According to taskforce recommendations both P1 and ECDE teachers will have to undergo the mandatory training which starts next month. The trainees will be issued with a Diploma certificate at the end of the training.

The upgrading programme shall take 4 terms for DPTE (Diploma Primary Teacher Education) and 5 terms for DECTE (Diploma Early Childhood Teacher Education). Both will have course work and a full term for practicum .

Graduates for the Upgrading Programmes shall be expected to teach all the subjects offered in the area of training.

The taskforce said blended learning and distance learning for the Diploma upgrade programme will be considered in due course.

The total number of the content and pedagogical hours in the Upgrading Programmes will be 786 hours for DPTE and 1176 hours for DECTE.

“The CBTEC expects a primary school teacher to be grounded in all the subjects offered in primary schools, therefore upgrading PTE teacher trainee will be exempted from the subjects they had specialised in and take only those they did not take in the certificate course,” reads a taskforce report.

This programme currently only affects PTE and ECDE who are not in any form of employment.

“All teachers in service with Teacher Service Commission (TSC), County Governments and Private Schools will be expected to start the blended upgrade program when the school calendar normalizes having been disrupted by COVID 19 Pandemic,” said team made of officials from TSC, MOE and KICD.

7. To be awarded the Diploma, the trainee must complete the required hours for Course Work and the stipulated assessment by the Kenya National Examination Council.

8. Applicants shall be required to produce evidence of adherence to positive morals and good behavior.

For ECDE teachers who want to upgrade to Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education (DECTE) they must meet these key requirements;

1. The applicant must possess a valid ECDE Certificate.

2. The applicant must be registered by the Teachers Service Commission.

    What about those ECDE degree holders whom the TSC has never employed?? Is there a place for them since they are the best suited for teaching the new curriculum?
