ffice of Women Representative Mandera County through NGAAF has distributed sanitary towels and other personal items to over 1, 000 girls in all girl schools in the county.
Speaking at Moi Girls’ Secondary School, Mandera Women Representative, Amina Gedoh Hassan confirmed that her office has also focused on supporting Girl Child Education and empowering women.
The women representative though NGAAF has also procured library equipment for Moi Girls’ Secondary School.
“My focus has always been on Girl Child Education and it’s for this reason my office has procured library equipment for this new library in Moi Girls’. It’s my hope that this small gesture will go a long way in helping our girls in their education journey,” said Hassan.
Among the equipment procured for the school library are reading tables, book trolley, shelves, drawers and magazine stands.
Hassan pleaded with the girls to focus on their education because educating a girl is educating the whole community and it’s important to this society.
“I want to plead with you, despite the challenges brought about covid-19, you must focus on your education in order to transform our society,” added Hassan.
The Women Representative emphasised against practices such as FGM and early marriages which were rampart in the area. She asked the girls to report parents and guardians forcing them into these illegal acts to relevant authorities.
According to the Women Rep, NGAAF used over Sh1.2M to equip the library and supply sanitary towels to over 1000 girls across all girl schools in Mandera County.
The Kenyan government has invested a lot of resources in the education sector to improve the learning environment.
Education Principal Secretary Dr. Belio Kipsang announced that this year alone the government has released over Sh. 30 billion as capitation for schools infrastructural development. “This year the government has released Sh. 15 billion as capitation to secondary schools and Sh.4.6 billion for primary schools,” said Dr. Kipsang.
The PS added that a further Sh. 15 billion has been set aside for infrastructural development in the schools adding: “These resources have come in handy to enable schools heads who are at the moment grappling with infrastructural challenges in a bid to address social distancing in their schools.”
Besides, he said every year substantial amount of money is allocated for maintenance and improvement and currently, Sh.2.4 billion has been set aside for secondary, 300 million for primary and another Sh300 million for the low cost boarding schools in hazard counties. “So far the education sector has consumed 27 percent of its budget just to ensure that learners study in a conducive environment,” explained Dr. Kipsang.
He appreciated the contribution by partners including World Bank that has released Sh8.2 billion for infrastructure development in 30 counties that had educational challenges.
On schools reopening, the PS said by Tuesday the turnout was at 95 percent that he assured would scale up to 100 percent next week. “We have noted that our learners are happy to be back in school and as a ministry we will strive to recover on time lost and regularize our programs into the new calendar,” he said.
Dr. Kipsang who spoke Thursday when he visited several schools in Nandi to monitor learners reporting and adherence towards Covid 19 mitigation lauded his fellow PSs who are spread out across the country to monitor progress in schools and ensure that learners are safe.
“We have had three PSs in every county in the last two weeks checking and ensuring that our children have reported and are comfortable,” he pointed out. He visited Nandi Primary, Kapnyeberai Girls, Terige boys, Chepterit girls and Kapsisiywa Secondary schools.
He called for continued collaboration between both levels of government to ensure learners are safe in schools during this Covid-19 period by providing face-masks, sanitizers and clean water for hand washing for the most vulnerable. ”The government through the ministry of health has given out 7.5million masks, KCB 1 million masks, UNICEF 750, 000 masks all targeting poorest learners,” he said.
Education CS Professor George Magoha has said government is providing masks for learners in slums and schools with highly populated learners.
On the Economic Stimulus Desks making program, Kipsang said about 67 percent have been delivered and the rest would be handed to school by Monday next week. He urged the education officials to do proper paper works so that the desks contractors are paid their dues promptly. “So far, desks worth Sh19m have been delivered but only Sh. 5million paid. Going forward, payment will not take more than 48 hours once all the paperwork is correctly done,” he assured.
He was accompanied by the Presidential Delivery Unit director Timothy Kilimo, Nandi South Deputy County Commissioner John Tonui, County Director of Education Zachary Mutwiri, members from the County security team and officers from the education department.
Universities are the highest learning institutions in Kenya and the World over. They offer training majorly in undegraduate and Post Graduate Studies. In Kenya, the Courses offered in the Universities must be accredited by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Services, KUCCPS. It is the same body that selects and places students to higher learning institutions; Universities, Colleges and Polytechnics. To qualify for University placement one must attain the minimum set Mean grade and particular course requirements. Each Course offered at particular university has its own cluster cut off points, though. Most university courses take a minimum of 4 years; while, some take even more. An academic year at the university takes two semesters of three months each. University students get fees loans from various organizations. Top on the list is the Higher Education Loans Board, HELB, that advances both loans and Bursaries.

Claims are submitted by hospitals directly to NHIF after the contributors have been discharged from the hospitals. The claims are examined by the Fund to ensure validity before payment.
A claim can however be rejected and the hospital informed accordingly to incorporate either the missing documents or to address the abnormalities identified.
The Fund strives to pay claims within 14 days upon receipt of the claim from the hospitals. Members who opt to clear the bills with the hospital may launch a general claim directly to NHIF for reimbursement.
Universities are the highest learning institutions in Kenya and the World over. They offer training majorly in undegraduate and Post Graduate Studies.

