Inspector general warns Knut officials against disrupting ongoing CBC training

CONTINUOUS TRAINING

While giving a report on plans for the CBC, Ms Macharia further said it will not be “switch-on-switch-off affair”.

She noted that the new curriculum’s effectiveness requires continuous professional development of teachers, considering pressure for access to quality education in knowledge-based societies and economies in the 21st Century.

She reported that in the last two weeks, the TSC facilitated the training of 181 master trainers who in turn trained 1,165 regular and Special Needs Education (SNE) curriculum support officers, and 1,320 CBC champions as trainers of trainers.

“These officials are required to train teachers this week at all the 1,191 zonal training centres countrywide,” she said.

FUNDS

Regarding funds for the training, the TSC boss said the National Treasury allocated the commission Sh500million for the month.

Similar trainings will be conducted in August and December, she said, as the commission explores use of ICT to ensure all teachers continually make use of the curriculum.

“This should be seen as a clear sign that the CBC must succeed at any cost,” Ms Macharia said.

“Clearly, we recognise that teachers are going to be vital agents in the drive to effectively implement the CBC. It is why we emphasise the continuous Teacher Professional Development (TPD). We will do everything we can to ensure teachers are prepared and ready to deliver the CBC,” the CEO also said

She added, “Trainees in our colleges must be prepared on the demands of the new curriculum before they graduate.”
