Overview

CUE's main role is to license new universities and other institutions of higher learning in Kenya. Accreditation may be provisional or permanent, and is revocable at the sole discretion of CUE. The agency is also responsible for monitoring the performance of the institutions that it licenses, to ensure that they maintain the standards, if satisfactory, and remedy those aspects, where improvement is needed. The commission is governed by a five-person Commission Board, chaired by the Commission Secretary, who also serves as the chief executive officer of the government agency.[5][6][7]
