The highly anticipated gathering brought together a vital segment of the University’s ecosystem — parents and guardians — for a day of meaningful engagement, reflection, and shared purpose.
As the University continues to implement Competency-Based Education (CBE), stakeholder engagement has become more crucial than ever. This year’s meeting was a testament to Zetech University’s commitment to ensuring that students are not only excelling academically but are also equipped with the practical skills and values necessary to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
Key Issues Discussed:

Presentations by faculty members highlighted academic progress, support services, and co-curricular initiatives designed to nurture well-rounded graduates. - Industry Linkages and Career Pathways:
In a job market that rewards experience and adaptability, discussions focused on the University’s partnerships with industry and the growing role of experiential learning. Stakeholders were briefed on internship opportunities, mentorship programs, and collaborations aimed at enhancing students’ career readiness. - Parental Involvement:
A major highlight of the meeting was the emphasis on the shared responsibility of nurturing student success. Parents and guardians were encouraged to take an active role in shaping a supportive learning environment at home and within the University community.
Zetech University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Njenga Munene, lauded the stakeholders for their continued support and reaffirmed the institution’s dedication to fostering innovation, excellence, and inclusivity.
“We do not walk this journey alone. The role of our parents and guardians is indispensable. Together, we are building a generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers,” he said.
The event concluded with an open forum that allowed stakeholders to ask questions, offer feedback, and share ideas — reinforcing a culture of collaboration and transparency.
