HOW UNIVERSITIES IN KENYA ARE HELPING THE GROWTH OF TOWNS AND
VILLAGES, THEREBY DRIVING THE KENYAN ECONOMY TOWARDS AGENDA FOUR
ABSTRACT
There are 22 public universities, 14 chartered private universities and 13
universities with Letter of Interim Authority (LIA). These universities are
established through institutional Acts of Parliament under the Universities
Act, 2012 which provides for the development of university education, the
establishment, accreditation and governance of universities. Education is
viewed as an investment in human capital and human capital is a key determinant
of economic growth.
Universities play an important role as leaders in teaching and learning, in
education, research and technology. In teaching activities, universities
provide the professional training for high-level jobs, as well as the education
necessary for the development of the personality.
According to a 2016 report on reforming higher education in Kenya, the rapid
expansion of university education in the country was a spontaneous response to
the increasing demand for higher education necessitated by the increasing flow
of students from schools. Universities are considered to have been regarded as key
institutions in processes of social change and development. The most important
role they have been assigned is the production of highly skilled manpower and
research output to meet perceived targets. Another role that universities may
play is in the building of new institutions of civil society, in developing new
cultural values, and in training and socializing people of new social era. Universities play the role of higher education in the
economy and its potential contribution to supporting economic recovery and
development. Universities support innovation and growth, particularly at
a regional level. The business of a university not only attracts young people
to a place but also has a huge impact on the economy of both places. University
education in Kenya has experienced phenomenal growth in the last few years.
Demand for university education has continued to increase over the last few
years with many students now being absorbed in the newly created public and
private universities. Education becomes a central employer in the area.
Employment by industry confirms the value of the university, with the education
and training sector contributing one in eight jobs. Higher education makes a
fundamentally important difference to individuals, through improved life
chances and opportunities; to the economy, through innovation and skills; and
to society, increasing our knowledge, through research discoveries and
increasing social mobility and cohesion. Universities play the role of
underpinning economic growth, through the provision of higher-level skills.
Universities form a core part of the economic infrastructure, and as large
enterprises generate substantial economic activity, employment opportunities
and overseas investment. These findings demonstrate that higher education is a
significant sector of economic activity in its own right and generates more
output than many other sectors, including advertising and market research,
legal services, computer manufacturing, basic pharmaceuticals, Wi-Fi and
transport. Universities also generate more GDP per unit of expenditure than
many other sectors including health, public administration, and construction.
Universities are hotbeds of innovation and entrepreneurship. In partnership
with government and business, academic research and technologies help to drive an array of vital industries. Universities provide
students with the skills to compete in increasingly global workplaces and are
themselves major employers. Many have become centers of
technological research and innovative startups. The paper focuses on
highlighting the role of universities in bringing out economic, political,
social and cultural transformation in the society..
Key words: University, education, employment, growth,
expansion
INTRODUCTION
Universities are economic impacts in smaller cities and
towns.
Universities are considered to have been regarded as key institutions in
processes of social change and development.
Those who live near university town or city, the chances are that you can see
the benefits. Universities transform their neighborhoods, cities, regions and
nations. Universities are hotbeds of innovation and entrepreneurship. In
partnership with government and business, academic research and
technologies help to drive an array of vital industries. Universities
provide students with the skills to compete in increasingly global workplaces
and are themselves major employers. Following enactment of universities Act No.
42 of 2012, the public universities have since been established through the
award of charter. All individual Acts were repealed and the previous public universities
re-accredited through charter award after institutional quality audits. (CUE,
2013).Universities contributes to jobs (directly and indirectly) across all
skill levels. Universities can change the face of a city. As major landowners,
universities are significant investors in the built environment. Campus
developments reshape the skyline while providing new civic identities. Universities are increasingly centered as
physical and social spaces for the wider community. Universities have a
tremendous ability to attract global talent to cities and nations and this
brings in the much needed foreign exchange. International staff and students do
more than just boost the economy. They contribute to the vitality of their
communities and help develop tolerant and inclusive societies.
