Good Afternoon! 

  • The Digital Future of Education

Today, we witness the launch of a system that will touch every corner of academic life. The University Integrated Resource Planning (UnIRP), is not a plug-and-play product but it is a custom-built digital environment, designed to enhance student experience, boost research, and enable agile learning. It is a system that listens, learns, and adapts to the needs of our customer, partners and industry.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the University Integrated Resource Planning, (UnIRP) empowers our academic ecosystem in three key ways:

  • Students will enjoy simplified admissions, real-time exam results, digital transcripts, and instant communication with staff. No more waiting weeks for results or standing in queues for registration.
  • Staff will use modules for course management, research collaboration, and curriculum design. For example, predictive analytics can identify students at risk of falling behind academic schedule, allowing for timely interventions.
  • Our ICT Hub and ICT researcher are now activated in partnership with global innovators to drive cutting-edge research and innovation.

This is the future of education—accessible, intelligent, and student-centered.

 

  • Security and Student Success

This transformation is student-centered and security-first. We understand that trust is the foundation of any digital system. The University Integrated Resource Planning, (UnIRP), incorporates:

  • Biometric-secured logins to protect student accounts from unauthorized access.
  • Real-time alerts on deadlines, fee payments, and academic notices, ensuring no student misses critical updates.
  • A mobile app for 24/7 access to everything from hostel allocation to thesis submission, making education truly borderless.

 

We are building systems that learn from students, not just serve them. For instance, the University Integrated Resource Planning, (UnIRP)UnIRP’s analytics can recommend units based on a student’s academic history creating a personalized learning journey.

 

  • A Challenge to Innovate

To every student, I say: lead this digital wave. The University Integrated Resource Planning, (UnIRP), gives you tools to take charge of your education. Use the mobile app to track your progress and engage with lecturers.

To every faculty member: unlock new possibilities in research, collaboration, and mentoring.

The University Integrated Resource Planning, (UnIRP) that we launch today includes:

  • Deployment of CRM (Customer Relationship Management) to track applications and give real time personalized responses.
  • Lifecycle automation from admission to graduation, reducing administrative burdens.
  • Enhanced academic integrity through proctoring and plagiarism detection technologies.

 

  • Conclusion

Ladies and Gentlemen, as we embrace this digital era, let us remember our roots. Mount Kenya University was founded on the principle of making quality education accessible to all. UnIRP extends this mission by breaking down geographical and bureaucratic barriers. Whether you’re a student in Nairobi, Kisumu, or across the globe on our virtual platforms, the University Integrated Resource Planning, (UnIRP) brings Mount Kenya University to you.

Karibuni nyote katika mfumo huu mpya wa kidijitali! Welcome to the new digital era! Let us seize this opportunity to redefine African higher education and inspire the world.

 

Thank you.
