All Teachers To Prepare For 2024 Fresh TPD Training After A Notice
All Teachers To Prepare For 2024 Fresh TPD Training After A Notice. This year’s program is expected to take off in full swing following the full support of the Kenyan Kwanza government that Teachers Service Commission (TSC) currently enjoys.
In preparation, the TSC published a call for tenders inviting educational institutions willing to provide teacher training to submit an application to the commission by 14 February 2024.
It seems unclear to teachers whether they will continue to pay for the program or whether the government will shoulder the burden.
TPD is a program to improve teacher development skills, a program that was launched two years ago and has faced protests from teachers with the first module.
Four institutions, among them Kenyatta University, Mt Kenya University, Riara University and the Kenya Education Management Institute, were selected to offer professional training to teachers.
The aforementioned institutions have also promised to increase service providers through a tender announcement issued in 2022.
According to TSC Director General Nancy Macharia, more institutions and colleges will be invited to offer TPD training to teachers.
The above program is expected to run for 5 years and teachers are required to pay Sh6,000 per year.
Individual teachers who attended the TPD session last session during evening and night classes have already received the certificate. This was after completing all five areas of the introductory module.
Part of the introductory module covered the following areas:
- The Teacher Professionalism
- The new CBC, the Pedagogy and Inclusive Practices
- The Assessment methods
- New Comprehensive School Health and Safety
- The Instructional Leadership and Financial Literacy
What seems unclear about TPD is an incident that took place during this year’s promotions.
It was unfortunate that some of the teachers who had completed the TPD training and were issued certificates after completing the induction module appeared to criticize the TSC for not recognizing them in this year’s teacher promotion interviews.
Here is the latest part of the tender notice from tsc to various educational institutions that can apply to be considered for the TPD training offer for teachers in 2024:
