TSC to Train 56000 Teachers on CBC.
The Teachers Service Commission is ready to retrain a total of 56000 teachers to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to implement the Competency-Based Curriculum effectively.
The training program began on October 6th, and will end on October 13th this year.
From an educational perspective, the training will primarily involve retooling. This term commonly describes the process of increasing and enhancing professional knowledge to improve student learning outcomes.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) CEO Nancy Macharia is grateful to teachers who constantly partake in the exercise to facilitate the realization of Competency-Based Curriculum compliance and attendance to contemporary school programs.
Speaking during the World Teachers Day held at the Kenya School of Government, Macharia acknowledged pre- and primary teachers for embracing the Competency-Based Curriculum and providing learners with support in acquiring the necessary competencies and values.
Macharia also appreciates teachers for working tirelessly to restore the school calendar disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, she acknowledges their contribution to supporting learners in the transition from grade 6 to grade 7.

In addition, the commission holds that it is in the process of vetting teachers who will assume the roles and responsibilities of supervisors and invigilators during the upcoming national examinations.
According to available records, 223,223 teachers have undergone the vetting process for supervisor and invigilator roles. Close to 37,731 teachers will also take up the roles of examiners.
Macharia argues that it is critical to celebrate teachers’ work in preparing learners to partake in national examinations.
She asserts that the Teachers Service Commission has a high level of commitment to promoting the welfare of its teachers. A nation’s education quality is highly dependent on the quality of its teachers. A successful education system in a country is a result of the efforts of its teachers.