Internationalization helps create lasting links into global networks. Academic mobility and research collaborations extend
intellectual and cultural interaction and in doing so help to develop international relations. Numerous universities. Universities,
in this sense, are essential spaces of soft diplomacy. Universities
help address societal challenges. Universities provide local governments and
communities with a robust evidence base to inform public policy. At an
institutional level, universities are well positioned to offer comprehensive,
independent assessments of issues ranging from global health to the impacts of globalization. Academics engage in such work
not as consultants or handmaidens to government, but as critical allies. Universities also offer vital services to their
surrounding communities that are otherwise scarce, including access to health-care, cultural amenities and
even sports facilities – especially following cutbacks in public sector
funding. Many universities
also have museums, which are open to the public, and run a series
of free lectures for
the community to engage with. Universities help address societal

Many universities

creativity and open debate. Universities support a number of creative
activities. These, in turn, generate exciting intellectual and artistic scenes
that are strong pulls in their own right. Artistic and creative endeavors can
help to put a city on the map helping to boost global competitiveness. But academia’s critical cultural
impulses also catalyze necessary acts of subversion and protest which help
marginalized groups speak truth to power. This can be seen in the way the Artists’ Assembly against Austerity a grassroots alliance
of more creative artists was set up by a number of universities to help combat
the austerity agenda. Higher education improves lives of the students, the
country and Kenya. Most fundamentally, we must not lose sight of the fact that
access to higher education improves lives. It enhances self-knowledge,
employment opportunities and promotes civic participation. As agents of social
mobility, universities are more than sites of training and instruction, they
are crucial intellectual milieus where knowledge is created, disseminated and
challenged. Setting foot on campus is (and should be) an aspirational
experience. And by rendering campuses more porous universities can foster
opportunities for collaboration; knowledge exchange and social empowerment.
Well-funded and resourced universities have a tremendous social and economic
impact. Of course, tensions still exist and more can still be done inside and outside the walls of
the “ivory tower” to harness this potential. Higher education

manpower
PRESENTATION
Universities can
be anchor to institutions in local economies as major employers across a wide
range of occupations, purchasers of local goods and services, and contributors
to cultural life and the built environment of towns and cities. Regional
investment in the infrastructure of a university to support its core business
of research and teaching can therefore have a significant passive regional
multiplier effect even if the university is not actively supporting regional
development. But what of the more active contributions that universities can
make? This can be broken down into four areas – business innovation which is
closely linked, although not exclusively, to the research function of the
university, human capital development linked to the teaching function and
community development linked to the public service role of universities. The
fourth area is the contribution of the university to the institutional capacity
of the region through engagement of its management and members in local civil
society. According to McCann and Ortega-Argilés smart specialization “envisages
that the identification of the knowledge intensive areas for potential growth
and development are related to the role of certain classes of players
(researchers, suppliers, manufacturers and service providers, entrepreneurs,
users) and the public research and industry science links. The players are
regarded as being the agents who use the knowledge acquisition facilities and
resources (human capital, ideas, academic and research collaborations) to scan
the available local economic and market opportunities, to identify
technological and market niches for exploitation, and thereby act as the
catalyst for driving the emerging transformation of the economy. Universities
can therefore play a key role in defining a regional smart specializatio
strategy by contributing to a rigorous assessment of the region’s knowledge
assets, capabilities and competencies, including those embedded in the
university’s own departments as well as local businesses. Universities can act
as a powerful magnet for attracting talented students and staff into the region
from other parts of the country and even further afield. In addition, through
their teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level, universities have the
potential to add to the stock of human capital by means of graduate recruitment
into regional businesses, possibly following work placements as part of the
student’s degree. More particularly, graduates can provide the gateway or
connectivity through which knowledge exchange between researchers and
businesses takes place. But all too often teaching programmes respond solely to
student demand and a national labour market for graduates particularly when
there is no clearly articulated business demand linked to regional innovation
drivers. The consequence is often graduate emigration to more dynamic regions.
