TSC Delocalization; 22 Head Teachers from Kisii County moved to Nyamira

A total of 22 Head Teachers have been moved from Kisii County to the neighbouring Nyamira County. This is in line with the Commission’s policy on delocalization. A quick check on those moved shows that all of them are natives of Kisii County.

The Commission kicked off the delocalization exercise in January, 2018. Other massive deployments would then follow in April, August and December of the same year. Though in April, 2019 the Commission slowed down the transfers as only a handful administrators were moved.

Low turnout mars TSC Internship teacher interviews as Many applicants stay away over grievances; List of schools missing applicants

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:

  1. Low pay and lack of any allowances,
  2. The interview sessions are expensive in terms of huge fares to far flung areas with no surety of clinching the employment chance,
  3. Risk of missing permanent employment if the vacancies are advertised within the internship contract period,
  4. Many requirements like the risk cover, Certificate of Good Conduct and others,
  5. Discriminatory working conditions as interns will be subjected to thorough supervision from their permanent counterparts,
  6. No guarantee of permanent employment after the one year internship contract,
  7. Better pay under BOM (Board of Management) terms.

TSC set to roll out Biometric registration of all teachers in the Country

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will roll out a mass count and bio-metric registration of all secondary and primary school teachers in the Country. The exercise was initially scheduled to commence in May last year (2020) could not take off as schools were closed due to outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic.

But, the Commission has now put all plans in place to roll out the head count in May this year when schools reopen for third term.

“The biometric registration shall entail validation of data of teachers in all public primary and secondary schools, Teacher Training Colleges, Centre for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education in Africa (CEMASTEA) and Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE),” the Commission said via a presser.

TSC offices at Upper Hill in Nairobi.

It is believed that there are many ghost workers in the Commission who lead to massive losses of government funds. The biometric registration of teachers will therefore weed out the ghost workers with all the teachers under the commission’s payroll expected to undergo fresh registration to verify their distribution, utilisation and teaching specialisation in public schools.

Most popular news;

All teachers under the TSC payroll will undergo fresh listing from the school level. Earlier on TSC Deputy Commission Secretary Kennedy Mulunda revealed that this exercise would cover all the 321,811 teachers in 32,004 basic education institutions across the country.

“We want to update the existing information on the teachers’ biodata and validate their requirement in all public schools and teacher training colleges by size and learner enrollment,” Mulunda had said.

The biometric registration of the teachers will involve the usage of their fingerprints to capture details. Additionally, each teacher will have to produce their national identity card or birth certificate and any other relevant identification documents such as employment or designation letters.

The exercise will also reveal teacher distribution based on subject combinations and will unearth staffing gaps that will inform training needs for various subject areas.

Seven counties will participate in the pilot roll-out of the program with the national exercise scheduled for August/ September 2021.

Uasin Gishu, Homa Bay, Bungoma, Nyeri, Kilifi, Kitui and Garissa were selected because they present both rural and urban setups with 143 institutions sampled from the areas consisting of primary, secondary and teachers training colleges.

To monitor daily attendance by teachers, the Commission shall then install Biometric gadgets in schools for teachers to clock in and out. Currently, teachers manually sign in and out of school.

The electronic registration of teachers will therefore expose teachers who miss lessons without written permissions. This enlisting of teachers is also expected to help the Commission to balance the teaching staff since it will unravel the imbalances across all public schools.

TSC to roll out mass teacher transfers

As teachers proceed to the April holiday most of them will be waiting with bathed breaths as their employer is expected to roll out massive transfers. The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has announced that there shall be a major shake up administration of public schools; mostly mixed ones.

A new policy adopted by the Commission is seeking to reorganize placement of heads and deputies in mixed schools to ensure that they are not of the same gender.

“In its efforts to promote gender mainstreaming and equity, TSC is reorganizing placement of heads and deputies in mixed schools to ensure that they are not of the same gender. This is among a raft of measures taken by the Commission to conform to the requirements of the Constitution on inclusiveness, equity, equality, non- discrimination and affirmative action.” Says the Commission.

