TIMELINES FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW CHANGES
- It is proposed that the above be used as a basis for admission into Teacher Education the various levels from September 2020.
- In addition to the requirements above, the following shall be required before a teacher is registered by the Commission: –
- Certificate of Good Conduct; applicants shall be required to present a valid certificate of good conduct upon application for registration.
- Certificate in Integration of ICT in education – Evidence of training in ICT skills
- Compliance to chapter six of the Constitution:Tax Compliance Certificate (KRA), Certificate of good conduct (DCI), Higher Education Loan clearance certificate (HELB), EACC clearance and Credit Reference Certificate (CRB)
- Notes:
- ECDE applicants with certificates from other bodies other than KNEC and MOE should have their certificates equated by KNEC.
- Applicants with foreign Degrees and Diplomas in education should have their documents equated by the Commission for University Education (CUE) and Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) respectively.
NON-CITIZEN REGISTRATION
- Non- citizen teacher should have the following for registration;
- Certificate of registration as a teacher from the country of origin
- Certificate of good conduct issued by relevant law enforcement agency in the country of origin.
- Vetting letter from MOE.

Key issues to note
- Enhancement is admissible only in case of inadequate course units in one of the subjects of specialization. (This is not encouraged)
- Post-graduate Diploma is allowed where one lacks only pedagogical skills.
- Bridging/ pre-university courses be done away with as they do not address any gap.
- Persons whose training is in subjects that are not in the curriculum irrespective of a PGDE do not qualify for registration and employment.
- Students who have undertaken courses(Diploma or degrees) without the minimum entry requirements (who enrolled, who trained and graduated them) do not qualify for registration and employment.
- Very many fake degree certificates circulating
- Security marks of the certificates
- Applicants for registration whose training is in subjects that are currently NOT in the curriculum do not qualify irrespective of having undertaken a Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) and/ or Enhancement.
- This category includes but not limited to Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Arts in:
- Natural resources
- Meteorology
