University of Nairobi: The Department of Plant Sciences and Crop Protection at the University of Nairobi has offered a postgraduate degree program in Plant pathology since 1977. Despite the contribution of plant pathology knowledge and skills in the country’s socio-economic importance, enrolment to this program has been very low as students regard it as less marketable. In 2020, only 6 students graduated with a PhD degree; in 2021, there was only 1 student. During the same two-year period, 12 students graduated with a MSc degree in plant pathology and crop protection. The Department has 18 PhD holders and 15 technologists. Graduates from the program are having difficulties to be employed since they lack the necessary skills required by enterprise. Modernising this education program by introducing low-cost digital technologies in plant pathology and teacher pedagogy will contribute to the long-term effect on society at large, and food and nutrition security in particular. The department is one of the few institutions in the country that offer BSc in Crop Protection and MSc in plant pathology in the country. Digitalization and modernization of the program will help in making the training more efficient and attractive to students.
