Abstract
The Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) is an institution of the East African Community mandated to coordinate higher education and research across the region. Since its integration into the EAC operational framework through an Act of the East African Legislative Assembly in 2009, IUCEA has championed harmonization of higher education systems and enhancement of quality across Partner States.
The Commonwealth of Learning (COL), an intergovernmental organisation supporting learning for sustainable development, has been working closely with Member States to strengthen capacity in technology-enabled education, innovation, and digital transformation.
The Inter-University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) and the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) have jointly undertaken a strategic initiative aimed at strengthening Artificial Intelligence (AI) readiness among Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) across the East African Community (EAC) region. This initiative responds to the growing need to equip education systems with the knowledge, skills, and ethical foundations required to effectively integrate AI into teaching, learning, research, and institutional management.
