The Council has asked the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for assistance in finding teachers who can fill essential positions during the administration of the first CBC certification tests.
TSC instructed all sub-county directors of education to identify and select examination officials, then screen them before adding them to the Examiner’s Contracted Professionals (CP2) system, according to a circular signed by Dr Nancy Macharia, the Commission’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
TSC Regional and County Directors additionally urged TSC Sub-county directors to ensure that the number of supervisors and invigilators matched the need, especially during the optional papers.
“The Teacher Education Examinations for 2022 are set to begin on July 4, 2022, and conclude on July 27, 2022. The Kenya National Examination Council would like to know the names and contact information for all of the center managers, supervisors, and invigilators who will be involved in the examinations.
“On each day of the tests, the centre managers should guarantee that just the appropriate number of supervisors and invigilators report, with daily online attendance collected.” The Circular stated, “This will guarantee that professors are not idle about test centers with no function to perform.”
The Primary Teacher Education (PTE) tests will begin on July 4th and finish on July 13th, 2022, according to the Circular. The Teacher Certificate in Adult Education (TCAE), on the other hand, will begin on July 4th and expire on July 6th, 2022.
There will be 151 invigilators and 110 supervisors at PTE colleges and test centers, whereas there will be 74 invigilators and 22 supervisors at SNE institutions.
There are 18 Diploma Teacher Education Colleges with a total of 889 applicants who will be supervised by 50 invigilators and 20 supervisors. Around 976 invigilators and 443 supervisors will be assigned to the 443 ECDE colleges and examination centers, while 7 supervisors and 16 invigilators will be assigned to the 7 TCAE institutions.
The Certificate in Primary Teacher Education (PTE), also known as the P1 certificate among teachers, has been rebranded as the Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE), indicating that they have been taught in a curriculum that is customized to the new Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).
Because the tutor will advise teacher trainees on how to embrace the transition from the objective-Based curriculum to the CBC, TTCs are needed to train teachers effectively and provide professional development that will enable teachers to do research.
From the achievement of the intended goals, the CBC is modified based on the application of learner-centered approaches.
For KCSE certificate holders, entry grades were modified from C- (Minus) to C (Plain), with a C (Plain) being required in English and Kiswahili, Mathematics and a Science, as well as any Humanities topic.
Candidates with disabilities who have a KCSE Mean Grade of C- (minus) will be given precedence in the recruiting process.
The new curriculum will force teacher candidates to spend three years in college, rather than the previous two years. Those studying DECTE must additionally complete a three-month teaching practicum.
Pre-service Competency-Based Teacher Education (CBTE), according to the CBC task committee, will allow the education sector to educate teachers in the CBC methodology.
The CBC task force recommended that the Ministry of Education ensure that all tutors in pre-service teacher education training colleges receive induction on how to effectively interpret and implement the teacher education curriculum framework and its designs in order for the curriculum to be implemented effectively.
