For the first time this year, trainee teachers will be eligible for Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) student loans.
According to the Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Service, the fund will benefit 35 teacher training colleges (KUCCPS).
KUCCPs is placing students in TTCs for the first time, after the Ministry of Education’s decision to delegate duty to the agency.
Until last year, the Ministry of Education was in responsibility of choosing students for admission to public primary TTCs.
The Director General of the Ministry of Education, Mr. Elyas Abdi, expressed confidence in KUCCPS’ ability to fulfill its objective.
Principals and deans of curriculum were taught on the KUCCPs mandate, how to traverse the KUCCPS portals, course validation, and placement processes at a sensitization session held in Thogoto TTC in January of this year.
They were also taught how to submit programs and capacities to the KUCCPS database, as well as how to process applications and transfer funds between institutions.
Mercy Wahome, the chief executive of KUCCPS, said the placement agency had built a “watertight” computerized admissions mechanism that would ensure that all legible applicants were placed.
Dr. Wahome outlined the steps for the second batch of students who would be admitted to the university to pursue training under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
This year, KUCCPS has 35 teacher training colleges listed on its portal for placement.
