Employing TSC intern teachers on permanent and pensionable terms. Way forward?

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, opted to recruit teachers on an internship programme in a bid to address the teething staffing gaps in public primary and secondary schools. This programme would see intern teachers hired to work along the ones on permanent and pensionable terms. whereas both categories execute similar teaching tasks, the monthly perks for teacher interns are much lower compared to their counterparts on permanent terms.

Intern teachers working in secondary schools receive a gross pay of Sh15,000 per month while, those in primary schools pocket Sh10,000. This pay is subjected to further deductions like income tax and the national hospital insurance fund (NHIF). Those paying student loans to the higher education loans board (helb) receive much lower salaries.

The lowest paid teacher on permanent terms earns a monthly gross pay of between Sh25,692 (minimum) and Sh30,304 (maximum). While, the highest paid teacher pockets over Sh200,000 per month.

The commission employed over 10,000 interns recruited in November 2019 and who have been hoping that they would one day be absorbed permanently. Their contract runs for one year; up to November, 2020.

Pressure has been mounting on the teachers’ employer to give the intern teachers permanent jobs. In December, last year,a group of lawyers took TSC into task over intern teachers’ contract terms and salaries. Also, members of parliament have been against this idea of employing teachers on internship.

Whereas the teachers are free to apply for permanent slots, these slots are just a handball and their advertisements are equally far between.

TSC projects a teacher shortage of close to 50,000 teachers in primary schools alone. The situation is equally wanting in secondary learning institutions as a result of the influx of large numbers from primary schools.

Employing contract teachers on permanent basis. Which way the TSC?

In its 2020/ 2021 budget estimates, the commission says a total of Sh2.1 billion is required to employ more teachers. According to the TSC Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Nancy Macharia, the funds will be utilized to employ 5,000 teachers on permanent terms and other 10,000 teachers on the internship programme.

“The funds are estimated to employ 5,000 new teachers for seven months and 10,000 interns for nine months,” Dr. Macharia recently told a parliamentary committee on education.

So, where does this leave the current interns? This is the mind boggling question lingering in the over 10,000 teacher interns.

Truth be said, the commission is not considering to absorb the current group of teacher interns as there are no budgetary allocation for the same; as at now. According to Dr. Macharia, the commission is projecting to recruit about 40,000 more tutors; and again on internship. If TSC decides to absorb the interns permanently (which will be a good thing) then it will be a big sigh of relieve for those currently on contractual terms. In 2010, for instance, it had to take the intervention of parliament for the interns to be absorbed. In the subsequent employments the teacher interns were awarded an extra marks range to give them an edge over others. The current recruitment guidelines haven’t included such a provision. The recruitment guidelines and marking schemes give more weight to teachers who graduated earlier.

A voice of reason somewhere should listen to the cries of intern teachers; sooner than later.

TSC needs Sh70b to hire 98,461 teachers

TSC needs Sh70b to hire 98,461 teachers

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) needs Sh70 billion to recruit 98,461 teachers for both junior secondary and high school in order to address the current shortage. This is according to the latest statisctics from the Teachers’ employer.

Outgoing TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia, who appeared before the Senate National Cohesion and Equal Opportunities Committee, denied claims that the commission had failed in its recruitment role, leaving it to politicians to dish out employment letters in villages.

Ms Macharia told the committee, chaired by Marsabit Senator Mohammed Chute, that the commission has so far recruited 68,313 teachers for JSS on permanent and pensionable terms. This followed a question by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, who sought to know why enough teachers had not been hired to ensure quality learning for pupils.

“I would like to inform the Senate that if TSC is allocated Sh70 billion, we will be able to employ all the teachers needed in our schools. In Junior Secondary, we have a shortage of 72,442 teachers, while in Secondary schools under the 8-4-4 system, we have a shortage of 26,039 teachers,” said Macharia.

Macharia told the Committee that the commission had already recruited 9,000 teachers in the 2022/23 financial year, 39,550 teachers in the 2024/25 financial year and an additional 20,000 intern teachers who reported in January.

According to the TSC boss, this brings the total targeted recruitment to 68,550 positions. Out of these, 68,313 teachers have so far been recruited and deployed across the country, with 237 vacancies remaining unfilled due to a lack of applicants.

She said the unfilled vacancies include 56 permanent and pensionable positions in Mandera County, and 181 intern positions—114 in Mandera, 34 in Marsabit, and 33 in Wajir.

Out of 68,313 Junior Secondary School teachers recruited, the Kalenjin community takes the lion share with 10,769 followed by Luhyas (10, 466), Kamba (9,557), Kikuyu (8,799), Luo (8,721) and the Abagusii at 6,796 respectively.

Senators pressed Macharia to explain why politicians were reportedly issuing teacher recruitment letters at funerals, with senators Chute and Omtatah questioning how such teachers were absorbed into the service.

