Education Ministry Issues Special Teachers Course Recruitment Programme
The Ministry of Education has announced the recruitment of serving teachers for a two-year full-time Special Needs Education (SNE) Diploma course at Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE), which would begin in 2025.
The programme is aimed at current Teachers Service Commission (TSC) personnel who want to specialize in teaching students with impairments.
The ministry issued a statement encouraging eligible instructors to apply for the in-service course, which offers specializations in areas such as visual, physical, and hearing impairments; intellectual disabilities; autism; and deafblind education.
Interested teachers in the intake should download application forms from the ministry’s website or visit their county and sub-county education offices.
“All serving TSC teachers wishing to be considered for admission to KISE for the two-year full-time SNE Diploma in-service course are informed that application forms are now available and can either be downloaded from the Ministry of Education website or from the nearest CDEs/SCDEs’ offices,” the statement by Education PS Julius Bitok read in part.
Furthermore, after completing the application forms, county education offices must submit them to the ministry’s headquarters in Nairobi.
“Duly completed application forms must be submitted personally by the applicant to the SCDE by May 9, 2025. All applications shall be remitted by the office of the SCDE to Jogoo House B, Room 710,618/19, latest May 16, 2025.”
