The Universities’ proposal to eliminate Mathematics as a required subject for students pursuing degree and diploma teaching programs was rejected by the Teachers Service Commission.

According to TSC, Mathematics should remain a compulsory course, and that the proposal put up by vice-chancellors, registrars, and deans under the auspices of the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (Kuccps) should be revoked.

As per to Dr. Reuben Nthamburi, TSC Quality Assurance and Standards Director,  mathematics literacy is crucial in the implementation of competence-based curriculum and that teachers must be trained on how to manage it effectively.

His his sentiments came barely a  week after a similar Kuccps conference with universities on degree program placement criteria, which advocated providing alternate subjects for the Bachelor of Education and removing the Bachelor of Education from the curriculum.

In a statement he said,”We, as TSC, would want to clearly state  that the issues of entry requirements of the  Bachelor of Education are still under discussion. We have met the executive committee of vice-chancellors and agreed to  have another meeting”
