TSC to collect data of teachers not performing teaching duties due to drug abuse, medical reasons

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is in the process of profiling teachers whose medical conditions are prohibiting them from performing teaching duties, optimally. Through a circular written by Mrs. J.M Maundu, on behalf of the TSC Secretary, and dated 23 October, 2018, the TSC directs all County directors to provide data of this group of teachers. “The commission requires data on teachers who are unable to perform teaching duties due to medical reasons,” Writes Maundu.

The Commission now asks the TSC County Directors to ‘liaise with all heads of institutions to provide data on:’

  • Teachers who have been out of station (their working stations) on account of ill health for over six months.
  • Teachers unable to perform their teaching duties due to substance abuse (Drug and Alcohol abuse)
  • Teachers who have mental challenges and cannot teach.
  • Any other pending cases in the counties where the teacher has not been in station for over 3 months and is not officially on approved leave of absence or study leave.

The TSC collects this information via its, Teachers Management Information System, TMIS, found on its online portal.

Details to be submitted to the head office are: Name of the teacher, TSC Number, Current station and reason (s) for non performance of duty. The information is to be submitted by 15th November, 2018. TSC is doing this is in a bid to address staffing gaps in public schools in Kenya.

NHIF Accredited Hospitals- Coast Region

Leave a comment

Accredited Hospitals- Coast Region

This comprehensive in-patient health cover has been introduced for NHIF contributors and their dependants. The actualization of this package is a culmination of continued reforms at NHIF. Such reforms include efficiency, arising from decentralization of NHIF services and continued partnership with health providers on enhanced quality services to all members. To enhance these benefits, NHIF has contracted hospitals under three Categories; A, B & C, to provide this in-patient medical cover and partial cover for surgical cases in some of these hospitals. Our members are at liberty to attend hospitals under any category.
Under Category A (government hospitals), members would be able to enjoy full and comprehensive cover for maternity and medical diseases including surgery. In short, they will not need to pay for anything on admission provided they are fully paid up members of NHIF. Members admitted under contract Category B (private and mission) hospitals will enjoy full and comprehensive cover but where surgery is required, the contributor may be required to co-pay.
Those visiting facilities contracted under Category C (private) will continue with the current system where NHIF pays specified daily benefits under the current arrangements. NHIF will continue to negotiate with other health providers not appearing in the list below to determine which category of contract they will sign. Members will be informed of additional hospitals as and when they sign the contracts.
Below is a list of Hospitals, Number of Beds and Contracts covered by NHIF in the Coast Region.

Over 3,690 Teachers to miss AON Medical Services after eixting TSC service

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has directed the AON Medical Insurance provider to remove 3,690 teacher from its medical insurance scheme. This comes after the tutors transferred their services from the TSC to the Public Service Commission, under the Ministry of Education.

Related Content:

This is contained in a circular dated 18th October, 2018, and written by Mrs. J.M Maundu (For the TSC Chief Executive Officer) to the General Manager of AON Insurance Brokers Limited.

“Following a directive on management Teachers/Lectures serving at technical institutions Teachers Service Commission released 3690 employees to Ministry of Education with effect from 1st October, 2018,” says Mrs. Maundu in the circular.

TSC now says the said tutors are no longer entitled to AON medical cover since they are not TSC employees. “You are therefore directed to remove the affected members from the list of membership henceforth, as per the provided data,” Mrs. Maundu directs AON’s Mr. Edwin Kegode.

Teachers under the TSC contribute to both the AON and NHIF, National Hospital Insurance Schemes. But, the AON medical scheme has been thorny, lately, after the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers, KUPPET, vehemently protested the recent renewal of the AON contract with TSC. This has led to major differences between the two teachers’ unions;  KUPPET and the Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT.

KUPPET has threatened to call its members to a strike in January to force the TSC to cancel the contract and is currently collecting signatures from members for a petition geared towards the suspension of the medical scheme. According to KUPPET, AON does not live up to expectations of members and they blame it for providing substandard services. KNUT on its side seems to be warming up to the AON medical Insurance Scheme and it has instead wedged a war with TSC on promotions, Evaluations and Delocalization of teachers.

Excitement as the Giant Snake, Omieri, makes return to Nyanza

Leave a comment

The Preserved remains of the legendary python nicknamed Omieri were returned to Kisumu city today, thirty one years after its death hit the news headlines. Elders performed rituals before excited locals were allowed to have a glimpse of the humongous snake. Omieri was highly regarded by the Luos of Nyakach and was believed to bring rain, blessings and massive crop harvests. It died from injuries inflicted by wild fires in the hills of Nyakach.

The debate on Omieri once made a former MP for Nyakach, Ojwang’ Kombudo lose his tempter in Parliament as he demanded to know the whereabouts of its body that had been flown to Nairobi for preservation.

The ‘sacred’ snake was brought to Kisumu for viewing during the cultural festival organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) bringing together 47 counties. The remains of the legendary snake are kept in a cubic glass tank filled with industrial methylated alcohol. 

Ambassador Amina Mohammed, the CS for Education, who was the chief guest at the ceremony said that the Cultural celebrations provide a platform for cultural exchanges, dissemination of knowledge and social practices. “Many thanks to the County Government of Kisumu, UNESCO, KNATCOM and the people of Kisumu for making this day a success. May this mark the beginning of fruitful and educative engagements in future”. Amina said, at the gala in Kisumu today. Ambassador Amina was representing H.E the president, Uhuru Kenyatta, at the third Kenya National Commission for UNESCO (KNATCOM) National Cultural celebrations. The theme for this year’s celebrations is, “Enhancing National Cohesion, Identity and Pride”.
