher education programmes. These objectives are the drivers and guidelines of the operations of the School.

The School of Education has eight established departments namely: the Centre for Teacher Education, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Management, Educational Psychology, Foundations of Education, Science Education, Social Sciences and Technology Education. These departments offer eight degree programmes which are Bachelor of Education (Agricultural Education), Bachelor of Education (Arts), Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Development and Primary Education), Bachelor of Education (Home Science and Technology), Bachelor of Education (Science education), Bachelor of Education (Special Needs Education) and Bachelor of Education (Technology education). The flagship courses of the School of Education are Ethics of Teaching and Ethics of Teaching Profession.

Currently the School has a teaching staff force of fifty six and support staff of twenty four. This staff level is made up of males and females.

The present population of the students in the School of Education, excluding those from collaborating colleges, is eight thousand two hundred and twenty six categorized as Government sponsored (GSSP), Self-sponsored (PSSP), Regular and School-Based students, Diploma and Post-Graduate studies students. These students are based at the Main and University’s Eldoret Town Campus.

The School of Education has a new ultra-modern School of Education Complex structure that it moved early this (2016) year. This building has both office and teaching spaces which has greatly eased the pressure on the then existing provisions. Besides occupancy of the structure by the School, the university has installed network services and security appliances to safeguard the structure and users.

MISSION: To provide quality education, training, research, and consultancy in Science, Agriculture and Technology to meet the needs and aspirations of a dynamic society

Motto: Flame of knowledge and Innovation

The University of Eldoret (UoE) is a public institution located approximately nine kilometres North East of the sprawling town of Eldoret, Uasin Gishu County, in the rich agricultural highlands of Kenya. It was founded in 1946 by British settlers as a large-scale farmers’ Training Centre. In 1984, it was converted to a Teachers’ Training College and renamed Moi Teachers’ Training College offering diploma-level training for science teachers. Arising from rapid expansion of university education in the country, the Teachers College was taken over by Moi University in 1990 as one its auxiliary campuses - Chepkoilel Campus – hosting premier faculties of Science, Forestry and Wildlife Management; Agriculture and Environmental studies.

The Campus quickly grew to become a haven of student life and academic activity in diverse disciplines carving out a unique identity for itself and subsequently upgraded to a constituent College of Moi University in 2010 (Legal Notice 125). Upon award of university Charter by the President on 11th February, 2013, the college was renamed University of Eldoret.

We pride ourselves as a home of Agriculture, Aqua-culture/Blue-Economy and Innovation; with over 34 academic departments domiciled in 9 schools (faculties) 11 Directorates with the New Directorate of Open and Distance e-Learning being central towards offering a blended learning environment and a student population of above 12,000, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels located at our main and town campuses. Additionally, the University has established a liaison and fundraising office in the capital city of Nairobi. We boast of high caliber of faculty from a diversity of backgrounds, well grounded in their fields, providing academic leadership, student supervision and mentorship.

The University has a 50-year development blue print, the Master Plan implemented in five-year strategic plans guided by overarching policy of harnessing local resources, working with partners and accountability in leadership.
