The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced plans to train primary and secondary school teachers starting next week.
The training which targets both classroom teachers and school administrators will help address challenges faced by learners under the Competency Based Education (CBE).
Already Heads of Institutions (HOIs) have been put to notice by their Sub County Directors on the training on ‘Career Guidance’ which will be conducted online.
The training will help teachers to guide learners in choosing appropriate career path based on their abilities and learning outcomes.
In Junior schools learners will select pathways before transiting to senior schools.
Senior schools will adapt to these pathways depending on their resources, teachers, and infrastructure.
The three pathways; STEM pathway, Arts and Sports pathway and Social Science pathway will guide the career path for learners.
