And the push to reject the Ministry proposal is now shaping into a trade dispute, with the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) officials weighing in. Kuppet Secretary General Akelo Misori has written to Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed rejecting the proposals. Misori explained why a grade D student may not be able to conceptualise aspects of teaching curriculum to effectively convey course concepts to young minds. Knut Secretary General Wilson Sossion said the union stands for quality teaching across all schools. “What we have all been championing is stakeholders engagement. This irons out issues rather than chest thumping on this and that,” said Sossion.

The Government decision to lower P1 Certificate entry is a well thought out idea that a commoner can oppose but an Educationist like myself will surpot it, by % of %.
Those who oppose should tell us, if Universities admit Diploma With C- who will go for P1 with C+ or C- ?. We need teachers at P1 level at all times and this are the backborn of elementary education in the world. May Diploma and Graduate are on toes looking for greener pastures.
Years when education output was very good the Teachers were Standard 8, but the brains they produced were so perwerful than the current graduates who can not place prepositions in a sentense construction today.