This comes a week after the International Women’s Day when Dr Nancy Macharia said that the Commission has put measures in place to ensure that it conforms with the constitution on the inclusion of both genders in leadership positions. This move is expected to foster a gender inclusive learning environment in public schools.

Already, TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia has directed all the TSC Regional Directors to implement the policy that is aimed at fostering inclusivity in public schools. She directs regional directors are to liaise with the county directors who are to identify mixed schools that have heads and deputies of same gender and subsequently place the deputies appropriately after the national examinations.

“Identification and deployment of institutional administrators is premised on career progression guidelines and the policy on appointment and deployment of institutional administrators (2017). The process is underpinned on values and principles of governance which include but not limited to: equity, equality, inclusiveness, non-discrimination and affirmative action,” Macharia says in a circular addressed to all Regional TSC Directors.

Mixed schools with Principals who both are of the same gender will see one of them getting the marching orders. Macharia wants the list of the heads and deputies sent to her before April 30 once the placement is completed. This will lead to massive transfers of the affected administrators; mostly deputies.

Implementation of this new policy follows the commission’s research findings that showed a majority of the mixed schools in the country having heads and deputies of the same gender.

Macharia says a scenario where both heads and deputies are of the same gender leads to unprecedented gender imbalances in the learning institutions.

“The scenario neither fosters gender-inclusive learning environment nor provides a supportive atmosphere for all learners…Accordingly, to ensure a supportive learning environment for learners of both gender the commission’s policy is to appoint and deploy administrators of applicable gender to head and deputise learning institutions,” notes Dr.Macharia.

This policy will supplement the contentious delocalization exercise that has seen thousands of heads and their deputies moved away from home counties.

Shortcut to faster TSC employment

Perhaps you have been tarmacking too long after graduating with your Diploma or Bachelors Degree in Education. Maybe your efforts to get employed by the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, have been in vain after attempting several times. And you are at the blink of giving up on the teaching profession. You are not alone my dear friend. There are thousands of graduate teachers out there who find themselves in this precarious situation. I met this graduate teacher, sometimes back, who was so desperate for TSC employment. The teacher was willing to pay the price if only there could be assurance of clinching that elusive TSC job. After many years of attending interviews, in vain, the teacher was so disappointed that all this while there was no chance of getting into the TSC payroll.

Many desperate graduate teachers have fallen prey to conmen and women who promise to deliver TSC employment leeters. Truth be told these fraudsters have no connections at the Commission and hence end up piling more misery on the desperate job seekers. The process of recruiting teachers in Kenya is crystal clear and in fact it is done in a transparent manner. The process is flawless and one is allowed to launch a complaint to the Commission head office if she/ he is shortchanged during the recruitment process.

Here are links to the most important news portals:

But, did you know that you can enhance your chances of getting TSC employment ahead of your competitors? It is so easy. Consider the following and maximize your chances.

TSC MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

Before you dive into the teaching profession, ensure that you have read and understood the current minimum requirements for one to be certified by TSC. For example, if you are intending to pursue a Bachelors of Education Degree Programme you must have scored a minimum of a C+ in each of the two teaching subjects you wish to teach at high school. This requirement has locked out many graduates. For instance, if want to be a Maths/ Physics Teacher then you must have a minimum of a C+ in each of these two subjects. Again, it is prudent that you choose your teaching subjects carefully.

In short, select the two subjects where you have performed well. This is because in case of a tie during the TSC recruitment interviews, then the panelists will consider the performance of the tying applicants at KCSE. For complete information on all the current TSC registration and recruitment guidelines, click on this link; New: Academic and Professional Requirements for Registration of Teachers.

SUBJECT COMBINATION

The subjects you choose to study at the university or college play a significant role in terms of how fast you will be absorbed by TSC. I never to to say this but some subjects are more marketable than others. This is simply because some subjects are flooded with unemployed graduates. Some of the most marketable subjects, currently, can be found on this link; Most Marketable TSC Subjects, Best TSC Employment Subjects, TSC employment readily availabe.

PERFORMANCE AT KCSE AND UNIVERSITY/ COLLEGE

Your KCSE mean grade sometimes come in handy during TSC recruitment sessions. In case two applicants tie, then the panelists will have a look at the candidate with stronger KCSE certificate. Strength of your diploma or degree certificate also plays a key role on the marks you garner, according to the latest TSC Recruitment guidelines and marking scheme. 

