Rumour mongering and conflicting information is flying all over the place,why can’t you waitfor the tsc to give official circulars?
Stop haphazard reporting
With PHD en teaching in junior sec.. nonsense..kwendeni uko wt ur peanuts!!
Where do you want us to go. Diploma sec option with c plain from from 2008_ 2015.
Can someone answer this please
Alot of confusing information about who teach JSS
How about diploma in edu sec option c plain at kcse
TSC should be talking about pay increase to teachers considering the current high living cost.
And when you are employing Junior Seconds teachers consider combinations such as Business/PE,Maths/PE and others.We’ve taught to private schools for long all because you dont announce such combinations
I support the idea.In fact teachers are the most important people where doctors,nurses,lawyers,police and many other people are where they are because of the teachers.They should be the highest paid in Kenya.Please TSC do something.
What about diploma in ecde?
Do you the grade, degrees, of diplomas ndizo sinafunza darasani?

TSC please don’t misuse teachers who are well equipped to teach at higher levels by putting them in low level classes. It’s not moral. Put them where they belong.
We have these other P1 teachers who have already done Dip ya CBC nao wanapelekwa wapy???
You people don’t even know what your talking about.
Does someone care that there is a teacher who did a diploma or degree and has never got promotion from 2014?
Promote p1 teachers with diplomas And degrees.. Stop all these
Mko na ujinga sana. Huyu mama wa TSC it’s about time you went home ukalee wajukuu.
Some people are cs with. their D and yet you are crucifying this teacher who has worked hard to better himself despite scoring low grades.After all you are the ones who gave me guidelines to be followed . Does it mean that a teacher cannot progress muwache umama
Stop confusing all the education sector …….employ p1 teachers in juniour secondary ….infact you should call it seniour primary ……
No need of fixing a teacher just because of underperforming in kcse. Remember at the time of kcse the teacher was still a baby not very many things mattered.
Since deciding to be a teacher , the teacher might have gone past masters and that is what should matter.
But anyway #TUNAJUANINI.
Promote teachers ,they have stagnated since 2014 ,nothing has happened
Suppose one is a P 1teacher with a C plain went for Diploma in ECE then university to study Bachelor’s degree in primary option where by learnt all the areas needed to teach in grade six now like business; life skills etc can’t they be deployed to Junior secondary?
Comment Text*The government itself does not understand all about cbc.The person who started confusing education sector of kenya is Fred Matiang’i.You are here talking about diploma,masters and post -graduate as the requirements but with low pay.You devils…!!!
W e are so sad ,we thought we getting jobs kumbe ni kama demotion,have you seen some of primary teacher toilets,mayooo
This is non sense of highest level.
A degree teaching a primary level.
This education in Kenya has become nothing.
Leave us alone.
Nao hawa tvet teachers wanawekwa side ngani?
What about Diploma graduates in 2015 with c plain…why au not eligible to get a tsc no to teach in junior high sch?
na hii precareer and pretechnical ,itafunzwa na nani coz it has contents like metal work which are not taught in kenya teacher colleges
A c plain in KCSE did Diploma in primary option in the university went ahead and did Bachelor in Primary option in the university I have a TSC number but I am told I still don’t qualify , what do I do?
Tsc is unfair to kenyans.They are rejecting diploma teachers with c plain who when to universities.This group of teachers are kenyan and they spent alot of money in their education.If they can’t fit in high schools,why not junior nor even primary schools??Sytle up tsc and be considerate.
This is very unfair we have diploma teachers with c plain who did diploma in education secondary option graduated between the years 2012_2015 where do you want them to go they cannot be given tsc number yet spent almost three years training spent around 300k where do you want them to go really?!
