Unreliable campus connectivity
Classrooms, libraries, labs, and outdoor areas all need consistent Wi-Fi. Poor coverage disrupts digital learning tools, video lessons, and examination systems.
Schools, Colleges, Universities
Campus IT That Supports
Learning, Not Disruption.
Schools, colleges, and training providers depend on reliable Wi-Fi, secure device management, and collaborative productivity tools. Sentire builds and manages the ICT infrastructure that lets educators focus on teaching.
CHALLENGES
What Most Education Institutions Face
2
Device proliferation
Staff laptops, student devices, lab computers, and shared tablets all need to be managed, patched, and secured without a dedicated internal IT team.
3
Student data obligations
The Kenya Data Protection Act applies to student personal data. Schools and colleges must handle enrolment data, assessment records, and guardian information with appropriate technical controls.
4
Budget constraints
Education institutions typically operate on tight IT budgets. Commercial licensing and infrastructure costs must be managed carefully, which is why education-specific pricing and phased rollouts matter.

Student Data Protection Obligations
Kenya Data Protection Act (DPA 2019)
Schools and colleges collect and process personal data about students, parents, and guardians. The DPA 2019 requires that this data is held securely, used only for its stated purpose, and not retained beyond what is necessary. Sentire implements the technical controls that support your DPA compliance.
Exam Data and Integrity
National examination data and assessment records require additional controls to prevent unauthorised access or tampering. We implement access controls, audit logging, and encrypted storage for examination management systems.
Note: Sentire provides technical implementation. Engage a qualified data protection officer for formal DPA compliance assessment.
