ABOUT C4RiE

The Centre for Research in Education (C4RiE), was started 6 years ago to address the following challenges in Africa:

Few education research centres
Many challenges in education (basic to tertiary levels)
Dearth of education research including measurement and evaluation (micro, macro and meso levels)
To provide sustainable education
Massification and commodification of education without taking stock of its repercussions
Lack of centres to research on education institutions and give solutions
Unifying research in all areas of education (engineering education, management education…)

VISION

To be a leading Centre for Research in Education locally, regionally and globally in scholarly and practical education providing allround education in an atmosphere of freedom and responsibility.

MISSION

To promote scholarly (speculative) and practical education research in all aspects of teaching and learning, in an atmosphere of freedom and responsibility to further the holistic and integral formation of the human being, creating a culture of continuous improvement, fostering high moral standards and developing a spirit of service and respect for others

WHAT WE DO

Research

We aim to offer practical research to resolve education challenges. In addition, we also gauge the impact of various education programmes, whether in academia or industry to help stakeholders evaluate effectiveness of their interventions and programmes. A fundamental principle is the respect of human dignity and respect of each individual.

Trainings

We offer specialized and continuous training in various education fields. The training is holistic and aimed at developing the cognitive, psychomotor, affective and social domains of the participants.

Consultancy

We offer effective education consultancy services that respond to the needs of stakeholders in line with our mission and vision.
