In the April 2 notification, KNEC stated that these skills would be essential for instructors at the primary, junior, and senior school levels, as well as in teacher training.
“The Council wishes to invite qualified teachers and teacher educators to apply for training in the development of quality test items for effective implementation of Competency Based Assessment in basic education and teacher training levels,” part of the notice read.
“Trained teachers and teacher educators could be engaged by KNEC as contracted professionals from time to time as may be necessary.”
KNEC indicated that once trained, teachers and teacher educators will be able to be contracted on an as-needed basis.
