ABSTRACT
This paper argues that although the government and public Universities have committed to initiating several intervention measures targeting increasing students’ participation in Science and Technology Programmes, only 29% of students were studying a course in these areas by the year 2016. Such scenario implies that the country is seriously lagging behind in the realization of Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSP I) participation target of 50%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate some interventions that could be employed to increase student participation. The study employed descriptive survey design to target 31 public Universities, 237 lecturers, 107 Heads of Departments (HoDs) and 31 Academic Registrars. Purposive sampling technique was employed to select three Public Universities, 12 HoDs, 24 lecturers, and three Academic Registrars who participated in the study and interview schedules were utilized to collect data. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and reported in form of tables, quotations and narrations while quantitative data was analyzed by use of frequencies, percentages, means and pie charts. It was established that Inter-governmental co-operations, linkages and agreements, University-secondary schools linkages, Income Generating Activities (IGAs) and relying on philanthropic gestures were interventions employed. The study concludes that most intervention measures had not played a significant role in enhancing students’ participation and recommends that Universities should engage in Public- Private- Partnerships (PPP) in funding University education, including but not limited to the establishment of robust endowment funds through alumni and other donors for scholarships, establish and commercialize Intellectual Property Organization (IPO), promote co-operation for research, offer incentives to staff winning research grants, engage in value engineering and also diversify sources of income by adopting suitable business models ......

ABSTRACT
The study conducted at Kilimanjaro College of Health and Allied Science-Tanzania, to assess Diploma nursing program curriculum implementation using Kirkpatrick’s approach. The four levels of the model used in assessment. Microteaching steps examined classroom nurse tutors behavior of curriculum implementation process. Aimed to assess how CBET implemented, as since inception in 2008 not assessed and that if, Microteaching technique adhered to in the process besides if implementers has regulatory qualities and experience to the implementation. These help to identify gaps of the implemented curriculum besides the way forward to the solution. Census used with the study. A descriptive cross-sectional design of both quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection used. Scaled Likert’s questionnaire following the model, face-to-face interview along with observation used as tools. Nurse tutors was the treatment group whereas students were the control group and tested concurrently. SPSS v20 analyzed the model; paired sample t-test tested the performance significance whereas eta- squared evaluated it. The results between pre (M=3.36, SD=2.69) and post-test [M=6.44, SD=2.64, t (305) =20.671 p< .001 indicated significant increase in performance. The eta squared statistics evaluation of 0.58 indicated a large effect size change. From the study, tutors were committed, had enough knowledge and experience with curriculum implementation. Nevertheless, they are not sufficient compared to the modules taught. Observed major and minor errors in the study, need rectification. Therefore; Kirkpatrick’s model of assessment and Microteaching skills are innovations to measure medical education competences, need campaigns. My opinion, tutors roles need promotions moreover re-defined for awareness.
