Ministry of Education Launches Teacher Recruitment for Special Needs Education Course
Starting in 2025, the Ministry of Education has announced the recruitment of current instructors for a two-year, full-time Special Needs Education (SNE) Diploma program at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE).
The initiative is aimed at individuals now working for the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) who want to focus on educating students with impairments.
The ministry issued a statement urging qualified educators to enroll in the in-service course, which offers specializations in deafblind education, autism, intellectual disabilities, and visual, physical, and hearing impairments.
The ministry’s website and the county and sub-county education offices are where interested teachers in the intake have been instructed to get the application materials.
In part, the statement by Education PS Julius Bitok read, “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.”
In addition, the county education offices will be obligated to send the completed application forms to the ministry’s headquarters in Nairobi.
The applicant must physically deliver properly completed application forms to the SCDE by May 9, 2025. By May 16, 2025, at the latest, all applications must be sent by the SCDE office to Jogoo House B, Room 710,618/19.
Applicants must be Kenyan citizens under the age of 50, hold a P1 certificate, and have worked for the TSC for at least five years.
The teachers would not be charged at all during the registration procedure, Bitok stressed.
Every candidate will be expected to submit their application in person, along with genuine and certified copies of their academic and professional records, a national ID card or passport, a current passport photo, and any other supporting documentation.
The PS made it clear that applicants who are visually impaired are not required to write their application forms by hand.
Candidates who are accepted will get text message alerts with instructions on how to get their acceptance letters.
