TSC Training 18,000 Teachers on COVID-19 protocols
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) yesterday began training of teachers on COVID-19 protocols. The training is intended to enable teachers of lower classes with skills particularly on how to handle learners amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The training will last for a period of 10 days and will involve teachers from both public and private schools.
“Due to the ongoing situation, the country is fighting COVID-19. We need to re-engineer the teachers training modalities observing all the Ministry of Health Guidelines,” said the TSC director of Quality Standards Dr. Reuben Nthamburi.
TSC has instructed County Regional Directors to ensure that at least teachers in Grades1, 2, and 4 and all headteachers of primary schools to be included in the training.
The Commission is intending to equip teachers with new skills in teaching with the arrangement of desks set to change.
Instead of the learners facing each other while sitting in class, they shall face the same direction in some of the subjects.
Mathematics classes will not be as interactive as before. TSC instructs that all the CBC training should involve Grade 4 teachers from private schools gotten from all zones.
Teachers from Grade 1 and 2 should be invited to the training from 21st to 22nd of December 2020. All learners are to report to schools, as expected, on January 4, 2021, following the loss of the 2020 academic year due to COVD-19. The government closed schools in March 2020, to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
