Are you intending to become a teacher in Kenya? Well. Before you intend to undertake any education related training (like teaching) it is necessary that you know the current requirements by the Teachers Service Commission, TSC.
It will be needless for you to undertake a teacher training course only for you to be rejected by TSC upon graduation. The TSC requirements for teachers keep on being revised from time to time. Be sure to see any future changes in this site.

Wow! Thank you! I continuously wanted to write on my blog something like that. Can I take a part of your post to my website?
I have seen loads of useful issues on your website about computers. However, I have the view that notebooks are still more or less not powerful sufficiently to be a good selection if you normally do projects that require loads of power, just like video editing. But for internet surfing, statement processing, and many other popular computer functions they are okay, provided you can’t mind your little friend screen size. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
I am really loving the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A number of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any tips to help fix this issue?
