The TSC banned 26 Bachelor of Science and Arts Degree Teaching Courses.
Teachers who finished these courses and were prepared for TSC registration must immediately find other work.
Applicants for registration who have completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) and/or Enhancement in disciplines not on the curriculum are ineligible. New instructors must register.
These courses do not qualify PGDE graduates for teacher registration. Two instructional subjects lack content mastery because these courses don’t cover enough.
Instructions are detailed.The commission highlights that a Bachelor’s in Science or the Arts, two teaching specialisations, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) are sufficient for registration.
The TSC claims these curricula lack material, resulting in poor subject competence in the two teaching areas.
TSC will only register Bachelor of Arts or Science programmes with PGDEs in two teaching specialisations.
The TSC directive has disappointed and infuriated many fresh graduates who wanted to register with and work for the Teachers Service Commission.
