TSC warns principals of 32 TTCs over poor performance and enrollment

TSC warns principals of 32 TTCs over poor performance and enrollment

“It is worrying. You wonder why they are not attracting students. These enrolments have drastically gone done. But we have asked the principals to give TSC a concept paper within 30 days on why these enrolments are declining and why we have very poor performance,” said Dr Nancy Macharia.

Speaking during the ongoing Kenya Teachers Colleges Principals Association (KTCPA) conference in Mombasa, Dr Macharia asked whether enrolment has declined due to the poor performance.

“But when you look at the private colleges, they are doing very well. We would want to know what’s going wrong in these colleges so that TSC can support our principals and tutors,” she added.

KTCPA chairman Barasa Wafula said the low enrolment is affecting all TTCs.

“We are all set to face all the challenges facing our institutions. TTC’s are key in producing teachers who should be able to deliver on the competency-based curriculum (CBC). All the necessary interventions will be made to ensure that all the loopholes are sealed to enable us to deliver,” he said.

He said the association will come up with a paper on the issues affecting the colleges, including low enrolment and grades, within 30 days.

Dr Macharia asked the association to come up with resolutions at the end of the conference.
