TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has come up with new requirements for all primary school teachers. According to the Commission, the minimum qualification for entry into teaching in Kenya at all levels (including primary schools) be a Diploma in Education.
These new recommendations by TSC are geared towards realigning of the teachers as per the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).
In the latest TSC recommendations, the Diploma in Education courses for CBC students at each level shall be three (3) years after 844 and senior school since they will have had time for specialization in the content areas.
Effectively, primary school teachers will fall into two categories, namely:
ECDE applicants with certificates from other bodies other than KNEC and MOE should have their certificates equated by KNEC.