In the
societal sphere regional engagement is an obvious arena in which universities
can demonstrate their contribution to the public good through such programmes
as public lectures, concerts, museums, theatres, student community action and
recruitment of students from disadvantaged social groups. Universities can
play a key role in helping public authorities build these strategies by
enhancing the skills and competencies of their staff working in the field of economic
development through consultancy services and training of graduates. This would
involve university departments of economics, geography, planning, public
administration and business management as well as those dealing with specific
policy areas such as health, agriculture, environment and culture. A dedicated
unit may be necessary to bring these academic skills together. In the societal

Universities are
responsible for:-
Enhancing
regional innovation through their research activities
Promoting
enterprise, business development and growth
Contributing to
the development of regional human capital and skills
Improving social
equality through regeneration and cultural development
There are
generally three main thematic areas deployed by universities to support
entrepreneurship among students and recent graduates;
• training in
the skills of ‘being enterprising’
• providing business experience through
placements in local SMEs
• supporting them in the creation of new
ventures and the exploration of new business opportunities. This support can
include things like
·
Assistance with compiling a business
plan
·
Free office space and equipment
·
Free access to meeting and
administration areas
·
Specialist industry advice from business
mentors
·
Grants and financial assistance
Universities
that are actively promoting and supporting entrepreneurship amongst students
and graduates are supporting their local and regional economies two key ways;
firstly by adding to the pool of businesses in the economy; and secondly, by
retaining high skilled individuals in the region. Issues and challenges It is
important to ensure a close cooperation between the universities, the private
sector and authorities responsible for delivering regional strategies to ensure
there is coordination. Otherwise there can be resentment and tensions if
graduate businesses are seen to displace or distort existing businesses and
markets. In addition, there may be a benefit to regional policies and
strategies to create a common thread between graduate enterprise and broader
sector development activities. For example a region which is aiming to become a
global leader in ICT might want to encourage graduates to consider starting
businesses in this industry rather than another less strategic one. There also
needs to be strong links between support for graduate enterprise development
and the ‘mainstream’ support to businesses in the local area, otherwise new
graduate businesses may find themselves isolated once they move on from
university incubation support. This looks at the ways in which universities can
contribute to the cultural development of the area through promoting cultural
activities and infrastructure, but also more generally by enhancing the
amenities in the area through investment in capital development projects.
Universities are often a key partner in the development of museums, galleries,
theatre, art studios and galleries, and there may be strong links back to the
research expertise of the university which helps promote the area as a cultural
center. The investments made by universities in developing creative and
commercial ‘hubs’ can act as an attractor of further private sector development
to commercial businesses, something of particular importance to less favoured
regions where public funds may be limited. Issues and challenges Universities
and regions have been effective at using sporting activities in the same
strategic way as they have collaborated on cultural development, but sport may
have more potential to ‘reach out’ to a wider section of the population. Strong
partnerships between the university, public and private sectors is essential to
ensure that projects and investments complement and enhance each other and that
economies of scale are maximized. By working together with partners,
implementing school programmes, future days, special exhibitions, seminars and
other activities, Universities provides space for creativity and new
initiatives and encourage the curiosity of young people and encourage the
desire to learn more.
STATEMENT OF
THE PROBLEM
The research was done as a result of the
government of Kenya wanting to close down Universities or merge them and render
lecturers jobless. Also this research expounds on the benefit of a University
in a community, town and the country Kenya at large. Thus the government in its
sessional paper 1 of 2005 undertook to promote expansion of University
education in line with population growth and demand for university places and
research facilities with the foresight that with FPE there would be need for
more universities to complete the transition of education. Higher
education institutions serve as a focal point for increasing the education
level of the local workforce, home for the arts and culture, and as a source of
employment. Faculty, staff and students provide a strong consumer and support
base for local businesses, parks and nonprofits. Local authorities, businesses,
and higher education institutions should work together to strengthen civic
indicators from educational outcomes, reduced crime rates, and more accessible
public transportation. Affordable, high quality off-campus housing is a concern
for students as well as residents. Universities and city leaders need to work
in partnership to ensure safe, affordable and accessible housing options are
available. The
research seeks to provide an analysis of how universities can impact upon regions,
towns and villages and how they can be mobilized for regional economic, social
and cultural development.
METHODOLOGY
A descriptive study design was employed
in this survey. This enabled the researcher to study phenomena. The
present study was exploratory and was appropriately executed through a
descriptive survey. Survey research is a self-report study which requires
the collection of quantifiable information from a sample. The study
was done in Technical University of Mombasa,Moi university in Kitale, and Mount
Kenya University in Mombasa County which were quantified and
analysis drawn on the basis of proportions. This research design was found
to be suitable for obtaining information in the Universities and the
inferences derived from this study are appropriate because the variables
are known and can be used to further the interest of Universities
in Kenya. Experts in the field were also contacted. Data collection was
through the use of structured closed ended questionnaire, interviews, magazines
and journals.