To qualify for University placement one must attain the minimum set Mean grade and particular course requirements. Each Course offered at particular university has its own cluster cut off points, though. Most university courses take a minimum of 4 years; while, some take even more. An academic year at the university takes two semesters of three months each. University students get fees loans from various organizations. Top on the list is the Higher Education Loans Board, HELB, that advances both loans and Bursaries.

Meet Doris Kemunto Mogire who scored a B+, of 69 points, in the KCSE 2019 examinations and who is unhappy with the course she has been placed to undertake. Doris, just like her peers, had big dreams and was hoping to pursue a degree in medicine in University. But, her dreams hang on balance after The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) enrolled her in a TVET institution to pursue a diploma in pharmaceutical technology.
The news of her placement in an inferior course caught her by a big surprise. She is distraught and had to cry for three days.
“She cried for three days. She was not eating in this house. When this matter appeared in the newspaper (Nation), I showed her and told her she was not the only candidate affected. That’s when she calmed down. She used to ask me why she even went to school,” explained her mother when interviewed by a local TV channel.
Doris Kemunto Mogire is one of the top 100 performers in 2019 KCSE exams who is set to join Kisii polytechnic for a diploma in pharmaceutical technology. Doris feels short changed. She is among the about 2,000 KCSE 2019 students who scored a C+ and above (which is the minimum entry grade to university) but opted for courses in TVETs.
According to the mother, the 2019 KCSE candidate kept saying she does not see anything good in life if she does not get admitted to her course of choice.
According to results shown to the media, the former student at Precious Blood Kagwe Girls High School, garnered a B- in English, B+ in Kiswahili, A- in Mathematics, B+ in Biology, B- in Physics, B+ in Chemistry, B in CRE and A- in Home Science.
“I believe a diploma won’t be enough to help me, my parents and my younger sisters in future. I’ve always been passionate about getting a degree. My father has always struggled to ensure I finish school,” Doris said.
“My dream and my passion is to become a doctor; that is what I wanted. I believe if I will be given a chance, If will be helped I can make it,” she added.
She wanted to pursue the course in Nursing at Kisii, Meru, Embu and Kirinyaga universities
According to Doris’s father, she had worked hard to pass Biology and was the only one who had gotten a B+ in the subject in the school.
WHAT NEXT FOR DORIS AND THOSE IN SAME DILEMMA?
According to figures presented by KUCCPS, 122,831 candidates secured placement to degree courses in universities while 88,724 got placed in TVET institutions. Of those placed in TVET, 53,726 will be admitted to Diploma; 29,112 to Craft Certificate and 5,886 to Artisan Certificate courses.
But, all is not lost for those unhappy with the placement results. KUCCPS provides them with a chance to apply for inter institution transfers. The only impediment may be unavailability of slots in the preferred institution. Nevertheless, one can proceed and make the application.
Empty halls characterized the ongoing TSC internship teacher interview sessions in some parts of the country; as the would be applicants stayed away. Panelists who had thronged the interview venues by 8.00am were caught by surprise when no shortlisted applicant showed up.
“We have been forced to suspend the exercise as no one has turned up,” said one panelist at an interview venue in the western region. In this particular venue, there were no interviewees despite the the fact that the respective schools had sent notifications to shortlisted candidates. “I had sent notifications to all the 5 shortlisted candidates. They promised to come for the interview (today). Unfortunately attempts to reach them have been futile as their phones are either off or calls go unanswered,” said one Principal who sought for anonymity.
According to this Principal, the panelists had waited till 12.00pm and when there were no signs of any applicant showing up, they decided to adjourn the exercise. “The officer in charge from TSC has instructed that we reach out to a qualified applicant so as to sign the contract form by next week,” he added.
Reasons for skipping the interviews
Most of the applicants who vowed skip the internships sighted a myriad of reasons; for their refusal to take up the slots. “The pay is too little. How can TSC pay a graduate a paltry Sh15,000 only!” wondered one applicant who was shortlisted but failed to go for interviews.
“To make matters worse, the pay is subjected to statutory and other deductions. Also, there are no allowances for teacher interns as those paid to other TSC teachers. This is being inhuman. The Commission is taking graduate teachers for a ride. I shall not take up the offer,” she added. According to the applicants who skipped the interviews, these were the reasons for their actions:
Low pay and lack of any allowances,
The interview sessions are expensive in terms of huge fares to far flung areas with no surety of clinching the employment chance,
Risk of missing permanent employment if the vacancies are advertised within the internship contract period,
Many requirements like the risk cover, Certificate of Good Conduct and others,
Discriminatory working conditions as interns will be subjected to thorough supervision from their permanent counterparts,
No guarantee of permanent employment after the one year internship contract,
The Commission has been forced to re-advertise internship teacher vacancies in West Pokot. It is believed no applicant had shown interest prompting the TSC to put up the advert. “Teachers Service Commission invites applications from suitably qualified candidates to fill 17 teacher internship posts for Secondary Schools in West Pokot County,” reads the new advert; in part.
Here are links to the most important news portals:
The Teachers Service Commission is in the process of recruiting 10,300 teacher interns (4,300 posts for Primary Schools and 6,000 posts for Secondary Schools) who are expected to report to schools in January, 2020.

