New Minimum KCSE English and Math Grades Required to Enter Teaching
Set a minimum grade in Kiswahili and English before beginning to teach. Those who want to pursue a career in teaching must fulfill a few prerequisite requirements. These minimal requirements are typically updated from time to time.
The minimal English and math grades needed to enter the teaching profession have been determined by the Teachers Service Commission. This is in line with the Amendment Bill of 2024.
According to the newly released regulations for the teaching profession, anyone willing to join the teaching profession must prove their eligibility.
This is by ensuring they have the minimum TSC threshold requirements.
In regards to the above issues, all regulations set by TSC regarding the teaching profession must be adhered to. This is because TSC is the teachers’ employer.
