Graduates from other institutions that are not recognized by the system will not be certified by the Secretary of Education and will also not be admitted into teaching by the TSC.
For those who are interested in applying to Primary Teachers’ Colleges, the entry qualification is strictly Grade 12 with ‘C’ Grades or a GPA of 2.00 and above.
