General
The African Journal of Education, Science and Technology (AJEST), is a journal of the Inter-Universities Consortium- Africa was developed to publish papers that have been presented during international conferences between participating universities as well as other scholarly papers contributed by others. The University of Eldoret (UOE), Kenya and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU) formerly Anambra State University, Nigeria formed the initial partnership that participated in the First International Interdisciplinary Conference which was held at the University of Eldoret in September, 2013. The Second Conference was held at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), Uli, Nigeria in September 2015. Since the first Conference held at UOE in September 2013 three other institutions have joined the consortium, the Kyambogo University (KyU), Uganda and Mount Kenya University (MKU), Kenya. The third international conference was held at the UOE in September 2016 the fourth at the KyU in Kampala Uganda in August 2017, the fifth at MKU Thika in October, 2018 and the sixth was held at UoE in Eldoret in September 2019. The KyU hosted the seventh conference in 2021, and the most recent eighth conference took place at MKU in April 2023.These conferences have continued to attract many scholars from the participating institutions and beyond, which in turn has kept the material published in AJEST fresh, relevant and interesting to readers.