MOI UNIVERSITY MAIN CAMPUS
Universities foster creativity and open
debate. Universities support a number of creative activities. These, in turn,
generate exciting intellectual and artistic scenes that are strong pulls in their own right. Artistic and creative endeavors
can help to put a city on the map helping to boost global competitiveness. But academia’s critical cultural
impulses also catalyze necessary acts of subversion and protest which help
marginalized groups speak truth to power.lnside the main campus there are over 100
shops, salons,barber,cyber café,hotels,kiosks,butcheries,groceries,rental
houses, bars, etc this is like a trading center which sprout up

Many students have taken accommodation in
nearby rental houses that most owners converted them into hostels to
accommodate the very many students seeking accommodation. Businesses like
shops, butchery, kiosks, café, cyber café, hotels etc sprung up to assist
students with the necessities. This has benefited many people in employment
both direct and indirect. The area called buxton,kiziwi,tudor have become known
because they provide students accommodation and other personal necessities.

CONCLUSION
University education is one of the most rapidly expanding
sub-sectors of the education sector in Kenya. Demand for university education
has continued to increase with many students who are unable to be absorbed in
Kenyan universities seeking admission in institutions of higher learning
outside the country. Historically, the contributions of universities and other
higher education institutions (HEIs) (hereafter referred to collectively as
universities) to their host cities or regions followed closely that of their
traditional roles of providing education and research in order to create
knowledge and develop human capital. There is also a third mission of
universities that can include many different functions, ranging from one-way
transfer of knowledge and technology to providing relevant competence, actively
supporting entrepreneurship and participating in innovation activities. All of
these activities form essential missions of institutions of higher learning,
and are perceived by the public as such. Increasingly, however, universities
are becoming involved in community development initiatives that have not been
traditionally considered within their realm. Urban universities, especially,
are recognizing that they must directly intervene to stem the decline of the
neighborhoods that surround them. Higher education institutions are
valuable commodities for their cities. Since the very beginning of Kenya’s higher
education, cities have fought to have colleges and universities in their
communities. The reasons for this are obvious– at least to some– as
institutions bring a wealth of advantages and benefits to the areas where they
are located. The value of the nation’s higher education system is usually
expressed as just that education. But while the educational mission of Kenya’s
colleges and universities is critical, often missed or neglected by local and
national policymakers is the value of these institutions to economic growth.
This is particularly true for those universities located near major employment
neighborhoods of large cities. It shows how these “downtown” universities punch
above their weight as economic anchors for both the regions in which they are
located and the nation. Research universities are essential for innovation, and
innovation is essential for economic growth. In a high-wage economy like Kenya,
long-run growth can occur only by inventing new things to sell or improving the
quality and reducing the cost of existing products and services. This process
is called innovation. There are many ways firms innovate, but a major way is through
the activity of the nation’s university system. These University expenditures
have been shown to lead to an increase in average income within a city. Put
another way, the overall multiplier effect of university activity is the
university’s own shillings plus the external effect Universities
located in urban areas produce more patents, corporate partnerships, and
startups.. Instead, academic ideas and publications must be translated
to industry through patents, licensing agreements (where firms pay to use a
university patent), and the creation of startups that directly take academic
science and apply it to real-world problems. Universities located within
innovation districts build on existing urban assets. Research universities are
best positioned to have economic value when they cluster near firms,
entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and other resources that deploy technology
into the market. By generating new ideas and research, universities are at one
end of the innovation pipeline but it takes large companies and startups to
create new products and services from those ideas along with banks, venture
capitalists, angel investors, and others to capitalize the efforts. Research
indicates that these activities are more efficient and more likely to generate
economic value when they are geographically proximate. Downtown
universities specialize in research. Because research is associated
with new invention and innovation, research universities are uniquely important
for the innovation economy. One of the most pronounced differences between
urban and non-urban schools is the relative size of their research budgets.
While downtown universities make up only a quarter of the nation’s research
universities, they account for one-third of university. Downtown
universities still have a lot of room to improve their outcomes. While urban
schools punch far above their weigh in terms of licenses, patents, and startups
per student, they perform on par with peers in terms of patents and startups
per research dollar. As the country searches for new sources of innovation,
jobs, and growth, policy makers should consider how some of its oldest
institutions research universities are best positioned for the new economy.
