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.

Teachers with good results to get recognition from TSC

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is set to reward teachers with outstanding performance. The Commission has now moved to have these tutors recognized. Teachers who have posted exemplary results in both academics and Co- curricular activities will have something to smile about after this latest move.

“In the past, some teachers have achieved global, national and local recognition as a result of their outstanding performance in the various aspects of the teaching profession. Teachers Image Magazine would document these achievements/ recognition in the next issue and subsequent ones,” says the teachers’ employer.

Teacher Peter Tabichi; winner of the 2019 Global Teacher Prize

This latest move comes in the wake of successes of various teachers in the global scene. Teacher Peter Tabichi won the 2019 Global Teacher Prize. This was followed by Mr. Eric Ademba’s triumph after winning the 2019 edition of the African Union Continental Teacher Award.

The Commission says recognizing the teachers per county will not only motivate the teachers but also serve to encourage others aspire for professional excellence.

Mr. Eric Ademba, Centre, winner of the 2019 edition of the African Union Continental Teacher Award.

“This is, therefore, to request you to send details of teachers in your County who have distinguished themselves in different aspects of the profession. These aspects may include, but not limited to; exemplary performance in national examinations, sports, theatre, institutional management, innovation, research, community service, advocacy among others,” reads a circular from TSC to all County Directors.

It is a welcome move for thousands of teachers whose efforts have gone unnoticed for long.

The Head of Institution is required to induct the panel members on the relevant sections of the Act before the commencement of the selection exercise.

All applicants must be registered teachers as per Section 23(1) of the Teachers Service Commission Act Cap 212. Those without Registration Certificates must attach a printout showing verified status as evidence of application for registration. However, applicants who fail to meet registration requirements will not qualify to be recruited.

Applicants who apply for confirmation of results from KNEC should give the address of the County Director where they have submitted their applications.

List of Bachelor of Science and Arts Degree Teaching Courses banned by TSC

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has banned over 20 Bachelor of Science and Arts Degree Teaching Courses. Graduates who undertook training in the courses and were hoping to be registered by TSC will now have to look for employment opportunities elsewhere.

The most affected are graduates who trained in subjects not offered in the current Curriculum. “Applicants for registration whose training is in subjects that are currently NOT in the curriculum do not qualify irrespective of having undertaken a Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) and/ or Enhancement.” Says the Commission via the current Registration Guidelines for new teachers.

“Those who have undertaken a PGDE with these courses are NOT eligible for registration as teachers. These courses do not provide sufficient subject content and therefore the mastery of the content in two teaching subjects is not adequate as required.” Adds the guidelines.

TSC however clarifies that ‘Bachelor of Science or Arts Degree holders with a post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) and two teaching subjects qualify for registration’.

This latest communication will be a thorn in the flesh for many graduates who had invested resources in their undergraduate and even post graduate studies.

List of Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Arts Courses Banned by TSC.

Effectively, graduates with training in the following areas will no longer be registered and employed by TSC;

S/N Training Area/ Course
1 Natural resources
2 Meteorology
3 Forestry
4 Animal husbandry
5 Horticulture
6 Farm machinery
7 Fisheries
8 Anthropology
9 Sociology
10 Theology/Divinity

Employ should employ Interns permanently after one year and pay them well- TSC petitioned

Leave a comment

Teachers working on internship may have reason to smile if proposals tabled in parliament sail through. In the proposals the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, should pay them a monthly salary of Sh25,000 and not the current Sh15,000. They are to be upgraded to permanent and pensionable at the end of a one-year contract.

In what is seen as a strong move to address the plight of the interns, Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT, Secretary General Wilson Sossion has petitioned the TSC to be forced to review their terms.

“The Government of Kenya has in recent past adopted a systematic approach of utilizing interns across its ministries, state corporations and agencies in view of the myriad of benefits that emanate from a robust internship programme that includes the opportunity to obtain fresh perspectives as well as ability to evaluate emerging talent and professions in the economy. However, institutions such as the Teachers Service Commission have now introduced measures that include deduction of Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loans as well as union deductions from the remuneration received by these interns.” Reads the petition by Hon. Sossion, in part.

Sossion says the Government’s internship programme is an important undertaking that needs to be continuously safeguarded and wonders why the Teachers Service Commission is paying its interns Ksh 15,000 (for secondary school interns) despite the official Government pay rate for interns being set at Ksh 25,000 per month.

Indeed, the interns receive far much lower salaries since their pay is subjected to statutory and other deductions. They remit Pay as You Earn (PAYE) and National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) among other deductions. To make matters worse for this group of teachers, the government does not offer them any extra allowances.

Sossion in his petition to the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education also wonders why the interns’ terms not upgraded to permanent and pensionable at the end of a one-year contract.

Related; TSC TPAD 2 portal; http://tpad2.tsc.go.ke/

Other pertinent issues raised by the KNUT boss are;

  • “What is the rationale for deducting HELB loans from interns yet they are engaged for only short durations?”
  • Why does the TSC compel interns to remit union deductions without consent contrary to Article 41 of the Constitution?”
  • “Why does TSC automate deductions to the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) only and not to any other union on the interns’ payroll?”

The Committee will provide a detailed response in due course and be sure to read it here.

Meanwhile, 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.
