Ksh 15B Teacher Colleges Project Stalled at 1% Completion After 15 Years, CoB Report Reveals

A government budget implementation review reveals that the construction of 10 Teachers Training Colleges, launched in 2011, is only 1% complete and is expected to finish in 2027. The Primary School Infrastructure Improvement Project, started in 2010, has reached just 27% completion and will run until 2028. Delays are attributed to budget constraints. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) received a Ksh387.18 billion allocation for FY 2025/26, and its training programs, including on CBC, are on track, but digitization of teacher records and performance appraisal training are lagging.
