This paper challenges the western concept of graduate employability as a measure of student success through a case study of a collaboration between pharmacy colleagues in universities in Nairobi, Kenya and Nottingham, UK. As Pharmacy programmes globally adapt their courses to a competency-based education (CBE) approach, we outline the implications of this for graduate success in Kenya. The Ministry of Education in Kenya recently announced a move to CBE across all educational sectors. This has led to a reconfiguring of how pharmacy is not only taught, but also assessed, and what success means for pharmacy graduates in Kenya. The collaboration has highlighted the need for key stakeholders to work together and influence policy change, and redefine employability in terms of behaviours that meet country-wide needs. We outline some of the processes and collaborations we formed to redevelop pharmacy programmes in Kenya, and suggest recommendations for continuing partnerships and sustainability.

增加药学学生的就业机会;肯尼亚药学能力教育实施过程的案例研究

本文通过肯尼亚内罗毕大学和英国诺丁汉大学药学同事之间合作的案例研究,挑战了西方将毕业生就业能力作为学生成功衡量标准的概念。随着全球药学计划将其课程调整为基于能力的教育 (CBE) 方法,我们概述了这对肯尼亚毕业生成功的影响。肯尼亚教育部最近宣布所有教育部门都转向 CBE。这导致重新配置药学的教学和评估方式,以及肯尼亚药学毕业生的成功意味着什么。此次合作凸显了关键利益相关者需要共同努力并影响政策变化,并根据满足全国需求的行为重新定义就业能力。
