TSC tells schools’ heads to be wary of con men soliciting bribes to block their delocalization

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service commission, TSC, has warned schools’ heads not to fall to con-men who are posing as the Commission’s officials so as to influence their delocalization. TSC rolled out the delocalization exercise for schools’ administrators targeting those who have stayed for over nine years in the same station. Also targeted in the delocalization are teachers working in their home counties.

“Some conmen and impostors have been calling  principals and head teachers claiming to be in a position to influence appointment and transfers of heads,” says the TSC’s Director of Corporate Communications, Kihumba Kamotho. The said impostors have reportedly been calling, some, heads to solicit bribes so as to ‘block’ their transfers or influence transfers to ‘preferred’ locations. The teachers’ employer moved over 5,000 school heads and their deputies in the first phase of the delocalization programme that occurred in December, 2017. During the exercise 31 principals of National schools and 154 teachers in extra county schools were moved to new stations.

The third phase was expected to be executed this month, December- 2018, but the Commission is yet to dispatch the delocalization letters. Unconfirmed reports indicate,though, that a total of about 3,000 teachers may be moved during the third phase of the exercise. This is despite the protests from the Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT, leadership who say the exercise is inhuman and leads to instabilities in families of the affected teachers. The President, H.E Uhuru Kenyatta, in August this year ordered the review of the ongoing teacher transfer programme so that families are not affected negatively by the transfers of teachers. “The delocalization programme has created some unforeseen challenges that have in some instances affected some teachers’ families. We are reviewing the policy guidelines to ensure that this policy is not implemented to the detriment of families,” the president had said. But, the Commission seems to be maintaining its hard-line stand claiming delocalization is ingrained in the 2016-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, signed by the teachers’ unions on behalf of teachers.

And now, Kihumba is advising head teachers to only rely on information from the commission’s agents; County and Sub- county Directors. “All heads of institutions are advised that communication with heads of all institutions and teachers is, as a matter of procedure, done through County and Sub- County Directors,” Kihumba said in a presser released yesterday. “The conmen should be ignored and numbers used (by them) to call forwarded to the police,” adds Kihumba. He further advises the heads to contact TSC’s Director (Staffing) on 0202892193 or 0202892194 for assistance and/ or clarifications.

TSC issues new TPAD 2 guidelines for 2021

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has now issued fresh guidelines on how the Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD 2) for term 2 and 3 should be carried out. According to the latest memo from the Commission, the TPAD system will be opened for term 3 for grade 4, class 8 and form 4 teachers and term 2 for teachers of the grade 1,2,3, class 5,6,7 and form 1, 2 and 3 will be opened from 11th January 2021 to 26th March 2021.

TSC has at the same time indicated that the TPAD 2 portal was opened for term 2 2020 on  12th October 2020 and closed on 31st December. This was after schools were opened and all teachers required to report to their work stations vide Circular No. 12/2020.  See also: TSC closes Term 2 TPAD; Here is  how you can print your report.

When the TPAD 2 portal is open, teachers are able to perform the following tasks:

  1. Create a TPAD 2 Account and Log in
  2. Schedule an Appraisal Rating Meeting online
  3. Undertake Lesson Observation
  4. Capture learner progress records
  5. Fill weekly lesson attendance data
  6. Reach an agreement on Appraisee and Appraiser marks plus countersigning
  7. Create a lesson observation request 

ACTIVITIES TO BE EXECUTED IN THE NEW TPAD 2 FOR TERM 2 AND 3

To comply fully with the TPAD filing requirements, the Commission directs the field officers as follows:

  • All teachers create appraisal depending on the classes they teach i.e. Teachers teaching grade 4, class 8 and form 4 should create appraisal for term 3 whereas the teachers teaching the other classes should create for term 2. This only applies for primary and secondary schools.
  • Submit a list of schools missing from the TPAD system in your respective Counties.
  • Submit list of schools yet to be provided with IPPD codes in your respective counties.
  • That all teachers are mapped in their respective schools, zones, sub counties and counties respectively.
  • Submit a list of teachers yet to appear on TPAD online system (kindly provide their TSC numbers and work stations).
  • Inform all heads of institution that the Performance Contract (PC) for heads of institution and the PC calendar have been uploaded in the TPAD online system. All heads of institution should start filling their Performance Contract by developing the operational work plan by the 11th January 2021.
  • Generate appraisal reports from the TPAD online system. Where there are discrepancies of the total number of appraisals exceeding the total number of teachers, establish the root cause and take necessary action.

TSC says teachers are not getting adequate support from the field officers.

It has also come to the attention of the Commission that teachers are not getting adequate support in navigating the TPAD online system from field officers. This is due to the several enquiries being raised through different communication channels of the Commission. This has been noted even after County Directors, County ICT officers and other field officers
have been assigned rights in the TPAD online system. You are required to ensure that teachers are supported as part of effective service delivery.” Says Dr. Mugwuku Menduni; the TSC Director of Quality Assurance and Standards

New Teachers’ union, Kusnet, signs agreement with TSC

Leave a comment

The Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, KUPPET, and the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) have been dealt a major blow that will see their membership reduce drastically. This is after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) signed a recognition agreement with a new outfit; the Kenya Union of Special Needs Education Teachers (Kusnet).

An estimated 4,000 tutors with special needs, some of whom were in Kuppet and Knut have since decamped to Kusnet. But, membership to the new union will be limited to teachers with special needs only.

“The Commission hereby affords full recognition of the union as the body representing interests of special needs education teachers in the employment of the Commission and who are paid up members of the Union and teachers with special needs in the employment of the Commission and who are paid up members of the union,” read the recognition agreement between TSC and Kusnet.

Officials of the Kenya Union of Special Needs Teachers (KUSNET) pose for a photo with TSC Board and Management after signing a recognition agreement with the Commission in Naivasha on 03/03/2021. Kusnet will now tussle for membership with both Kuppet and Knut.

Kusnet will henceforth exclusively engage with TSC on matters pertaining to the welfare of special needs education teachers and teachers with special needs.

“All negotiations concerning terms and conditions of service in respect of members of the Union shall be carried out between the commission and the Union, provided that all negotiations concerning remuneration shall be based on mandatory and binding advisory of Salaries and Remuneration Commission,” the agreement reads further.

The recognition agreement also stated that negotiations between the employer and the Union will be conducted in a free and conducive environment devoid of threats to or actual industrial action or lock out and in a proper, structured, cordial and professional manner.

“Parties hereby agree to negotiate in good faith and solve all disputes amicably with a view to uphold and promote the best interest of learners. To this end, parties agree that there shall be no threats or actual threat to lock out or industrial action during the negotiations,” says the recognition agreement.

ADMINISTRATORS SIDELINED

In what will be seen as a blow to administrators, the agreement provides that parties agreed that a teacher employed by the commission and who is in administrative position will not hold an elective position in the union. Where a teacher in the administrative cadre is elected as a union official, the teacher shall relinquish the administrative post forthwith.

Administrators continue to hold union posts in both Knut and Kuppet structures; a scenario that is likely to change, if the current developments are anything to go by. For instance, currently an administrator is only expected to relinquish his/ her responsibility once elected as the Branch Executive Secretary.

Membership to the new outfit will, though, be voluntary

“The union undertakes that no teacher will be compelled to become a member of the Union and the Commission undertakes that no teacher will be penalised on account of his/ her membership to the union or non- membership thereof,” adds the agreement.

Knut has been the biggest loser after seeing its membership dwindle drastically in the last two years; with Kuppet reaping big.

Kenya Union of Special Need Education Teachers KUSNET is a Union whose idea was hatched by our General Secretary James Torome before the year 2011.
