Blow to Unemployed Teachers With P1 Certificates

Blow to Unemployed Teachers With P1 Certificates. According to a plan created by the commission, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has terminated the employment of P1 teachers.

In a report titled “Framework on Entry Requirement in the Teaching Service,” the TSC disclosed its intentions to eliminate the P1 certificate as a prerequisite for entering the teaching profession.

In a report titled “Framework on Entry Requirement in the Teaching Service,” the TSC made clear that it intended to do away with the P1 certificate as a requirement for employment in the teaching service.

The commission has recently adopted a harsher position on matters pertaining to the teaching profession. This is necessary so that the commission can confirm that new teachers have the credentials to oversee the educational field.

It has been superseded by TSC with a certification that follows the CBC, or Competency Based Curriculum. To be hired to teach in Grades 1 through 6, teachers are required by TSC to possess a Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE).

The framework suggests requiring all Kenyan teachers, regardless of rank, to hold an education degree before starting their careers.

A post-training upgrade certificate from a teacher who has successfully completed training programs in ECDE, PTE, DTE BED, DIP ED, and SNE, according to the article, will be accepted by TSC.

You must have a PTE from KNEC in addition to a minimum Mean Grade C (simple) or its equivalent in the KCSE, according to the Commission. After then, teachers can focus on teaching kids in grades 1-3 and 4-6 both their native language and a foreign language.
