Trainee teachers for the first time, are set to enjoy students loans from Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) this year.

The Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has listed 35 teacher training colleges that will benefit from the kitty.

This is the first time KUCCPs is placing students to TTCs following the Ministry of Education’s decision to transfer the mandate to the agency.

Until last year, the Ministry of Education was responsible for recruiting students for admission to the public primary TTCs.

Ministry of Education Director General Elyas Abdi has expressed confidence that KUCCPS would deliver on its task.

In a sensitization workshop in Thogoto TTC, in January this year, principals and their deans of curriculum were educated on the KUCCPs mandate, how to navigate the KUCCPS portals, validation of courses and placement processes.

They were also shown how to upload programmes and capacities on the KUCCPS database, and sensitised on application processing and inter-institutional transfers.

KUCCPS Chief Executive Mercy Wahome said the placement agency had developed a watertight automated system for admission that will ensure all legible applicants are placed.

Dr Wahome spelt out the roadmap for the admissions activity for the second batch of students who will join the institution to undergo training under the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC).

KUCCPS has listed 35 teachers training colleges on their portal for placement this year.