The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers – KUPPET has come out to support the move by President Uhuru Kenyatta to put on hold any plans to rush reopening of schools. On Monday September 28, 2020 the President announced that schools will only be reopened once the covid 19 curve flattens adding that the health of learners should be given priority.
KUPPET now tells Education Cabinet Secretary Professor George Magoha to ‘get his act in together’ and ensure schools are ready to receive learners.
Here is the full presser by KUPPET;
Education stakeholders fully support President Kenyatta’s statement to the nation yesterday (On Monday September 28, 2020). Whereas many Kenyans were expecting the President to announce a date for the re-opening of schools, his statement addressed the health concerns that all parents, teachers and learners have about the capacity of our schools to cope with COVID-19.
The import of the President’s statement was that schools would only re-open once the government enacts safeguards to protect learners and teachers from COVID-19. As a union, this is the position we support. Last week ago, after the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Prof. George Magoha, called teachers to their work stations, we urged the government to remit the capitation funds to schools for the development of infrastructure – including the improvement of classrooms, sanitation facilities, dormitories and creation of isolation rooms to manage emergencies, among others.
KUPPET believes that the Ministry of Education has the financial resources to enhance the safety in our schools. On the minimum, every school must have sufficient learning spaces allowing social distancing, water for sanitation, isolation wards for holding suspected cases pending medical examination, and counseling services. The government should also provide at least three re-usable facemasks to all learners.
In compliance with the President’s directive, we urge the Cabinet Secretary to immediately establish a criteria of assessing schools on readiness to re-open for learning under Ministry of Health protocols for the containment of COVID-19.
Secondary schools are eyeing thousands of 2019 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, candidates who failed to get the minimum University entry grade so as to enroll them to repeat; this year. In passionate messages circulated on Social Media platforms, the schools seek to recruit candidates who scored mean grades of C- (minus) and C (plain).
Most schools are offering various incentives so as to attract as many repeaters as possible in what is seen as a move to increase their overall performance.
“Good morning. kindly connect me to any candidate who scored a C (plain) and C-(minus) respectively in last year’s k.c.s.e and he/she is willing to repeat for a free scholarship,” reads one of such messages.
Other schools are even ready to offer more incentives, including: paying registration fees for the repeaters and giving them pocket money.
“Are you a candidate who sat for K.C.S.E. 2019 and obtained C (plain) or C-(minus) and you believe that you can add value again at ….. partnering with well wishers is willing to give a SCHOLARSHIP to you in 2020 in form 4 so that u can unleash your full potential,” reads yet another message.
According to the latest circular from KNEC, the registration of candidates for the 2020 KCPE, KCSE and KCSE QT examinations will start from 2nd January 2020 and end on 15th February, 2020.
“Any 2019 female candidate with a mean grade of C and wishes to repeat form four 2020. Full year fee shall be provided,” read, yet, another advert.
The government of Kenya pays examination fees for all candidates in public and private schools except repeaters, prisoners, private candidates and non Citizens.
A total of 697,222 candidates sat the 2019 KCSE exams in 10,287 centres countrywide; with 63, 102 scoring C (plain) and 83,358 others managing C- (minus).

Of these, 2,310 are for head teachers(T scale 10; Grade C5) while, the remaining 3,733 are for Deputy Head teachers II (T scale 9; Grade C4).

A group of Lawyers has written to the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, to seek answers on the terms of engagement for the Intern teachers. The Lawyers from Mugeria, Lempaa & Kariuki Advocates want the Commission to explain how it arrived at the Sh10,000 and Sh15,000 that it intends to pay the Primary and Secondary Schools Inters; respectively.
“This letter is in relation to the contracts employing teachers in the Republic of Kenya. Specifically, we are aware that you are paying primary school teachers Kshs. 10,000 and high school teachers Kshs. 15,000,” the Lawyers wrote in a letters dated December 2, 2019 and addressed to the TSC boss Dr Nancy Macharia.
“Specifically, we would like your commission to provide to us the following information: The rationale that was used to arrive at Kshs. 10,000 and Kshs. 15,000 for primary and high school teachers respectively as remuneration,” the Lawyers added.
The teachers’ employer is currently recruiting a total of 10,300 intern teachers who are expected to report to schools in January, 2020. The exercise was marred by low turnouts in some recruiting centres as interns stayed away citing low pay and ‘unfair’ contractual terms from TSC.
According to TSC, the intern teachers are to be employed for a contract period of one year. The Commission is not clear on whether it will then employ them on Permanent and Pensionable terms as it happened to the contracted interns in 2010.
But now, the Lawyers wants the Commission to explain Whether in arriving at the above stated amounts it consulted the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. The Lawyers wonder ‘why teachers who are as qualified as permanently employed teachers are subjected to such low salaries,’ adding that they may take legal redress on behalf of the interns.
