Latest TSC News: Commission gives details on T-Pay, Training of teachers on CBC and relationship with teacher unions

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has moved to set the record straight concerning its relationship with teachers’ unions. In what is seen as a direct response to the Kenya National Union of Teachers’, KNUT, aasertion that the TSC wants to cripple its operations, TSC now says it has no powers to deregister any trade union.

Here is the presser from the TSC boss, Dr. Nancy Njeri Macharia;

‘STATEMENT ON TEACHERS SERVICE COMMISSION’S RELATIONSHIP WITH TEACHERS’UNIONS

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) wishes to set the record straight in regard to its relationship with the Teachers’ Unions and state as follow:

TSC as a Corporate Entity

As a corporate entity and as provided under the law. TSC executes its mandate through the Board led by the Commission Chairperson, Dr Lydia Nzomo. The Commission is supported by a Secretariat headed by the Secretary/Chief Executive Officer who is charged with the duty of implementing Board decisions.

As a public institution, the Commission remains committed to supporting the Government in the realization of its development agenda through the provision of quality education. Over the last two years, the Commission has recruited an additional 18,700 teachers to support the policy of 100 percent transition of learners to secondary schools. In addition, to several other key milestones, TSC has fully expedited the processing of pension claims and automated its payroll system, including the management of all third-party deductions.

The Commission was recently feted by the African Union (AU) for the Third Party Transaction Management System (T-PAY). This is an innovative IT platform that allows teachers to manage their third-party deductions, including union dues and financial transactions against their pay. The TSC win was under the category of Best Ethical Managed, Accountable, Transparent and Accessible organization. T-PAY has greatly improved our service delivery to teachers who can now manage all their third-party transactions at the click of a button, while preserving their right to data privacy. As a direct corollary, this has enhanced contact hours between teachers and learners, consequently improving learning outcomes.

To ensure that teachers are adequately prepared to successfully implement the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC). TSC has trained a total of 159,810 teachers during this year. (some 91,620 in April and 68.490 in August). A further 68.490 are scheduled to be trained in December, bringing the total to 288,000 by the end of 2019. As we come to the close of the year, we wish to thank our teachers for their dedicated and selfless service to the nation. We assure them of our commitment to serve and support them.

Relationship with Teachers’ Unions

TSC recognizes teachers’ unions as key stakeholders in the teaching service and the critical role they play in representing teachers’ issues.
Initially, TSC had an unstructured relationship with the unions. It is not until June 2016, that TSC. under the current leadership,made a fundamental decision to sign Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAS) with teachers’unions. TSC and the recognised teachers’unions signed the first CBA, covering the period 2013-2017 in June 2016. In October, 2016, the TSC and the unions signed a second CBA covering the period July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2021, through which the Government committed Sh54billion in improved salaries and allowances for teachers.

The overall objective of the CBAs was to promoteindustrial harmony and constructive social dialogue in the teaching sector. The culture of industrial unrest that had dominated the teaching service has now been conclusively addressed, thanks to the partnership of teachers and the TSC leadership to address teachers’ issues in a structured and regulated manner. This has led to improved quality teaching for our children on whose behalf we have all been called to serve

In its engagement with the unions, TSC operates strictly within the legal provisions that guide such a relationship. Any action initiated by the Commission is done after careful thought, review, in good faith and in strict conformity with the law. We wish to clarify that under the law. TSC has no power to register or de-register a union as that is the exclusive mandate of the Registrar of Trade Unions.

Similarly, under the law, to sustain a Recognition Agreement between an employer and a union, there are certain minimum requirements that a union must meet. However, in the event a union fails to meet the statutory threshold, the employer will continue to remit all dues payable to such a union.

The Commission has continued to work with registered unions even without a recognition agreement. Further, the process leading to revocation of a Recognition Agreement is elaborate and intricate.
It starts with issuance of the notice of intention and culminates with the decision reached by the National Labour Board. Parties involved still have an opportunity for conciliation and ultimately, judicial adjudication. This process is succinctly provided for by the law. Accordingly, the narrative being advanced that the Commission intends to kill any union is not only false but also misleading

Conclusion

Finally, the Commission wishes to assure all teachers that it absolutely has no desire or interest to constrict their avenues for expression and right to union representation. Equally, the Commission will continue to work harmoniously with all registered trade unions operating within the teaching service.’

12,000 new teachers to be hired as TSC promotes 55,000

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, will be hiring 12,000 new teachers ahead of the January 2021 full reopening of schools. Under the Economic Stimulus Programme, the commission was allocated Sh2.4 billion funds to engage 12,000 interns.

According to TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia, recruiting the additional 12,000 teachers will bring to 23,574, the total number of teacher interns hired since last year.

