The recent requirement by the ministry of education for the 2021 teachers training application has drawn criticism from education stakeholders.
Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) Secretary-General Wilson Sossion said the requirement for a minimum of C plain in all KCSE subjects required to be trained as a primary school teacher will lock out thousands of form four leavers in the country. There is no need to set a minimum grade for cluster subjects as these leaves out many students who scored an overall minimum grade of C plain in their KCSE, Sossion said.
