The standards for registering to teach have been modified by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
The new TSC regulations state that in order to pursue a bachelor’s degree in education at a university, a student must have received at least a B- in both mathematics and English.
Additionally, the student’s total mean grade in the KCSE must be at least C+, and they must have received at least C+ in each of the teaching topics.
In the past, all that was needed for candidates to pursue an education degree was a minimum C+ overall mean grade in the KCSE and a minimum C+ in each of the two teaching topics.
Bridging courses, which were once utilized to cover gaps for students who didn’t fulfill the minimal standards, have also been outlawed by the Commission.
The minimum academic qualifications will no longer be replaced by bridging courses.
A minimum of a D+ in mathematics and a C in English are required of students seeking the secondary diploma in education. Additionally, the overall mean mark in the KCSE must be at least a C+.
The current student teachers who are still enrolled in classes at different colleges and institutions won’t be impacted by these changes, though.
Colleges and universities must comply with these adjustments, which go into force the next year.
For those who want to register and receive a TSC number, TSC will release a new registration policy.
The government is implementing the measures as part of an effort to control the number of instructors that colleges and universities produce, which has led to an unemployment crisis.
Next year, a total of 354,234 jobless teachers would be sent by the government through TSC to work in seventeen nations. TSC claims that this scheme is aimed for teachers who are unemployed.
All registered instructors who hold a certificate, diploma, or degree from an accredited institution are qualified to work overseas, according to TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia.
According to Macharia, our teaching services have been requested by seventeen nations, including the United States, Ireland, Germany, France, Canada, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Russia, Spain, China, Kuwait, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Botswana.
The Commission has previously created rules and a policy framework to help the thousands of teachers without jobs find employment abroad.
The program was created in response to calls from other governments for the export of Kenyan instructors, according to CEO Nancy Macharia.
There is a great need for Kenyan instructors in the United States, Ireland, and Germany, particularly those who can teach English, according to our study and discussions with the State Department of Diaspora Affairs.
For individuals who are able to teach Kiswahili, there is South Africa, followed by Thailand and various Middle Eastern nations. According to Ms. Macharia, “the policy is a targeted response to this market demand.”
When the exercise is formally launched, TSC will send out instructions and an online application link to teachers without jobs.
The commission claims that as of May 2024, it has 714,234 teachers on its registry, of which 360,000 were permanently employed by the TSC.
Other nations that are targeted for teacher exports include Qatar (Islamic religious education and science teachers), Kuwait, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates, all of which need teachers with special education needs. China, France, Botswana, and Japan are in need of Kiswahili teachers, according to Ms. Macharia.
France, Canada, Vietnam, Taiwan, South Korea, Russia, Spain, China, and the United Arab Emirates, she continued, are in need of English-teaching professionals.
Through government-to-government labor export programs, the positions will be made overseas.
Several delegations have approached the commission to request cooperation for the export initiative. As a result, a policy framework had to be created to direct the procedure. As a government agency, TSC will collaborate closely with the Labor and Foreign Affairs Ministries, who will be in charge of investigating the markets for teacher exports, Ms. Macharia stated.
The selection criteria will outline the fundamental abilities, credentials, and work history needed for a particular foreign teaching position.
A teacher must be a citizen of Kenya, have finished their training, earned a degree, diploma, or certificate in education from an accredited institution, and fulfilled further TSC registration criteria in order to be eligible for placement overseas.
The teacher must fulfill the criteria of Chapter Six of the Constitution and be registered with the TSC.
The host nation may also impose extra criteria on the instructor, such as professional certificates, specialized training, language skills, or other job-specific requirements.
According to the policy document, “the commission will coordinate with the relevant ministries and agencies to offer an orientation program for the chosen teachers that will address matters such as security, health care, transportation, terms of engagement, compensation, career counseling and development, cultural sensitivity, transparency and accessibility, language proficiency (if applicable), and particular educational practices common in the host nation.”
