Those wishing to pursue Bachelors of Education courses (teaching) at various universities in Kenya will from now henceforth have to score at least a C plain in English and at least a D+ plus in Mathematics.

This latest development in the teaching career was recently included in the minimum requirements for all education courses by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service, KUCCPS.

According to KUCCPS guidelines, a KCSE candidate has to score a minimum of a D+ plus in Mathematics is s/he wants to be admitted to pursue any Bachelor of Education –Arts course.

However, those wishing to pursue Bachelor of Science courses must score at least a C plain in Mathematics and a C+ plus in any of the three sciences offered at secondary school level.

Students wishing to pursue Bachelor of Education courses (whether Arts or Science) must score a C plain and above in English in addition to the required cluster points as dictated by the university in question.

These new requirements are likely to lock out many students who would like to pursue education courses.
