Thursday, February 24, 2022 –Government of Kenya is planning to recruit a total of 3000 trainers for Technical and Vocational Education Training TVET colleges.

This, according to current situation, is meant to curb the shortage of trainers in middle level colleges around the country after a spike in the number of learners joining the institutions.

In recent times, the shortage of tutors has resulted into poor service delivery in all training institutions in the country as well as increased complaints in salary scales as a result of few overworked staff.

According to the Ministry of Education, the government sees TVET training as matching well with the recently launched competency-based curriculum (CBC) academic system.

While dissecting the recruitment during an education function held in Kisumu City, the Principal Secretary, State Department for Vocational and Technical Training Dr Margaret Mwakima said PSC will get 1,000 diploma holders and 2,000 degree and master’s holders into the system.

“With these trainers will be able to fill the gaps we are facing in the TVETs,” said Dr Mwakima.

The newly launched system now replacing the famous 844 is meant to help improve hands on/ practical lessons which pundits have approved as the best if well implemented.

This CBC, however, is also facing its fair share on resistance from stakeholders who claim it was hurriedly introduced before proper trainings were done.
