“On February 24, the placement service received proposals on the reviewed placement criteria to degree programmes from the TSC,” said Dr. Wahome in the circular dated April 26. She said TSC proposals take cognizance of the introduction of several education courses and recommendations of the CBC Taskforce.
According to TSC chief executive Nancy Macharia, each student pursuing education should have three teaching subjects, (two major subjects and one minor) for cost-effectiveness and proper utilization of the teacher.
“This will assist the commission to handle the new areas that have been introduced in the CBC for junior and senior secondary,” said Ms. Macharia, adding that “the whole course will take five years and a half”.
Ms. Macharia said students will be required to undertake a two full-term practicum of six months after completing the course.
In all the degree programmes, students will also be required to pursue additional professional courses in curriculum development, psychology, and sociology in education, mentorship and coaching programmes, performance management, education action research management, foundations in education, and educational leadership.
