Education Degree & Diploma Course TSC requirements- Must read for prospective teachers

Best guide to students pursuing education teaching courses

ADVISORY ON EDUCATION DEGREE AND TSC REQUIREMENTS

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has revised the academic qualifications required for individuals intending to pursue a degree in education.

To avoid future disappointments, kindly take note of the following updated requirements and share this information with young people interested in the teaching profession:

1. REQUIREMENTS FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN EDUCATION

Minimum Grades:

B- in both Mathematics and English.

C+ in the teaching subjects of interest.

C+ as the overall mean grade in KCSE.

BRIDGING COURSES:

Bridging courses will not be accepted to meet these requirements.

PREVIOUS REQUIREMENT:

Previously, candidates needed a minimum of C+ as an overall mean grade and C+ in the teaching subjects.

2. REQUIREMENTS FOR A DIPLOMA IN SECONDARY TEACHER EDUCATION (DSTE):

Minimum Grades:

D+ in Mathematics.

C in English.

C+ as the overall mean grade in KCSE.

3. IMPORTANT ADVISORY:

Do not enroll for education courses without meeting the above requirements, as you will not qualify for a TSC registration number upon graduation.

Be cautious, as some universities may still offer education courses to students who do not meet the stipulated qualifications due to negligence.

Such graduates will face challenges obtaining their TSC numbers.

4. FOR GRADUATES WITHOUT TSC NUMBERS:

Graduates who completed their education degree or diploma under the previous requirements but have not yet obtained a TSC number are strongly advised to apply for it immediately.

Delays in processing the TSC number could result in complications with the new changes being implemented.

Let us ensure we guide our loved ones appropriately to meet these standards and secure their future in the teaching profession.

STAY INFORMED AND BE BLESSED.
