TSC list of of 30 de-registered teachers

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has announced the sacking of thirty teachers for gross misconduct. The dismissal of the tutors was announced on Monday October 12, 2020, as schools reopened after a closure of close to seven months. According to the list at our disposal, most of those sacked are male teachers.

While noting that the said teachers are yet to be formally dismissed, Wababu confirmed that there was enough evidence to warrant their dismissal.

“The teachers are in the process of being dismissed, and after the CEO (TSC Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Nancy Macharia)has approved the list, then it will be gazetted; thereby confirming their dismissal,” She explained.

She said the offences committed by the teachers included: immoral behaviour and forging of academic certificates among others; as prescribed in the Teachers Code of Conduct.

In August, TSC released a list of 40 teachers who had been de-registered for committing similar offences.

RECRUITMENT OF TEACHERS

The Commission has at the same time announced the registration of 8,500 new teachers. TSC Head of Corporate affairs, Betty Wababu, says the registered teachers are not part of the 11,000 who are being recruited; explaining that registration is different from hiring.

“Registration is different from hiring. The recruitment process is not over yet. Those are just teachers that have been registered with us. The number of teachers being recruited still stand as reported and when the process ends we are not going to to recruit more teachers because we are funded by the National Treasury to do the recruitment,” Wababu said.

TSC says over 300,000 applications were received for the advertised jobs

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.
