Why Teacher Education Reform in Kenya is Essential
Kenya’s Taskforce report underscores a critical urgency to reform teacher education systems, spotlighting challenges such as overcrowded classrooms and outdated training programmes that fail to equip educators with both content expertise and pedagogical skills. The report calls for a significant overhaul of initial teacher education and continuous professional development to ensure teachers enter the classroom well-prepared, supported, and aligned with the new competence-based curriculum (worldbank.org). Enhancing institutional capacity, refining mentoring structures, and integrating policy frameworks are pivotal to transforming teacher preparation into a robust foundation for national education reform.
