Its now officially  declared  by the Teacher Service Commission that each of the 340,000 tutors must undertake mandatory professional courses that will inform their promotion and professional growth majorly in their teaching career.

As  stated earlier on by the teachers CEO Dr. Macharia its now mandatory tutors  to renew their practising certificate after  every five(5) years. it  will only seal through if they regularly take the  refresher courses. From the document presented to TSC , each module will be taken every five years. With the modules in place each teacher will part  with KSh:6,000 every year for the refresher courses dubbed Teacher Professional Development (TPD).

The fee will be paid by teachers even as unions said the matter should be revisited and cost shouldered by the employer. “This cost needs to be relooked at and even made cheaper,” said Akello Misori, the KUPPET secretary general.
