The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has stepped up its bid of transforming the education sector.
The commission has announced the use of online Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development Tool (TPAD) in Teacher training colleges.
TSC has said that the application of the tools will begin next year.
This implies that the tool will be applied in colleges, secondary and primary.
The commission revealed that it will apply the revised TPAD.
Speaking during the Kenya Teachers Colleges Principals Association (KCTPA) conference at Travellers Beach Hotel in Mombasa, TSC chief executive officer Nancy Macharia said that the changes will take place with immediate effect.
“The commission’s TPAD Technical Team at the headquarters and TSC county directors will, in liaison with specific colleges, arrange for facilitation and support,” Macharia said, as quoted by Daily Nation
She also said that the move will involve updating skills, approaches and attitudes in adoption of new techniques for teaching purposes.
The TSC boss asked teachers to embrace the new changes for the sake of the development of the education sector in the coming years.
Teachers are now expected to sign a performance contract to ensure better service delivery.
There have been mixed reactions following the various changes in the education sector.
