Over 80 students graduate at The African Talent University in Kisumu

 A total of 80 students have today graduated at the African Talent University in Kisumu.

The Founder of the African Talent University Prof Humphrey Obora says out of the 89 who have graduated, eight have done so through Special talent.

Addressing the press during the Graduation Ceremony, Prof Obora said the University is offering talented oriented courses.

He says in the next Year’s graduation, about 20 will graduate and will be required to produce prototypes and designs.

One of the graduates is Prince Indah, the renowned Ohangla Musician who has graduated under the Special Talent Category.

Indah has graduated with Bachelors of Science Degree in Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

Indah has urged Kenyans who are talented to come and join the University since it is talent-based institution of higher learning.

Another graduate is David Otieno Anguka who has graduated in the Special talent category as a film producer.

Anguka says he has been in the field of Film production for a while, adding that this is a great moment for him having graduated as a film producer.

Prince Indah and Anguka are among the Institution's first Cohorts of 89 pioneer graduates since the University received its Interim Letter from the Ministry of Education nearly two months ago.

Prof Obora says the university has two graduation ceremonies in a year, adding that there will be one this December and it will be for academics.

The African Talent University was awarded an interim letter by the Ministry of Education recently.

The Cabinet Secretary in charge of Education Julius Migos  Ogamba said the Ministry has granted a letter of interim authority to the Kisumu based The African Talent University (TATU).

The Cabinet Secretary said the letter now enables the institution to train and award qualifications, while it works towards securing full accreditation.

He said the letter now allows the University to train and award qualifications, while it works towards acquiring full accreditation

 

The CS said by granting the Interim letter to the University, the Government is fully committed in ensuring that it expands access to higher education by increasing opportunities for education and training in addition to providing funding.

 

Proprietor Professor Humphrey Oborah welcomed the move, saying it is a culmination of a two-decade struggle marked by resistance, misunderstanding and persistent opposition.

 

“The idea has finally been recognised. In a historic milestone for education in Africa, the Government of Kenya, through the Commission for University Education, has officially accredited The African Talent University, marking the birth of the continent’s first university dedicated to talent-based learning." Prof Oborah said.
