TSC to Start Retraining 30,000 Newly Recruited Teachers
Teachers Service Commission said that the 30,000 teachers who have been recruited to support transition to junior secondary schools will be retrained.
Commission chief executive Nancy Macharia said that they are determined to retool all teachers who have been be hired during the ongoing recruitment exercise.
The teachers will be retooled within their subcounty levels through a cascade model. The retooling process has been scheduled for this month, once all the grade seven learners settle in schools, and the commission gets done with the deployment of the newly recruited teachers.
She said the government is set to train 30,550 teachers in addition to the 60,000 teachers who were trained last year.
‘‘All the teachers who will be recruited in the ongoing exercise will be put on a retooling regime that will ensure they adequately attend to our junior secondary school learners,’’ Macharia said and added that the 2,376 master trainers have been prepared.
