A radical change is on the way as P1 Certificate courses are set to be phased out. In the new education curriculum the lowest qualification a teacher will be required to have is a diploma. Primary school teachers with P1 certificates will be required to undergo additional training to be in line with the new system.
Currently there are around 220,000 primary school teachers, most of them are certificate holders who are required to further their training to keep up with the 2-6-6-3 system that is being implemented gradually to replace the current 8-4-4 education system.
