The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has listed training centres in each sub county where training of primary school teachers will be done.
The Commission is posed to start mass training of primary school teachers this month in a programme meant to equip them with key competencies to enable them teach junior school classes.
The programme sponsored by World Bank is a reprieve for the teachers who are yearning to teach in junior schools.

The training centres have been brought close to teachers to cut down on travel and other expenses.
Teachers will be able to attend training sessions which will now be close to their homes.
TSC has contracted universities to offer the upgrading programme in local institutions which include high schools and Teacher Training Colleges (TTCs).
This is due to the huge number of primary school teachers listed for the training.
TSC is targeting teachers who scored KCSE mean grade C+ and above and at least C+ in two teaching subjects.
Successful teachers will then be deployed to handle Grades 7, 8 and 9 classes after completing the course.

Please a request to TSC….don’t place non locals to upgrade in N Eastern centers …
Hello am requesting you for the names/tsc Nos of the selected teachers for the p1 upgrade
Kindly
Thanks
Where is the list
What abt p1 with c plain but performed very well in some technical subjects..
Why is makueni county having few teachers to be upgraded and I think there are several teachers with C+ and above.
Why is there not a training center in Taita Taveta yet other areas are far from the county
Please consider Mount Kenya university to be one of the centers of training….in Eastern region.
WHY DID THE COLLECT DATA FROM TEACHERS WITH C PLAIN?
They collected data from teachers with C plain. we are also interested, we have good grades in some needy subjects like agriculture, music, homescience etc. what is our destiny? why did they collect unnecessery data?
Anticipatively waiting for the offer .A good criterion and consideration.
Even teachers with C plain should undergo this programme because it’s s world Bank sponsorship
What about C plains,we are also yarning for consideration
When is the programme starting?
As with c plain we’ve been teaching JS so far January we will.leeave coz we seem not qualified for it
Where is the list of those teachers
teachers with c should also be given this chance.
A good move, we however request Busia be given centre like Alupe university.
Will primary teachers with a degree in primary option be considered?. Kindly confirm
Glory to God, alist should be produced early for the chosen one to be prepared.
Please consider teachers teaching in North Eastern to upgrade in their home counties.
why drop trs with diploma and degrees that did not get them to the next job group? hope they should also be upgraded.
Where are the names of the successful applicants????
Why was Tsc requesting for our education details when they knew that it was purely for only degree bonafide teachers alone? Be straight to the target. Our strength to progress was aroused due to lack of financial breakthrough. What is the deference between a degree and a diploma or certificate? Experience beats all these papers. We thought that the world had dreamt of our dream for our success, but deemed doomed? Eee maskini watakufa maskini. Ni Sisi wa C plain tunaofundisha hata kuliko wenzetu wenye big names of papers
Are we that are left out of this precious program, allowed to join them for diploma upgrading but we play for ourselves?
Why are you leaving C plain and they have been handling junior grade’s.They could have gone for diploma.please consider them.

This sounds better. Some us scored really well but fate landed us into p1 course. Like myself I’m really traumatised being termed as Kaimenyi product coz they wonder what I’m doing in primary school with B??
Little do they know my story. I didn’t even sit the exams during the Kaimenyi era. I grew up as an orphan wth no shoulder to lean onto. I struggled through schools by practically working for people weh!