Teachers express their fury against KNEC over exams; This is what has angered the teachers, lately

Leave a comment

A section of teachers has been angered by the decision to use a hazardous chemical as one of the reagents during this year’s Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, KCSE, exams. Teachers Manning the Chemistry practical exam castigated the Kenya National Examinations Council, KNEC, for exposing them and candidates to Xylene; a known, poisonous, organic compound. After the Chemistry Practical that was done on Friday November 8, 2019 the teachers could not hide their anger; pouring to social media to condemn the council.

“Ifikie KNEC and TSC ( To KNEC and the Teachers Service Commission; TSC)

Xylene is carcinogenic and very harzadous☢♨🚯🚹🚺

I’m sure most of us here today (on Friday) witnessed the grave danger Chemistry teachers were exposed to during the KCSE Chemistry practical, Kuppet as our voice should not let this opportunity pass, use it to the advantage of science teachers,” wrote one teacher.

Principals have also raised concerns over the inflated cost of the chemical. “I spent close to Sh30,000 on this reagent (Xylene), alone. A litre was trading at Sh10,000 and given that I have 300 candidates (and each candidate required 10ml of the chemical) the school had to buy 3 Litres. What is so special with this reagent!” Wondered a school principal who sought for anonymity.

Of irritating to the Science teachers is also the failure by KNEC to recognize their supportive role in administration of the exams. Whereas other Professionals who are involved in exam administration are remunerated, teachers thronging the exam centres to prepare the exams walk home empty handed. “The Biology practical is slated for this coming Friday. I will spend a cool Sh3,000 to school and back home,” complained one teacher; involved in administration of the KCSE exams.

Back to Xylene

The hazards of xylene are well documented. Breathing xylene vapors in small amounts can cause headache, dizziness, drowsiness, and nausea. With more serious exposure, xylene can cause sleepiness, stumbling, irregular heartbeat, fainting, or even death. Xylene vapors are mildly irritating to the skin, eyes, and lungs.

The nervous system, respiratory system, cardiovascular system, and kidneys are primarily affected by exposure to xylene. Effects due to exposure to Xylene include:

  • Labored Breathing
  • Impaired Pulmonary Function
  • Increased Heart Palpitation
  • Severe Chest Pain
  • Accumulation of Fluid in Lungs
  • Respiratory Depression or Arrest
  • Ventricular Arrhythmias

Symptoms of Xylene exposure include:

  • Eye Irritation
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Tremors
  • Incoordination
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Stomach Discomfort
  • Impaired Short-term Memory
  • Impaired Reaction Time
  • Alterations in Equilibrium
  • Anxiety
  • Inability to Concentrate
  • Lack of Muscle Coordination
  • Death
  • Coma

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

Leave a comment

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.

Schools eyeing 2019 KCSE candidates to register them as repeaters

Leave a comment

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).

These candidates are eligible to join diploma courses, but others may opt to repeat so as to try and achieve university entry. A total of 125,746 candidates scored mean grade of C+ and above in KCSE 2019 exams.

Schools open for 2020 first term on January 6.

Over 300,000 teachers apply for the 11,000 TSC vacancies

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, says about 300,000 teachers submitted their applications to fill the advertised 11,000 vacancies in primary and secondary schools. The new job seekers almost equal those already in the Commission payroll.

The high number of applicants must have been due to applications made by teachers in private schools who have undergone turbulent times during the Covid19 break.

The large numbers must have occasioned the delayed release of the merit lists.

“The numbers were overwhelming, There are so many people (teachers) who applied, more than we expected and we have to give every applicant a chance and go through their applications,” TSC head of public relations, Betty Wababu, told the media.

The Commission has at the same time released a new recruitment schedule after the earlier one was overtaken by events. In the new schedule, the County selection process and filling of application for employment forms by successful candidates will be done between Thursday October 8, 2020 and Wednesday October 14, 2020.

TSC has already produced the 2020/2021 recruitment guidelines with teachers who graduated earlier and those currently on internship getting an added advantage.

Merit lists have also been dispatched to Counties which will in turn release their respective interview dates and venues. Some vacancies failed to attract applicants and schools have stepped up efforts to get suitable candidates to fill them. In some other schools, only one applications were recorded meaning such applicants are at pole position to clinch the posts.

Applicants expect to be invited for interviews and should get a 7-day notice.

The Commission has set the reporting date for the new teachers to be January 4, 2021.

Moi Girls High School, Eldoret; KCSE Performance, Location, History, Fees, Contacts, Portal Login, Postal Address, KNEC Code, Photos and Admissions

Leave a comment

A top class of its kind, Moi Girls’ High School is one of the most sought after institution for admissions. Located just outside the CBD of Eldoret, Kenya, Moi Girls’ High School – Eldoret (The Highlands School, until 1978) is a top national girls’ boarding school established in 1928. It is  managed by the school’s Board of Management appointed by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kenya. It is a Christian non-denominational school.

MOI GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL BRIEF HISTORY

Moi Girls’ High School – Eldoret has a long history dating back to 1928. It was first established the as a European Primary School to cater for the children of the British and Boer settlers in the then White Highlands of Kenya. The primary school was later renamed Highlands Primary School.

