Ezekiel Machogu, the cabinet secretary for education, launched the application for admission to diploma teacher training courses on Saturday. There are 13,439 available places.
The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS), which has opened its online application portal, will manage the placement of trainees into the 32 public teacher training institutes for the second straight year.
According to the Ministry of Education, applicants will be looking to fill 13,439 openings in the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE) and Diploma in Early Childhood Teacher Education (DECTE) programs.
The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examination must be obtained with a mean grade of C (plain), which is the minimum requirement.
Mr. Machogu said at the Kangaru School in Embu, where he presided over an education and career guidance day, that there are no new subject requirements.
The portal will be open until July 28, 2023, according to Dr. Agnes Mercy Wahome, chief executive officer of the KUCCPS, who spoke at the same meeting.
“This opportunity is for qualified KCSE certificate holders including non-Kenyan citizens who sat the exam in 2022 or earlier until the year 2000,” said Dr. Wahome.
The available places in the DPTE programme is 11,358 while there are 2,081 admission slots in the DECTE course.
