The Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology: The Department of Horticulture offers a BSc course in crop protection and a postgraduate course in plant health sciences and management, with 25 teachers holding a PhD and six technicians. Most teachers obtained their education through traditional teaching methods, hence their capacity in digital skills needs to be upgraded. Digital skills in plant pathology courses are needed to improve the students’ ability to meet the needs of the job market. At theInstitute of Biotechnology Research (IBR), postgraduate students associated with projects in Plant Pathology undertake their courses in other institutions such as Kenya PlantHealth Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) that provide pathology and entomology laboratories, as these facilities are lacking in JKUAT. Consequently, there is competition for the equipment between teaching and research. The Horticulture Department and IBR’s Molecular and Tissue culture laboratories are not well equipped and have limited, out-of-date equipment. The two laboratories have no capacity to deliver digital content and widely distribute online material across borders. There is a strong need to train the existing staff on new innovative tools in plant pathology/virology, and for the students to start gaining interest in the importance of having digital skills in plant pathology.