In the current financial year, the commission received a budget of Sh2.5 billion to employ 5,000 teachers on Permanent and Pensionable terms.

In a report tabled by Dr. Macharia during a two-day consultative forum with National Assembly Education Committee this week,  TSC requires Sh17 billion to hire about 26,000 teachers to address staffing gaps in secondary schools. An additional Sh8.1 billion will be required annually to hire 12,500 teachers to plug the normal shortage. The situation is worsened by current Covid 19 pandemic and the 100 percent transition policy.

Macharia says her target to enroll 12,500 new teachers yearly has not been met due to inadequate budgetary provisions. She added that under normal staffing, the commission needed 50,504 teachers to support the existing staff establishment.

The Commission is also set to train close to 118,000 teachers next month on the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) at a cost of Sh1 billion. See details on this training here.

“The commission intends to prepare teachers for eventual re-opening of schools through training, capacity building, sensitization and induction programmes,” She added.

Teacher promotions.

TSC says about 55,000 teachers have been promoted this year. Another 3,900 are scheduled for interviews. Similarly, 460 teachers have already been interviewed and their letters are on the way.

The Legislators wants the Commission to come up with a clear policy in promoting teachers in order to avoid situations where most stagnate in same job grades for long. But, Macharia was quick to point out that budgetary constraints were to blame.

“The criteria used in promotion of teachers include the availability of budget/funds; the existence of vacancies in the authorised establishment; merit and ability as reflected in the teacher’s work performance; academic and professional qualification among others,” she explained.

Dr. Macharia, sought the committee’s indulgence in finding a lasting solution to the challenges faced by the commission, among them; the need to develop a policy framework to guide the employment and promotion of new and older teachers.

TPAD 2 Lesson attendance; How to input the data into the system

Leave a comment

Lesson attendance records for all teachers must be updated regularly on the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, TPAD 2 system (http://tpad2.tsc.go.ke/). It is the responsibility of the Deputy Head of the institution to keep track of the lesson attendance records.

Importance of the lesson attendance by Teachers

The Code of Conduct and ethics section 12 (2) provides that a teacher shall observe official working hours, be punctual and meet deadlines.

The Lesson attendance records form part of the evidence for the part B of the appraisal standards; Teacher Conduct and Professionalism which measures a teacher’s attributes,
behaviour, performance and adherence to the set regulations governing the teaching
profession.

Lesson attendance will simply show if a teacher is adhering to the set time table and that he attends all lessons allocated therein and also observe punctuality.

The lesson attendance is a summary of the updated and analysed Teacher Lesson Attendance Register that is captured by the class representative showing what time a teacher came to class and the time he left.

The Lesson attendance register is submitted to the Deputy Headteacher at the end of each day.

The deputy is required to undertake lesson attendance analysis for each teacher in every subject weekly.

TSC tells teachers to update their AON medical cover details before this date

Leave a comment

Teachers employed by TSC get a medical cover from AON. The cover is for both inpatient, outpatient and other medical needs. To benefit from the cover, a teacher is supposed to update his/ her details on the AON portal.

For your dependants to also benefit from the cover their details must also be updated on the portal. It is notable that some teachers are yet to update details of their dependants. This has forced TSC to send a communique to the affected teachers.

“The TSC medical scheme requires you submit supporting documents for your dependants,” reads the TSC message in part.

according to the message the teachers have up to the 15th of June this year to ensure that the details are up to date.

You can now easily and conveniently update your dependants’ details on the AON portal by following these simple steps:

Documents that should be uploaded include: Adoption document (for any adopted child), Birth Certificate/ Birth Notification for all registered children) and the change of Dependant document.

Also to be uploaded is a copy of your National Identity Card, Proof of Disability and Proof of school (A school ID is required). Please note that not all documents are required for everyone. Just upload documents that are appropriate in your case.

To upload the documents to the AON- Minet portal, use this simplified procedure;
  • First of all you will have to Scan the documents to be uploaded. Store these documents in a location that you can easily remember; either in your phone or computer.

Interns skip TSC interviews as schools rush against time to fill vacancies; Details

Leave a comment
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.

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has released a list of teachers selected to implement the school-based teacher support system (SBTSS); under the the Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project (SEQIP). The Government of Kenya received financing from the World Bank towards the cost of the Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project and intends to apply part of the Proceeds under the contract to recruitment of facilitators, subject experts and education technologists.

The list features about 570 teachers in 30 counties.  The selected facilitators will train targeted teachers of Science, Mathematics and English in grades 7 and 8 and Form 1 to 4. The Education specialists will support peer learning using ICT while, the subject experts will establish panels that will be responsible for reviewing and developing course content.

