Students develop both technical computing skills and pedagogical competence for delivering technology education. Kenya's education sector emphasises technical and vocational education, with computer studies offered in secondary schools and technical institutes. The programme responds to the demand for qualified technology education teachers who can deliver computer studies and ICT subjects in both the Competency-Based Curriculum and technical education pathways. The programme is delivered through lectures, programming and hardware laboratories, workshop sessions, micro-teaching and supervised teaching practice in secondary schools and technical institutions. Students gain practical experience in both computing laboratories and classroom teaching contexts. Graduates pursue careers as computer studies teachers, technical education instructors and ICT coordinators in public and private secondary schools, technical training institutes, polytechnics and vocational training centres. They can also work as educational technology consultants and curriculum developers for technical subjects. Prospective students should have strong analytical skills, an interest in computing and technology, and a commitment to teaching technical subjects. The programme is suitable for students who want to combine technical computing knowledge with education practice in Kenya's growing technical and vocational education sector.
