Every teacher will receive updated training on the new developments.
All teachers will be required to retake a new training in order to align themselves with the changes in the school curriculum if President William Ruto adopts the task force’s recommendations.
In the report that was presented to the president at the State House on Tuesday, August 1, the taskforce stressed the importance of retraining teachers on the curriculum modifications. 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.”
To finish the retooling process, a committee led by Professor Raphael Munavu directed the institution to develop extensive Faculty Staff programmes prior to competency-based teacher training.

For candidates to pre-service teacher school, the task committee also recommended a minimum grade of C (simple) in an effort to boost both the amount and quality of instructors joining the area.
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.
CBC’s challenges
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 employed, 8,000 came from elementary schools.
