All teachers will begin a one-year obligatory CBC training In April 2024

All instructors who have registered with the instructors Service Commission (TSC) must retake a refresher course in order to stay current with the changes in the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).

There will be a one-year mandatory training program in schools beginning in April 2024. Who would pay for the training, the government or the instructors, is still up for debate.

The Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER) made this recommendation in a draft report that was presented to President William Ruto yesterday at the State House.

Ruto has already put the recommendations of the Education Reforms Taskforce into immediate effect.

The taskforce emphasized the importance of retraining teachers on the curricular changes. The training should take a year.

One section of the recommendation stated, “The Ministry of Education to develop guidelines on how all teachers who graduated prior to 2023 undergo a mandatory one-year retooling and upgrading programme for compliance with the curriculum change.”

The force’s leader, Professor Raphael Munavu, gave the university the order to develop broad Faculty Staff programmes as a prelude to competency-based teacher preparation in order to complete the retooling process.

In an additional effort to boost both the amount and quality of teachers entering the sector, the task force recommended C (plain) as the minimum grade for candidates to pre-service teacher school.

For instance, in order to qualify for the Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education, a person must have obtained a C (Plain) on their Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) test or its SS equivalent.

Additional pre-service courses that require a C (plain) include the Diploma in Secondary Teacher Education, the Diploma in Special Needs Education, and the Diploma in Technical Teacher Education.

To administer all pre-service teacher training institutes (TTCs) as campuses, establish Kenya Teacher Training College (KeTTC). The list of recommendations was expanded to include the development of a structure to guarantee the best use and distribution of resources.

To manage all In-service programs for institutional directors and education executives, the MoE will establish the Kenya School of Teacher and Education Management (KeSTEM) as a corporate organization. Using the tools given by Kenya Teacher Training Colleges (KeTTC), KeSTEM will also offer CPD for educators.

However, the admission requirements for the Bachelor of Education degree programs will still be decided by the university senates.

On the other hand, the Teachers Service Commission will offer all education graduates the opportunity to take part in a necessary one-year internship program following the completion of Pre-service training.

Since CBC’s debut under former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration, it has encountered a number of challenges, including a dearth of instructors for the Junior Secondary (JS) sector and an inadequate pay structure. After going without pay since January, JS instructors finally received their salaries in June.

According to press sources from the end of July 2023, less than 60,000 qualified primary school teachers had not yet applied for a post teaching junior secondary.

Of the 30,000 instructors that TSC hired, 8,000 came from elementary schools.
