ADVISORY ON EDUCATION DEGREE AND TSC REQUIREMENTS
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has revised the academic qualifications required for individuals intending to pursue a degree in education.
To avoid future disappointments, kindly take note of the following updated requirements and share this information with young people interested in the teaching profession:
- REQUIREMENTS FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN EDUCATION
Minimum Grades:
B- in both Mathematics and English.
C+ in the teaching subjects of interest.
C+ as the overall mean grade in KCSE.
BRIDGING COURSES:
Bridging courses will not be accepted to meet these requirements.
PREVIOUS REQUIREMENT:
Previously, candidates needed a minimum of C+ as an overall mean grade and C+ in the teaching subjects.
- REQUIREMENTS FOR A DIPLOMA IN SECONDARY TEACHER EDUCATION (DSTE):
Minimum Grades:
D+ in Mathematics.
C in English.
C+ as the overall mean grade in KCSE.
- IMPORTANT ADVISORY:
Do not enroll for education courses without meeting the above requirements, as you will not qualify for a TSC registration number upon graduation.
Be cautious, as some universities may still offer education courses to students who do not meet the stipulated qualifications due to negligence.
Such graduates will face challenges obtaining their TSC numbers.
- FOR GRADUATES WITHOUT TSC NUMBERS:
Graduates who completed their education degree or diploma under the previous requirements but have not yet obtained a TSC number are strongly advised to apply for it immediately.
Delays in processing the TSC number could result in complications with the new changes being implemented.
When will it be effective?
Waaaaa,this is going to affect a lot of people for sure🙄🙄
I hv diploma of late pursuing decree in education. I applied for tsc no but told to do decree because I had , mean grade of c . I graduated in2014 at kabianga university
Hope not soon
Will this affect those joining universities and colleges from next year or will it affect anyone who has not yet applied for the TSC registration?
Because those in campus may have joined while qualifying for the same with the previous qualifications.
In need of clarification please.
We have continuing student who cannot meet the current qualification how shall that one be sorted.TSC should clirify in details. This changes should be made considering the current first years to fourth years now.
Will this new rule affect continuing student
Why has TSC not given this orders, who are you and where did get this ridiculous information
For sure what happens to those pursuing the course with the previous criteria? They need to be given a fair criteria to say those who graduated leaving those yet graduated is unfair why now?