Research universities are essential for innovation, and innovation is essential
for economic growth. In a high-wage economy like the United States, long-run
growth can occur only by inventing new things to sell or improving the quality
and reducing the cost of existing products and services. This process is called
innovation. There are many ways firms innovate, but a major way is through
the activity of the nation’s university system. This fact is reflected is the academic literature. Downtown
schools produce 71 percent more licensing deals, patents, income from licensing
deals, and new businesses, respectively, as their rural, suburban and college
town peers. Universities located within innovation districts build on existing
urban assets. Research universities are best positioned to have economic
value when they cluster near firms, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and
other resources that deploy technology into the market. By generating new ideas
and research, universities are at one end of the innovation pipeline but it takes
large companies and startups to create new products and services from those
ideas along with banks, venture capitalists, angel investors, and others to
capitalize the efforts. Research indicates that these activities are more
efficient and more likely to generate economic value when they are
geographically proximate. Many local residents may be employed by the university—which
may be the largest employer in the community—many businesses cater primarily to
the university, and the student population may outnumber the local population.
In Kenya over the past few decades, so-called "college towns" have
cropped up near colleges and universities, but these are distinctly commercial
enterprises designed and built by commercial development companies and
consisting of shops and, in some cases, upscale housing. They are, in effect,
small shopping plazas, often built to vaguely resemble a college "quad." Universities in
the round have potentially a pivotal role to play in the social and economic
development of their regions. They are a critical ‘asset’ of the region; even
more so in less favoured regions where the private sector may be weak or
relatively small, with low levels of research and development activity.
Successful mobilization of the resources of the university can have a
disproportionately positive effect on their regional economies and achievement
of comprehensive regional strategies. In order to effectively engage
universities, public authorities need to understand the principles underlying
why universities can be important agents in regional development. There is also
a range of mechanisms available to support engagement, many of which are already
being deployed. However it is the strategic coordination of these within a
wider policy context that will produce the maximum impact. It is important to recognize
that there may well be a series of complex barriers and challenges to be
overcome, both internal to the universities and in the wider enabling
environment. If public authorities and the key regional partners understand the
principles, practices and barriers and how to overcome them, the potential for maximizing
the contribution of universities is almost boundless. Achieving this is a long
term objective and will require a staged approach moving from simple projects
to more integrated collaborative program. The University can therefore act as a
catalyst or facilitator in the development of network and cluster organizations.
These are particularly important as they can aggregate demand from a number of
firms for innovation and thus strengthen the ties between university research
activity and commercial exploitation. The public sector speaks with one voice in their
understanding of the issues facing the region and how to overcome them, and has
the mechanisms and political will to build consensus. The private sector has a
coherent and representative voice for example; through business associations,
networks or cluster organisations and the willingness to work beyond the
parameters of the narrow self-interest of their business/sector. There are
synergies between the intellectual assets of the region’s universities and the
needs of business in developing innovation capacity.
RECOMMENDATION
A recent directive that Universities merge or
be closed down is null and void. Universities build a country and are fountain
of knowledge. Let the ruling party in Kenya value education by stopping the
proposed merging of Universities and closing others. This is against the
President Agenda 4 initiative which is out to create jobs for the youth. This
research has shown that everywhere where a University is located over 1000 jobs
are created. So closer of any University will occasion a loss of jobs of
not only the lecturers, subordinate staff but those people who have set up
business outside those Universities and their dependents whose number is huge
and the community at large. Historically, the contributions of universities and
other higher education institutions (HEIs) (hereafter referred to collectively
as universities) to their host cities or regions followed closely that of their
traditional roles of providing education and research in order to create
knowledge and develop human capital. There is also a third mission of
universities that can include many different functions, ranging from one-way
transfer of knowledge and technology to providing relevant competence, actively
supporting entrepreneurship and participating in innovation activities. All of
these activities form essential missions of institutions of higher learning,
and are perceived by the public as such. Increasingly, however, universities
are becoming involved in community development initiatives that have not been
traditionally considered within their realm. Urban universities, especially,
are recognizing that they must directly intervene to stem the decline of the neighborhoods
that surround them.
