TSC News Today (Kenya)

In a nutshell; TSC has not only trashed claims of scrapping mandatory Maths grade requirement for all teachers looking forward to be absorbed on either Internship or Permanent and Pensionable terms but also distanced itself from the proposal after vehemently rejecting it.

The Teachers Service Commission has rejected a proposal by universities to do away with  Mathematics as a compulsory subject  for students seeking to join degree and diploma  teaching programmes. 

TSC wants Mathematics to remain a compulsory subject and that the proposal by vice-chancellors, registrars  and deans under the auspices of the Kenya  Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (Kuccps) should be annulled. 

TSC Quality Assurance and Standards  Director Dr Reuben Nthamburi yesterday  said Mathematics literacy is critical in the implementation of competence based curriculum and that teachers must be trained on how to best handle it.

His remarks came barely a week after a similar Kuccps meeting with universities on  placement criteria for degree programmes,  which proposed introducing alternative  subjects for Bachelor of Education and removal of Mathematics as part of minimum  subject requirements. 

“We, as TSC, would want to clearly state  that the issues of entry requirements of the  Bachelor of Education are still under discussion. We have met the executive committee of vice-chancellors and agreed to  have another meeting,” said Nthamburi.
