Mosoriot Teachers Training College (TTC) has opened a month-long registration exercise for Diploma in Primary Teacher Education (DPTE) 2023-2026 cohort trainees seeking to clear outstanding assessments, following the high number of referrals recorded at the institution.
An administrative notice signed by Deputy Principal for Academic Affairs Shadrack Cherwon, on behalf of the Senior Principal, says registration for candidates who missed School-Based Assessments (SBAs) and Practicums, or who were referred, opens on November 9, 2026, and closes on December 8, 2026.
The circular cites directives from the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) under reference KNEC/AA/GEN/TEAM/REG/SUP/2026/01, dated November 3, 2026.
Affected trainees are instructed to pay the college Sh7,200 for KNEC retake registration and Sh5,000 for practicum fees, and then register in person at the college reception.
The notice follows examination results showing that Mosoriot TTC recorded 927 referred candidates out of 944 who sat the assessments, leaving only 17 trainees eligible for direct graduation.
The pattern extends to several public teacher training colleges across the country, where 5,348 of 13,680 candidates were referred. Large numbers of referrals were also recorded at St Mark's Kigari TTC, with 541 referrals out of 860 candidates; Kaimosi TTC, with 442 out of 665; and Asumbi TTC, with 422 out of 750.
Stakeholders and trainee representatives have attributed the high referral rates to the demanding 24-unit structure of the DPTE curriculum, alongside reported technical disruptions during digital assessments.
