How much does it cost to upgrade to diploma
We have families to take care of . This comes just after us unemployed teachers had really suffered during the corona .we still have not yet even settled. An now we are required to upgrade surely where will we get money to take care of our families and pay for the fees … I humbly request this to take place during holidays as it’s planned for the in service teachers
Remember,we went to college to get a job, but the issue of going back to college is real achallenge,where do we get school fees from at this moment of corona and yet we have families to take care of,
Please revise this policy and push this forward to begin at the same time with employed teachers. It will allow us to prepare, remember this has caught us unaware.

This is a different diploma its training is purely on the new curriculum
What is wrong with the kenyan government? It trains its own pple and rejects them again!!!!
Please after this never change the sistem. We suffer so much
The fate if dismissed teachers, can they also upgrade?
P1 course was just by God mercy! What am i going to do again? Surely surely….. My future is shaddowed by CBC! I Wish it will be revised to suit the poor.
Will we still do an Knec examination for that upgrade
Good plan by TSC but give us help loan so that we can pay back when we get employed
This kenya is a scam..nonsense,nkt!
The government to fully sponsor teachers for the upgrading programme
Upgrading will take how many months and how much should be paid by training
Possibly six to nine months
Please inform p1 the fee payment so that people should know their fate

We the 2020 we don’t have the tsc number
How will you help us?
And when are people joining?
We don’t have our tsc numbers that is 2020 how will you help us
The Kenyan government through the ministry of education should empoly the p1 trs first before telling them to upgrade. Some p1 trs have stayed at home for more than 10 years since graduation. A good number of them are parents who strains to pay school fees for their children as well as feeding them , and now here is a case where they are told to upgrade fry their pockets. Very impossible indeed, very inhuman indeed. And I understand a good number of P1 trs hails from low class Kenyan families , as they managed to train through fund drive in the village and they are not yet stable coz they are unemployed. Plz consider this and be fair to low class Kenyans…… otherwise tunavumilia kuwa wakenya instead ya kujivunia kuwa wakenya
The fee structure is too expensive for un employed teacher reduce a bit.
Atlist make it next year tuzipange n school fee or government to refund for the fee
Tsc better kill us than subject us to this upgrading becox the ministry want to produce more fools than ever the worst government ever better alshaabab
The P1 teacher intended to upgrade is the son and daughter of mama mboga, Taking him or her to P1course was through communal work yes the resources of the community were pulled together and to them it was a light shining to them but now I can see darkness has visited them again.G.O.K through the ministry of education should pay fees to these teachers in form of loans and recover it once employed.The children of Wanjiko,Mbodze na Matsezi are loudly shedding tears their last drop of blood is draining! please our leaders have mercy on them
There on application requirements I don’t comply that the applicant should process a tsc no.
What of some of us whom we just did p1 course and not teaching currently.can you revise the requirements first before objecting …what if the new system of education fails?how will you compensate the recruits ?CBC is still in the trial and error state so think of otherwise … Applicants don’t rush to be enrolled !!
We need another government to hear or listen to us this is depression.
What if someone has p1 certificate and an ecde diploma, will he/she required to go and parsue primary diploma again??
