"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. To prepare for Senior School, the Government has begun re-tooling a total of 131,246 Senior School teachers to transition their students to Senior School. In order to mitigate the challenges of handling the new learning areas and technical subjects, the Ministry and the Teacher Service Commission (TSC) will work together to ensure the following: 1. The Kenya School of TVET will enroll and prepare the diploma technical teachers who have a mean grade of C+ and who have done two technical subjects to undergo a pedagogical course and other education courses that are required to qualify to teach at Senior School. 2. Universities will enroll students in two technical subjects and pedagogical content knowledge with a strong basis in education. The diploma technical teachers with a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) mean grade C+ and two teaching subjects in which they have scored a mean grade of C+ and trained adequately in pedagogical knowledge will be absorbed by the Commission to enable them to teach effectively at Senior School. For part two of that Question, by the Financial Year 2024/2025, the TSC had recruited and posted a total of 1,318 teachers to Junior School, both permanent and pensionable, as well as interns to various sub-counties in Kwale County. The allocation per sub-county is as follows: Kinango, 244; Matuga, 212; Lunga-Lunga, 301; Msambweni, 190; Samburu, 279 and Shimba Hills, 92. The total is 1,318. Hon. Speaker, creative arts and sports are one of the learning areas in Junior School in Grades 7 to 9. In creative arts and sports, students explore various creative expressions and physical activities, including composing rhythm and melody, athletics, handball, football, storytelling and Kenyan folk songs. The TSC is providing qualified teachers for creative arts and sports for Junior School by recruiting and deploying the available music, fine arts, and physical education teachers. The Ministry, through the Diploma Secondary Education Teacher The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not know whether the Cabinet Secretary read my Question and whether he is answering Question 038 of 2025. Part (i) of my Question sought to know the number of qualified teachers who have been trained to teach students in select pathways. His answer does not give the number. The gist of this Question was the number of teachers who have been trained in the different pathways. He has gone on to elaborate and given us theories that are not related to the Question. If he cannot get the numbers now, is it possible for this Question to be deferred so that he can come with a correct answer to it? Part (ii) sought to know how many qualified teachers are in Changamwe. He has given a number of 212, which I do not dispute. However, I expected him to say that out of the 212, this number are for arts, this number are for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and this number is for performing arts and sports. The gist of the Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) was to get to those three pathways. There is no answer to this Question. He goes on to state that Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) will enroll. We know that by next year, those Senior Secondary School students will be in Grade 9 and 10 but, up to this juncture, he is talking and saying that TVET will enroll the students and that the diploma teachers with C+ will be absorbed. I think this Question will only be answered if the Cabinet Secretary comes up with the numbers."