TSC is implementing part of the component 1 of the Secondary Education Quality Improvement Project (SEQIP) on ‘improving the quality of teaching in targeted areas”. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve student learning in secondary education and transition from primary to secondary in targeted areas. The recruited officers will thus enable the Commission carry out this task. The teachers were selected from a pool of teachers who submitted their applications in April, 2019.

Hardship Areas List; TSC scraps off some areas from the list

Leave a comment
The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has reviewed the list of areas designated as hardship. According to the Commission, payment of hardship allowance will no longer be paid to the staff in the scrapped areas.

All Sub-counties in Nyandarua County have now been scrapped off the list of hardship areas. Also affected are Kigumo, Murang’a, Kandara and Nyahururu Sub- Counties.

New list of TSC designated hardship areas.

TSC has designated various areas as hardship. The areas considered as hardship include those that are prone to terrorism, famine and aridity. As of 2012, TSC had about 38 areas approved as hardship.

Currently, teachers teaching in schools located in some parts of the following counties receive monthly hardship allowances.

S/NO. AREA/ COUNTY
1 Garissa County
2 Isiolo County
3 Kilifi County
4 Kwale County
5 Lamu County
6 Mandera County
7 Marsabit County
8 Narok County
9 Samburu County
10 Taita Taveta County
11 Tana River County
12 Turkana
13 Wajir County
14 West Pokot County

 

HARDSHIP ALLOWANCE

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, pays extra allowances (hardship allowances) to teachers working in areas classified as hardship. While classifying an area to be a hardship area, the locality must meet any of these conditions:

  • Lack of or unavailability or inaccessibility to food,
  • Inadequate transport and communication network,
  • Limited basic social services and amenities,
  • Persistent harsh climatic conditions like flooding, landslides and drought,
  • Insecurity and high possibility of security threats.

Hardship allowance is therefore paid in an effort to compensate for the cost of living for teachers working in areas designated as hardship. Like stated above, teachers working in hardship areas face a myriad of challenges; from lack of water, flooding to hostile living conditions characterized by constant spates of attacks.

Hardship allowances

In December, 2014, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, reviewed hardship allowance to be paid at a flat rate for all equivalent grades/ job groups. The Commission effectively abolished the pegging of the hardship allowance as a percentage of basic pay.

The table below summarizes the monthly hardship allowance rates that are paid to teachers working in hardship areas; per job group:

All the 3,094 teachers transferred in December, 2018, have reported to their new stations and process is irrevocable- TSC (presser)

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has insisted that calls to revoke the recent transfers are futile as the transferred head teachers and principals have reported to their new stations. This comes even as the Kenya National union of Teachers, KNUT, advised the transferred heads not to report to their new stations. In a press statement released to the media, today, the Commission said the transfers are irrevocable. But, KNUT insists its strike is on and it kicks off tomorrow, 2nd January 2019, ahead of official school re-opening date; 3rd January, 2019.

Here is the press statement by TSC:

“CONCLUSION OF HANDING/ TAKING OVER BY PRINCIPALS AND HEAD TEACHERS

The attention of the Teachers Service Commission is drawn to news reports in both the print and electronic media on the transfer and reporting of and deployment of 3094 heads of institution. A proposal by some parties on the possibility of revocation of and/ or suspension of the transfers has, unfortunately, caused confusion and anxiety among teachers, heads of institution and stake holders. This is at a time when the teachers, heads, parents and learners are preparing for the opening of schools on 3rd January 2019.

It has, therefore, become inevitable for the Commission to clarify that a significant number of the transfers and deployments were necessitated by the need to fill vacant positions following the retirement of some heads of institutions in the last three months. This has resulted in the elevation of some deputy heads to headship, which is necessary for their career growth. Further, some of the transfers were initiated by heads of institutions who had applied to be moved new stations for different professional and personal reasons.

A reversal of the transfers would affect their productivity and performance. In some cases, the Commission had acted to strengthen management of some learning institutions following recommendations from standards and assessment reports. In other schools, principals and head teachers had served in the same institution for a long period and needed to be exposed to different working environment and also tap into their vast experience. This is line with policy.

In view of the foregoing, the Commission would like to advise that all the heads of institutions who were either deployed or transferred have handed over and/ or taken over as appropriate. They have also signed the necessary documentation including resource accountability instruments. In this regard, they will be available in their new stations to receive learners on 3rd January 2019 for the commencement of first term learning programmes.”

Attention shifts to KNUT, tomorrow, to see if the strike materializes since the teachers’ employer, TSC, has already threatened to ‘sack’ any teacher who will participate in the strike; and replace them immediately.
