This is the first volume in a planned series of essays on Education, Learning, and Applied Philosophy. The collection explores how education shapes moral character, critical thinking, and social responsibility. Drawing on African philosophy, virtue ethics, and critical pedagogy, the author examines the role of Ubuntu, community, and indigenous knowledge in contemporary education. The essays address key challenges in Kenyan higher education, including teacher welfare, digital learning, and Competency-Based Education (CBE), while reflecting on decolonizing knowledge, sustainability, peace education, and education as a human right. The book argues for an educational vision centred on justice, human flourishing, and the demands of the 21st century.
