Enabling the future through research 1
CAPA is an African wide<br />
association that brings together<br />
technical and vocational<br />
institutions of the<br />
commonwealth countries<br />
in Africa. MUBS is been a<br />
member of CAPA and is<br />
an active participant in the<br />
CAPA activities. CAPA is<br />
intended to bring together<br />
polytechnic to benchmark,<br />
learn from one another and<br />
discuss common problems<br />
to find common approaches<br />
to common problems. The<br />
conferences are held thrice<br />
a year in different member<br />
countries. The conference<br />
enables the teachers in the<br />
polytechnic to research and<br />
share research findings<br />
with colleagues.<br />
A unique feature of the<br />
CAPA is that even administrative<br />
staff write papers<br />
or their stories about their<br />
practical experience and<br />
share them at the conference.<br />
