TSC Hints another Training for Teachers Days after Parliament’s Postponement on TPD Modules for Teachers

TSC Hints another Training for Teachers Days after Parliament’s Postponement on TPD Modules for Teachers

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will train around 60,000 secondary school teachers in April this year on the new curriculum.


The teachers will be put in a crash programme aimed at equipping them to teach key subjects in the junior secondary school next year.



The teachers who will be targeted in the first phase of the programme will be those handling Science and Physical Education subjects under the first cohort of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) graduates of Grade 6 who will sit their national assessments later this year.

In 2023 Grade 6 learners will transition to Junior secondary schools. Junior secondary comprise of Grades 7, 8 and 9.




The 60,000 teachers to be trained will be those handling Biology/Chemistry, Physics/Mathematics, and Physical Education according to a circular released by TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia.

Biology and Chemistry teachers will be equipped with expertise on how to handle integrated and health science while those teaching Physics and Mathematics will be retooled to teach pre-technical and pre-vocational education.



Physical Education teachers are expected to teach Sports and Physical Education in secondary schools according to the circular.



In April, the retooling will be in form of five day face to face training while subsequent continuous learning on the new subject areas will shift online.

Venues for the programme across the country will be carefully selected to ensure teachers can easily access them.

TSC will receive an extra Sh15 billion for the 2022 – 2023 financial year, and has planned to use the funds to hire new teachers.

In a report, which was presented to the Committee on Education and Research of the National Assembly by the Parliamentary Budget Office, shows TSC has planned to use its increased allocation of Sh15 billion exclusively to employ 13,000 secondary school teachers and 9,000 interns to cope with exits and the expected increase in enrolment when junior secondary is rolled out in January 2023.


Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani had allocated an additional Sh14.9 billion to the TSC, whose budget has risen to Sh296.6 billion from Sh281.7 billion in the new financial year.
