TSC Under Fire: Legislators Slam TSC, Scraps P1 Course, and Considers Revising Entry Requirements

Education sector in uproar as TSC faces criticism, scraps P1 course, and mulls changing entry requirements for teachers. Stay informed!

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is currently under intense scrutiny from legislators who have labeled it as the weakest link in improving the education sector. Leaders from various regions, including MP Sala Yakub and others, criticized TSC for its perceived shortcomings. In a recent move, TSC decided to scrap the Primary Teachers Certificate Training Course (P1) as part of a ongoing review of education laws.

Accusations have been leveled against TSC for failing to elevate education standards. Politicians like Abdikadir Hussein and Adan Daud pointed fingers at TSC's alleged inability to raise the quality of education. MP Sala Yakub, known for initiatives like the free milk program, also criticized TSC for its performance in the education sector.

In a surprising turn of events, TSC is considering revising the minimum entry requirements for teachers. The proposal includes making a Diploma Certificate the lowest level of study for all teachers, even those in training. This potential change is aimed at elevating the qualifications of educators in the country.

Ending on a note of interest, the decision to scrap the P1 course marks a significant shift in the teacher training landscape. Additionally, the debate around revising entry requirements highlights the crucial role of TSC in shaping the education system and ensuring quality teaching standards.
