The teachers we currently have in Kenya hold certificates only. The government recently gave a directive that teachers should do a postgraduate diploma course.


Adding a degree will make it even better. The following reasons justify why they should do a degree program.

1. Depth of the content

Primary school content is very deep. Teachers have a huge task in delivering content to learners.

The teachers teach all the five subjects, giving them another challenge. A teacher who teachers more than four classes a day have a huge task.


To reduce the problems associating teachers, they should train for four years in universities like any other degree course.


2. To increase critical thinking and decision making

As a teacher, you have to be a quick thinker when it reaches problem solving. Issues like indiscipline in students should not bring headache to teachers. To enable them acquire problem solving skills better, a degree program for primary teachers should be introduced.

3. To build pride in teachers

Holding a degree in any society is a source of bride. If teachers are given the opportunity to pursue a degree as well, they will be proud of their careers. They will get recognized in their societies.


4. For professionalism
