The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has now revealed that out of the eight universities that turned out, only four were accredited to offer the training. Representing the CEO TSC Nancy Macharia, the TSC Director of Quality Assurance and Standards (DQAS) Dr. Reuben Nthamburi said the universities were selected competitively through a procurement process.
The four training centers are Mount Kenya University, Kenyatta University, Riara University and Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI).
Dr. Reuben Nthamburi also said that they sat with the service providers and agreed that teachers are to pay an annual fee of Ksh. 6,000. Besides, they came up with flexible modes of payment where a teacher can pay Ksh. 500 for 12 months or Ksh. 20 daily via mpesa to a given institution.
How to register for TPD modules
The TSC launched the TPD program to professionalize teaching and improve teachers’ skills and knowledge, thus enhancing quality education.
To register for the Teacher Professional Development, one will have to pay Ksh. 1,000 as registration fee, (which is also part of the stated Ksh. 6,000) via TPD Paybill number 971900, followed by account: TPD1- County Code, and the TCS number.
