NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences shares their expertise in Competence Based Education in latest Project Workshop
Learning and bench marking continues as project training and materials are being developed. Project Consortium representatives gathered Sept-Oct 2026 at NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. The topics covered included; Universal design for learning (UDL), Competence Based Education (CBE), Open Education, Inclusive Education and Designing Universal Accessible Learning. This activity aimed at supporting the transition to CBE curricula in Uganda and Kenya.
Enhancing Adoption of Competence -based Agricultural Curricula in Higher Education Institutions in Kenya and Uganda
Transformation of University Education towards Competence Based Education (CBE)
We stand out.
The project name AgrCBE derives from the background of the project of testing and piloting of the CBE tools which is to be done in early adopter institutions Gulu University, Bishop Stuart University, Egerton University and Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. These institutions partnered in another EACEA funded project called AgriSCALE which ended in 2024.
In that project, the gap in Competence Based Education governance was identified, and the discussions with national Higher Education Institutions governance gave birth to the project AgrCBE in 2025, also funded by the European union.
Therefore, it is need-based to help National Higher Education Councils in Kenya and Uganda meet their regulatory tasks in managing Competence Based Education (CBE).
