Capstone assignment title:
DOCTORAL EDUCATION IN KENYA: SUPERVISION ALLOCATION AND SUPERVISOR CAPACITY
Capstone assignment abstract:
There is a huge demand for an increased output of PhDs in Africa. The past decade has seen many African universities increasing their efforts in enrolling more PhD students. These efforts have led to significant increased enrollments in doctoral education in most universities in Africa. This increase in enrolments in the past decade maybe attributed to several doctoral education funding organizations. However, doctoral supervision remains a challenge in most African Universities. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that the PhD graduation rate in most universities in Africa is very low, the dropout rate high and the time to completion often more than twice the prescribed time. This articles therefore, looks at the supervision allocation and supervisor's capacity in the context of doctoral Education in Kenya.
