Egerton University Staff Sensitization Forum

Prof. Kibwage addressed the teaching staff on critical issues, including administrative measures, examination management, and universal academic management processes. A significant concern highlighted was the issue of missing marks, which he noted had significantly reduced in recent years. He cited an instance of a student who had missed marks for eight years due to a failure in record entry, despite passing the course. The case was resolved after an investigation by Deputy Vice-Chancellor Prof. Bernard Aduda, who discovered the student’s marked script in archives. The lecturer responsible for marking was a part-time staff member, and the Chair of the department had long left the university. Following consultations with the Examination and Timetabling Directorate led by Prof. Obwoyere, the university has since implemented measures to ensure such cases do not recur.
