RATIONALE FOR TPD IN KENYA

  • Basic Education Act: Free and compulsory basic education to all learners
  • Global trend : It is the best practice for professional growth
  • SDG 4 : Access to quality education through quality teaching
  • 21st century demand: these learners in the 21st century are confronted with increasingly complex social cultural, economic, technological, and global challenges; teachers therefore must prepare learners who possess sophisticated, diversified, and complementary competencies that will enable them to navigate through these challenges.
