National examinations administered by Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) will only total to 30 per cent. The proposals reveal that core competencies of the reformed teacher education will include communication skills, self-efficacy, critical thinking, citizenship, digital literacy and professionalism. The highest quality teacher should be capable of helping students to learn and have a deep mastery of subject areas. Ministry of Education policy documents spell out the outcomes of an ideal teacher education and states that the teacher must be able to develop basic theoretical and practical knowledge on the teaching profession. “Quality education is largely dependent on highly qualified teachers and schools should therefore have sufficient number of qualified teachers,” says the KICD report.