PARTICIPATION IN CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.

Applicants who actively participate in Co-curricular activities have a upper hand in clinching TSC slots. Try to at least participate in one or two Co- curricular activities and ensure you are certified or given a recommendation letter to that effect.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAMMES

The Commission has enlisted the services of teachers working on the internship programme. In the past, such teachers have had an added advantage over their colleagues since TSC produced marking schemes favouring the Intern teachers.

The first impression you create lasts longer. Be smart during interviews. Try to be eloquent. Above all be sincere.

YEARS STAYED OUT AFTER GRADUATION.

Unfortunately, or fortunately I should say, the current TSC recruitment guidelines and marking scheme favours graduates who have stayed out longer. The longer you stay out the more marks you are awarded.

Finally, do not give up. Never pay fraudsters who give false employment promises.

TSC sets new dates for promotions interviews 2021

TSC promotions 2021- The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has set new dates for Diploma teachers’ promotions interviews. This is after an outcry from the teachers that they would miss the interviews as others are involved in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations marking.

The teachers can now breath a sigh of relief after the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) intervened. Many of the affected teachers had arrived in Nairobi when they received invitations for the interviews, which came with very short notice.

Following many complaints, the union conducted a survey among the examiners to establish the depth of the problem. Indeed, many examiners were having torrid times trying to decide wether to shun the marking exercise and attend the interviews or not.

“In the circumstances, we urge the Commission to immediately call off the interviews slated for this month and conduct the same in May or on any convenient dates after the marking of the KCSE exams.” Reads a demand letter from Kuppet Secretary General Akello Misori.

In July 2020, the Commission embarked on the final phase of promotion of teachers for the financial year 2020/2021. A calendar of activity for the interviews was prepared with the last set of interviews scheduled to take place from 26/4/2021 to 30/4/2021.

However as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic which disrupted the Education calendar in the country, the scheduled interviews have conflicted with marking of the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) national examination currently taking place.

Consequently, the Commission has re-scheduled the interviews for advert Number 2/2021, 3/2021, 4/2021, 6/2021, and 7/2021 to a date to be communicated in due course.

TSC is seeking to promote all the diploma holders before the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) comes to an end in July this year. See also; Teachers’ new salaries, promotions; Details of the 2021-2025 TSC- KUPPET Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA).

Delayed interview results

Kuppet is also demanding answers on behalf of some some teachers being invited for fresh interviews when they had done the same in December 2020, and are yet to receive any communication on the outcome.

The Commission has also not released promotion results for teachers who attended interviews in February this year.

TSC receives a public apology from the Standard Newspaper over the incorrect Interns’ news feature

The Standard Newspaper has apologized to the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, over an erroneous feature that it published about teacher interns; last week. The story caused frenzy amongst the teaching circles as it reported that the interns (who were employed late lats year) had been offered permanent and Pensionable terms.

“In our Friday’s issue of The Standard, we carried a story indicating that the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has employed 8,141 tutors on permanent and pensionable terms. We have since established that this is the number of intern teachers hired.
The Commission has, however, recruited 8,920 teachers on permanent and pensionable terms,” reads a presser by the Standard.

“TSC targeted to hire 10,300 interns and 9,069 teachers. Consequently, the commission is still processing 2,159 interns who will soon be put on payroll. Also being processed are 149 teachers to be hired on permanent and pensionable terms. We apologise to the commission for the error,” the Standard added.

TSC kicked off the internship programme in 2019 with about 10,000 teachers enrolled on the program. An intern teacher in secondary school earns Sh15,000 per month while their primary schools’ counterparts pocket Sh10,000 per month.

The Commission on Friday dismissed the report by the Standard terming it unfortunate. “It has come to my attention that the hardcopy edition of today’s Standard newspapers has reported that TSC had hired 8141 intern teachers on permanent basis. I wish to state here that this information is incorrect and it’s unfortunate. The same is being addressed,” said TSC’s Head of Communications, Beatrice Wababu.