In the 1930’s, the school was moved across the Sosiani river to what is now Hill School. The need for a girls’ high school for the white settlers in Eastern Africa saw the founding of the present school. It was opened in 1954 with the name New Girls’ High School, as an extension of The European Girls School (The Kenya High School). The school was later renamed The Highlands School.

Most of the school buildings were put up between 1952 and 1957. However, the oldest structures are the ones currently accommodating the Music and French departments and were constructed in the early 1930’s.
The Highlands School triumphed both in academic and sports since the 1950’s and 1960’s.

After Kenya’s attainment of independence and self rule in 1963 and 1964 respectively, the school experienced a decline in number of students because the settlers began relocating to other countries. So In 1965, the first African students were admitted to the school through the government policy of integration. New members of the Board of Governors that were appointed included the first Africans who in turn elected Hon. D. T. Arap Moi as the school board chairman. The school had him as the chairman of the board since then till 2007 when he formally retired.

In 1978, the school had its name changed from ‘The Highlands School’ to ‘Moi Girls’ High School – Eldoret’. This was done in honour of the long serving board chairman who had then risen to become the president of the Republic of Kenya that same year.

CS Magoha: Holidays to be shortened and longer class time

Leave a comment

August holiday to be shortened by two-weeks to compensate for learning time lost due to the current Covid-19 when schools reopen in June, Education Cabinet Secretary Prof Geroge Magoha now says.

While appearing before the Parliament’s education committee, earlier today, Prof. Magoha said term two half term will be shortened by four days while, the August holiday will be reduced by two weeks. This is in a bid to enable learners to recover lost time and content.

Learning will also be carried out for longer hours during normal school days.

The above is contained in a report by CS Magoha in his response to the National Assembly’s Education Committee that wanted to know the measures the ministry has put in place to mitigate effects posed by the covid-19 pandemic; on the education sector.

Also read;

The CS is in record saying this year’s national examinations will not be post-poned.

He has also restated that schools will remain closed till June 4 and that the Government will review the situation before advising the public of the next step regarding the start of second term.

The Ministry is currently providing online learning services to learners across the country via a number of digital platforms.

“The content for online learning for the national curriculum is available on the KICD website and radio lessons are available for free,” Magoha says adding that the service is available to all learners.

He however says the government is making all it can to ensure all learners have the necessary gadgets to attend to the online lessons.

The Ministry has lined up a huge budget of about Sh20 billion to be utilized once schools reopen. These estimates are contained in the Kenya Basic Education Covid-19 emergency response plan that will run for 18 months beginning June, 2020 when schools reopen. A chunk of these funds will be utilized to ensure health, safety and well-being of learners, teachers and education staff.

Teachers’ salaries should remain intact- Govt told

Leave a comment

The government has been warned against any attempts to slash teachers’ salaries. Also receiving a red alert are the owners to private schools in the country. While addressing the press during the launch of a report on mitigation measures and recommendations on reopening of learning institutions, on Wednesday, knut secretary General Wilson Sossion said teachers’ salaries shall continue to remain intact.

“Salaries of teachers must be protected. No one, whether government or private entities, should use Covid-19 to hold the salaries of teachers,” Sossion said.

This comes even as uncertainty reigns supreme on the exact dates when schools are going to be reopened. This is after all learning institutions were closed in mid-March after Kenya reported the first case of Covid 19.

Most teachers employed by the schools’ boards are yet to receive a penny for the last couple of months with the schools facing a financial crunch due to the cut in cash flow.

“The last salary I received was in the month of February. I have rent arrears and a family to feed. If this condition persists, then Am seeing a situation where I may face starvation. I have tried to reach the principal. His calls went unanswered before he switched off his phone completely,” said one high school teacher working on BOM terms and who decided to remain anonymous.

Most schools, if not all, have sent their staff on unpaid leaves since they can not meet their monthly wages’ demands. Teachers employed by TSC continue to receive their full salaries as they are on indefinite leave. Read full news here; All teachers given indefinite leave by TSC over Corona Virus Disease.

Education CS Prof George Magoha speaks after receiving the interim report from the national covid-19 education response committee. Magoha asked parents to prepare to stay home with children for much longer as schools will only re-open when Kenya has contained the COVID-19 pandemic.

Things aren’t any better for private schools, that solely depend on school fees from learners to support their operations. And with schools closed parents have been up in arms against private school administrators whom they accuse of exploitation. This is after some schools directed the parents to pay school fees in full.

RELATED NEWS

On Friday CS Magoha waded into the row between private schools and parents advising the latter to pay fees so as to support operations at the schools.

“It was your choice to take your children to the private schools let the parents negotiate with the teachers on the charges; otherwise the private school sector will collapse…If private schools collapse all those children will come to public schools, therefore parents talk to the schools and work around how you will keep the schools open and supporting the economy.” he observed.

The government has since been urged to classify teachers and other education workers as vulnerable so as to receive stipend as other vulnerable groups do; through the cash transfer programme. Education stakeholders who met Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Matiang’i this week also urged the government to offer soft loans to education institutions during the current covid-19 pandemic period.

With schools’ reopening not expected any time soon, teachers on BOM terms and their counterparts in private schools should brace for more tough times ahead; unless the government chips in.
