Kagumo TTC: Kagumo Teachers Training College is a college in Nyeri County, Kenya. Kagumo Teachers Training College is situated nearby to the place of worship Kingdom Hall of Jehovas Witnesses, as well as near the village Marua.
KAGUMO TEACHER TRAINING COLLEGE HISTORY
The present Kagumo TTC – which started as a primary school- has a long history as an institution of learning; a history that stretches back towards the early years of the 20th century. The land parcels on which the college stands were acquired for institutional purposes through the intervention and mediation of the African council in the late 1920s. However, the actual construction of the first buildings – offices for the principal – began in 1930.
One, Mr. Carr, was the first contractor for the institution. This institution opened doors with a humble enrolment of eight (8) students and a small staff of six (6) for the primary teachers’ training college in 1944. Later, it expanded to cater for an increased demand for teachers in the country. This significant expansion was strengthened further when Kagumo became an academic complex through the introduction of a secondary school wing in 1949.
The primary, secondary and college academic programmes harmoniously co-existed until 1960 when it became necessary to restructure the physical co-existence. Consequently, the primary school wing was renamed as ‘Kiambuiri primary school’ and was relocated to an adjacent parcel of land where it stands to-date. At the same time, the secondary school section was shifted to a new location in the Kiganjo area of Nyeri. However, its name remained as ‘Kagumo High School’. The original institutional facilities were left for the expansion of Kagumo TTC. The growth went on successfully and by 1982 the college had produced 6,661 qualified primary school teachers.

President William Ruto has accepted a request by teachers that the period it takes to review their salaries be reduced from the current four years.
The teachers want the four-year cycle of reviewing the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the Teachers Service Commission and their unions be reduced to two years.
Whereas the President agreed that the period should be reduced, he tasked The Teachers Service Commission (TSC), the Ministry of Education and teacher unions to deliberate on the matter and propose the appropriate CBA period.
Speaking at State House Nairobi when he hosted 10,000 teachers from all parts of the country on Saturday, President Ruto commended the teachers for embracing dialogue over salaries and other terms of employment.
He said there was no need for teachers to go to the streets over matters that can be solved amicably.
The current CBA covers the period 2025-2029, and was signed in July 2025. The agreement introduces a basic salary increase for teachers spread over the four-year period. The first phase was implemented last July.
At the same time, President Ruto said the government will provide a better medical cover for teachers that is in tandem with what civil servants get.
“We are going to review the medical cover for teachers because the current one does not meet the medical needs of the teaching fraternity,” President Ruto said.
At the meeting, teachers and the Affordable Housing Board signed an MoU to reserve 20 per cent of the housing units for teachers.
“We are signing a Memorandum of Understanding for teachers to get 20 per cent of affordable houses reserved for them,” the President said.
The President pointed out that through the Housing Levy, teachers contribute KSh900 million or 13 per cent of the total housing fund every month, saying they deserved decent homes like the rest of Kenyans.
The President reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the education sector to produce a well-trained and knowledgeable workforce to drive the country’s transformation.
In the past three years, he said, the government has increased the education budget from KSh540 billion in 2022 to KSh702 billion in the 2025-2026 financial year, the largest increase in the country’s history.
He also explained that the government has addressed concerns over the Competency-Based Education and Training system, injecting clarity, a smooth transition and the hiring of 76,000 teachers.
“We will recruit 24,000 teachers in January to make the number hired in the past three years 100,000. This has reduced shortages and boosted the teacher-student ratio,” he said.
The President said the government has built 23,000 classrooms, established the Open University of Kenya, and introduced a new funding higher education model that supports learners while increasing resources for universities and technical training colleges.
President Ruto commended the teachers for their service and commitment, saying that they often sacrifice personal comfort for the sake of their students.
He described teachers as unsung heroes whose dedication shapes the foundation of society.
“Teachers are the greatest patriots and heroes of the Republic of Kenya. They mind the children of others and spend sleepless nights thinking about them,” he said.
Saying that the nation owes much of its progress to the teaching fraternity, President Ruto asked them to support the government’s transformation agenda.
He regretted that Kenya lagged behind countries that were its peers in the 1960s, including South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia.
“We were at the same level of development in 1963, but they are now in the First World, while we are still in the Third World,” he explained.
Pointing out that transformation rises or falls on the quality of leadership, the President said the government will continue making the right decisions that would change Kenya in a generation.
“The countries we were at par in the 1960s made the necessary decisions and today they are in the First World. We are still in the Third World,” he said.
On teachers’ career progression, he said the government will increase funds for promotion from KSh1 billion to KSh2 billion to double the promotions from 25,000 to 50,000 a year.
In the past three years, the President disclosed that 151,000 teachers have been promoted yet a huge backlog remains.
On the Kenya National Union of Teachers request that 45-year-old trained teachers who have not been recruited by the TSC be absorbed. the President directed that the employer adopt the policy of first out of college, first in on employment.
“Beginning this year, we are going to employ teachers based on First In First Out policy,” he said.
He told the Ministry of Education officials to compile the list of teachers who are 45 years old and unemployed to explore the possibility of hiring them.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki said teachers are the silent soldiers of every nation, explaining that they “spend sleepless nights for the sake of children of others”.
“The patriotism of teachers is not written on flags, but in the small victories of a child who learns to read, a young mind awakened to possibility, a dream kept alive in a humble classroom,” Prof Kindiki pointed out.

