In such a move, the Commission has already done away with p1 certificate in favour of diploma.

For this reason, all students who would wish to be teachers either primary or Secondary must do at least a diploma in education.

“We are saying that teachers even at diploma level, must have mathematics because under Competency Based Curriculum, there’s a unit called measuring and evaluation and assessment in methodology,” said Dr. Reuben Nthamburi, TSC quality Assurance and Standard Director.

According to TSC, for one to undertake a diploma in education should a minimum grade of C plus in KCSE and above C plus in the two teaching subjects, at least C plain in English and C plain in Mathematics for science based courses and D plus in Mathematics for non sciences. For degree holders,one must have scored C plus a nice in two teaching subjects and both in Math and English.

He however urged for further consultations with more Stakeholders before a decision is made.

The position by TSC will be big blow to the upcoming teachers who performed  poorly in mathematics but want to be teachers of humanities.
