Kitui Professionals’ Coordinator Campel Munyambu has said teachers training institutions are not dumping ground for failures.
He lauded the move by the ministry of Education saying that those who don’t qualify to join the college can as well pursue other careers.
“Our children need to be taught by people who have qualified to do so. Different careers require different grades. It’s good that whoever wants to be a teacher will put more efforts in high school to attain the required grade in teaching,” added Munyambu.
The coordinator expressed his concern saying it’s funny that there are even those calling for the grade to be lowered to grade C minus.
He said all those grades are not bad but there are other places they can fit in, especially now that there are so many different institutions.
He called upon learners to identify their dream jobs early in life and stop the behaviour of waiting for parents to choose for them what to do and be in life.
