Ministry of Education Initiates Recruitment of Educators for Special Needs Education Programme
The Ministry of Education has revealed the recruitment of current teachers for a full-time Special Needs Education (SNE) Diploma programme at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE), set to commence in 2025.
The programme is aimed at present Teachers Service Commission (TSC) staff who want to focus on instructing students with disabilities.
In a statement, the ministry encouraged qualified teachers to submit their applications for the in-service course, with specialisations offered in domains like visual, physical, and hearing impairments; intellectual disabilities; autism; and deafblind education.
Teachers interested in the intake have been instructed to procure the application forms from the ministry’s website or to visit their county and sub-county education offices.
“Each serving TSC teacher wishing to apply for admission to KISE for the two-year full-time SNE Diploma in-service course is hereby notified that application forms are currently available and can be downloaded from the Ministry of Education website or obtained from the nearest CDEs/SCDEs’ offices,” the statement from Education PS Julius Bitok stated in part.
Additionally, after completing the application forms, the county education offices will need to submit them to the ministry’s headquarters in Nairobi.
“Completed application forms must be delivered in person by the applicant to the SCDE by May 9, 2025. All applications shall be forwarded by the SCDE office to Jogoo House B, Room 710, 618/19, by May 16, 2025, at the latest. ”
Applicants must be Kenyan citizens who are under 50 years old, hold a P1 certificate, and have a minimum of five years of experience as TSC teachers.
Bitok underscored that the registration procedure will incur no costs for the teachers.
Each applicant must submit their application in person and provide original and certified photocopies of academic and professional credentials, a national ID or passport, a recent passport photo, and other pertinent testimonials.
The PS noted that visually impaired applicants do not need to handwrite their application forms.
Successfully chosen candidates will receive SMS alerts with information on how to obtain their admission letters.
