Kabarak University is proud to announce a major achievement in our ongoing journey to be a digitally enabled, future-ready institution. During a recent Kenya Education Network (KENET) recognition forum, the University was honoured and awarded a trophy in recognition of being the top-ranked university in Kenya in terms of Unlimited Bandwidth Consumption Ratio — a testament to our robust digital infrastructure and our commitment to excellence in teaching, learning, and research.
Why This Recognition Matters
KENET periodically recognises member institutions that demonstrate exceptional performance in areas critical to digital transformation in education and research, including internet connectivity, adoption of digital tools, and utilisation of online resources. KENET (Kenya Education Network) is the National Research and Education Network (NREN) of Kenya, mandated to provide fast, reliable, and affordable internet connectivity and ICT services to universities, colleges, and research institutions across the country.
In an era where digital access drives academic success and global competitiveness, bandwidth capacity and utilisation are vital. This recognition highlights institutions with exceptional unlimited internet consumption, reflecting strong digital engagement by students, faculty, and researchers, and enabling uninterrupted access to global academic resources, online tools, collaborative platforms, research databases, and more.
