West Kenya College deputy principal Winfred Inumba has said he country faces teachers’ shortage in future.
The education expert argues that the government should revise its admission policy to Teachers Training Colleges.
She spoke during an interview with the Star at her office in Bungoma on Tuesday.
Inumba said the government directive requires those seeking to join the teachers colleges to attain a mean grade of C plain.
She however, said most of the students do not attain required grades to join the middle level colleges.
The tutor further said West Kenya College was certified in September 2022 to start admission of new students.
She said the college is currently training those upgrading in Early Childhood Development Education, primary education and the new competency based curriculum.
“The college has qualified tutors to take trainers through the CBC curriculum,” Inumba said.
“Currently teachers need CBC skills so that students can be impacted with the required knowledge.”
She urged teachers to take the CBC training to fit the government’s education directives.
“We want to produce learners who fit the job market in this noble profession, therefore those who haven’t taken the CBC training kindly join colleges and get the knowledge,” Inumba said.
