Variations in quality, financing and the length of time students take to complete degree programs were some of the challenges identified to implement the EAC's CHEA at the recent Inter-University Council of East Africa forum.
After months of delays, plans to create a Common Higher Education Area across five East African states are finally being realised, with authorities moving with speed to spell out the next steps to make the plan a reality.
University students from the East African region will be able to transfer credits from one university to another within the East African Community from February, if the region’s heads of state endorse a plan to create a common higher education area.