The history of Koitaleel Samoei University College dates back to 2012/2014 when the idea to have a University situated in Nandi County named after the legendary leader Koitaleel Samoei was mooted.
A steering committee was constituted and a series of consultative meetings and workshops were held between the County Government of Nandi, the University of Nairobi, and the community to support the establishment of the University College in the County in line with the constitutional provisions.
The leaders from Nandi County requested His Excellency the fourth President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta to formally gazette the University College. On 12th June 2017, he graciously presided over with the then Deputy President Dr. William Samoei Ruto in the laying of the foundation stone at the proposed Main Campus at Nandi Hills.
The request was formalized by Legal Notice No. 117 of September 6, 2018, which established KSUC as a Constituent College of the University of Nairobi, and on 19th October 2018, the first University College Council was gazetted.
Named after the eponymous hero; Koitaleel Samoei
KSUC is named after the eponymous Nandi hero, Koitaleel Samoei who led an 11-year resistance against the railway construction by the British Colonialists. To end the resistance, a British Colonel, Richard Meinetzhagen, invited Koitaleel Samoei to negotiate a truce meeting after he led a rebellion against the colonial invasion of the Nandi.
However, it is reported that when Koitaleel Samoei stretched his hand with Meinertzhagen, he shot him dead at point-blank and his death ended the Nandi Resistance. Koitaleel has been immortalized as a national hero and a legendary leader in the Kalenjin Community and the society at large.
Location
The University College has established two Campuses in Nandi County; namely, Nandi Hills which is located 15 km from Kapsabet, and the Mosoriot Campus which is located along the busy Eldoret – Kapsabet highway approximately 27 km from Eldoret town and 23 km from Kapsabet town.
The highway is well-tarmacked for easy accessibility to the institution. The University College sits on a 50-acre piece of prime arable land that was formally occupied by Mosoriot Teachers Training College. The setting of the
University College in the area provides a serene environment making it conducive for scholarly and academic work geared towards strengthening intellectual exchange towards achieving its core mandate of teaching and learning.
The University College collaborates with the community that has a wealth of
renowned athletes in promoting its niche in Sports Science Management such as the legendary athlete Eliud Kipchoge among others.
The University College envisages being “The premier University of Sports Management Science” as it strives “To produce quality graduates through quality education, training, research and consultancy for social and economic development”.
KSUC neighbors Mosoriot Teachers Training College, the Kenya Medical Training College, and Mosoriot Market with whom KSUC collaborates closely in various engagements. The ecosystem in Nandi County is
favorable with sufficient rain throughout the year. The cool wet climate, complimented by the rich volcanic soils makes the region an ideal area for tea, maize, and dairy farming.

A total of 12 schools will be selected: 4 for the first subject combination, 4 for the second, and 4 for the third.
Being assigned to a Teacher Training College (TTC) in Kenya as a teacher is a prestigious position that demands a strong educational foundation and particular credentials. These roles require not only academic qualifications but also passion, experience, and the capacity to train future instructors with care and quality.
A Bachelor’s Degree in Education (B.Ed), preferably with a strong focus on a subject related to the TTC curriculum, such as Mathematics, English, Kiswahili, or Education Foundations, is often required to be eligible. A Master’s Degree or further professional training may be necessary for more complex or specialized courses.
Having teaching experience is essential. The majority of TTCs seek applicants who have spent a few years teaching at secondary schools or universities. The instructor gains a real-world grasp of classroom management and curriculum execution from this encounter.
Candidates must also be in good standing and registered with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). The TSC registration guarantees the institution that the instructor is dedicated to ethical teaching practices and has the necessary professional credentials.
In addition, soft skills are important. Since TTCs are not simply teaching material but rather training student-teachers to educate future generations, they favor teachers who exhibit excellent communication, mentoring, and leadership skills. A candidate may stand out due to their patience, flexibility, and real love for teaching.
As a result, even if the route to becoming stationed at a TTC is tough, with the correct combination of education, experience, and heart, it’s a rewarding position that enables you to influence the future of education from the ground up.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has called on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to exhibit fairness and consideration during the teacher recruitment process within the country. This comes in light of the backlash over the recent promotion of 25,252 teachers.
Speaking to the press on Saturday, April 19, KNUT Secretary General Collins Oyuu remarked that the commission should give priority to hiring teachers who finished their college education earlier than newer graduates.
“The commission needs to be fair and humane. The choice of a teacher who graduated from teachers college in 2023 while neglecting those who graduated in 2010 raises more concerns than solutions,” he stated.
“And as a union, we must clearly express that even in the context of employment, fairness is crucial, because there are teachers over 50 years old; where will they go? Since they are still available, they need to be employed,” he further explained.
The Secretary General added that the political sphere should honor the commission’s independence, which he indicated has failed to fulfill its responsibilities, and should avoid interfering with the hiring of teachers in the country. This request follows reports that State House has been involved in swaying the promotion and recruitment of teachers, contrary to the laws that allocate the TSC exclusive authority over the hiring and management of teachers.
“The Teachers Service Commission, to some extent, has relinquished its duty and collaborative role in the employment of teachers,” he noted.
“We cannot oppose the President’s executive authority to hire teachers, but the manner in which certain politicians distribute these positions raises questions; yes, assistance is welcome, but it must be fair,” he articulated.
Oyuu’s remarks come just days after the union also demanded the swift release of the Ksh64 billion in accrued capitation funds to assist the already ailing education sector.
KNUT emphasized that the holdup of these funds has severely hindered school heads from operating and managing schools effectively.
On Monday, March 3, Oyuu observed that the delay is primarily why some school administrators are choosing to send students home even before the official end of term.
“Why should there be a delay in capitation? How do you expect heads of institutions to manage schools? Because you cannot rely on your own funds to manage schools. When we hear of heads of institutions and principals having to send students home early or for an extended period, we understand the reasons,” he remarked.
“It is perilous to keep learners in schools without capitation. And for those heads who are astute enough to steer clear of strikes in schools, I believe they are doing their utmost,” he concluded.
