The Federation of African Universities (FAU) as is a continental non-governmental and not for profit confederation set up by universities in Africa to promote cooperation among themselves and with the international academic community now FAU thrilled that the Strathmore University is a modern university with a global outlook, with a vision of becoming a leading outcome-driven, entrepreneurial research university.
Strathmore College was started in 1961 as an Advanced-level Sixth Form College offering Science and Arts subjects by a group of professionals, who formed a charitable Educational Trust (now the Strathmore Educational Trust). Strathmore College was the first in Pre-independence Kenya to accommodate all races, religions, and social standing. Saint Josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei, inspired and encouraged them to start the College.
In March 1966, the first intake of Accountancy students, twenty-five in number, joined the Sixth Form students and began preparing for the examinations of the UK-based Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). These first Accountancy students were sponsored by Shell East Africa, BAT (East Africa), and the East African Breweries. At this time Strathmore College was unique as a fully integrated post-Form 4 institution offering both academic and professional courses.
In October 1982, owing to the increased demand from companies for the professional training of their employees, the College began evening courses in Accountancy after normal working hours, with 60 students sponsored by various companies.
However, the FAU initiative is a network and continental confederation founded in January 25, 2022, dedicated to promoting education understanding and awareness of the African environmental education services and its intercultural mediation through the honest and accurate cooperation and integration of local, regional, continental and international knowledge and development issues. It acted as the head of national, regional scholars’ forums or university organizations of 54 countries in the African environment
