Greetings.Teacher education in Kenya has no curriculum that prepares teacher trainers on how to train teachers to be.What happens is that anybody trained as a teacher is posted to a teacher training institution.What such a teacher will do is to teach content and not how that content can be taught at all levels.This therefore has made skills like listening,speaking,reading and writing not being taught at all.A trained teacher cannot handle such skills thus contributing to many learners performing poorly especially in upper primary and beyond.Learners who attend good early grade [nursery and pre-primary]are likely to do better since their teachers underwent ECD curriculum as opposed to those from Teacher Training colleges and from the university.The four skills is the foundation to other subjects.
