Our View on University and College Rankings in Kenya

Rankings of Universities and Colleges in Kenya might appear to be a good thing because it attracts competition which in the long run improves quality. But to say the least, the rankings are very flawed.  They focus on Quantity! Quantity! and Quantity! The more citations, the more traffic, the more social influence the better the rankings.  
To have a more realistic view of a college or university, you need to look at the quality of the publications, quality of course material, tutors, entry value and environment of learning. (Kenya Yote)
