The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has responded to a case the case of a female teacher whose story came to the limelight on Monday. The teacher was recruited by TSC but was yet to receive her posting letter. She then decided to make the long journey to the TSC headquarters in Nairobi so that her case could be solved.

Here is the communique by the TSC Head of Corporate Affairs, Beatrice Wababu;

CASE OF TEACHER LYDIA IRERI

“The attention of the Commission is drawn to some social media reports about the status of teacher Lydia Ireri’s job. Lydia was recruited as a teacher by the Commission early this year. Unfortunately, her posting letter, along with those of other teachers recruited at the same time, could not be dispatched due to the disruption caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.

The process of a new teacher reporting in a school requires the physical presence of the teacher himself or herself and the receiving head teacher. The coronavirus pandemic has made this impossible over the last five months that schools have been closed. Indeed, our headquarters and field officers have been relaying this information to teachers when they inquire.

We look forward to issuing all pending postings letters once we overcome the Coronavirus pandemic and it is safe to reopen schools. We regret that Lydia had to travel to Nairobi today.”

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has set the record straight over the case of a female teacher who was recruited in 2017 but is yet to be posted. The teacher identified as Lydia Ireri graduated from the University of Nairobi in 2015.

When an advert for a TSC teaching job was released in 2017, she applied, attended the interview and was recruited. What had seemed to be good news to her quickly escalated into agony as the long wait for her posting letter ensued. Several attempts to reach the TSC for assistance failed; leaving her dejected and frustrated.

On Monday August 3, 2020 she decided to visit the TSC headquarters in Nairobi; in the company of her child. To her shock, she was not allowed into the premises. It is at this time that her story and photographs were shared on Social Media.

Busia County Woman Member of Parliament, Hon. Florence Mutua, was first to respond and asked for further details.

TSC could then respond on Monday night. The Commission said the teacher in question was supposed to receive her posting later but the process has been derailed by the covid-19 pandemic.

“Our attention is drawn to some social media reports about the status of teacher Lydia Ireri’s job. She was recruited but has not been posted due to Covid 19 pandemic. Posting letter will be issued when schools re-open.” Said TSC via their official Twitter Page.

The Commission’s response will indeed cool the nerves of teacher Lydia and others who have been sweating over delays in receiving their posting letters.

He was shown the door by TSC in 2019 with the latter appointing Beatrice Wababu in his place.

Hezron Kihumba Kamotho was employed by TSC as a Public Relations Officer on Permanent and Pensionable terms on 2^nd June, 2002 and subsequently rose through the ranks to become the Assistant Deputy Director Public Relations.

On 10^th January 2014, he was  appointed as Head of Corporate Communications Division, a position he held till his dismissal in 2019.

On 13^th August 2019 Kihumba filed an application in the Labour and Relations Court against TSC. He petitioned the employer for refusing to adjust his terms and conditions of service accordingly; including failing to update his Job Group and not making any increments on his pay as per the Scheme of Service despite several requests from Kihumba.

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has released guidelines to teachers on how to carry out the Community-based learning program. The program expected to kick-off next month will see the over 10 million learners receive free teaching services in their villages. The learners have been at home, since March, due to the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic in the country.

WHAT TSC EXPECTS THE TEACHERS TO DO

Teachers who will be offering the services will have to register with the local education officials. It will be the responsibility of the TSC Sub-county and Curriculum Support Officers to enlist teachers within their areas of jurisdiction. Tutors will only register in areas where they live and will not have to travel to their teaching stations.

Teachers will engage learners on life skills during the daily face-to-face lessons. Training in daily chores such as farming will also be offered.

Learning activities will encompass activities like numeracy, reading and comprehension. Apart from covering the curriculum syllabus, teachers will at the same time provide guidance and counselling to learners.

Another task that will be carried out by teachers is that of testing and grading.

“The teachers should use discussion groups during learning and even grading can be done among peers,” reads the TSC guidelines; in part.

Before the programmes are rolled out, teachers will undergo orientation on learner engagement. During orientation, teachers will be trained on how to ensure safety of learners as pertains the Ministry of Health guidelines in curbing spread of the killer Covid-19 disease.

The teachers will file periodic progress reports and hand them to the Curriculum Support officers.

HOW CLASSES WILL BE CONDUCTED

According to the TSC guidelines, learners will be taught in open spaces and in community halls. The classes will have not more than 15 learners. The classes. The lessons will last for a maximum of four hours daily; from Monday to Friday.

As a mandatory requirement, the learners will have their face masks on and they must be one metre apart.

The learning programmes will be closely monitored by TSC, Ministry of education officers and those from the Interior Ministry. Chiefs and the ‘Nyumba Kumi’ officers will identify the learners and ensure they attend the programs.

Emphasis will be on utilization of modern technologies in teaching. Learners will be allowed to use their their digital devices like smart phones, tablets and laptops. Classes will also be encouraged to use radio, television and online content. Teachers will though be expected to be cognizant with the fact that not all learners have access to modern digital devices.

This new arrangement is expected to ease burden on parents with cases of teenage pregnancies having a spike during the current covid-19 closure.
