Education CS urges KNUT and TSC to drop hard-line stands

Leave a comment

Education Cabinet Secretary, Amb. Amina Mohammed, has urged both the Kenya National Union of Teachers, KNUT, and the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, to drop hardline stands and negotiate to solve industrial disputes in the sector. Speaking to journalists in Nairobi, today, Amina urged both parties to embrace dialogue and avoid taking hardline stands.

“There is a negotiation that is ongoing. It is constructed on a conditional dialogue. We all have to learn to have discussions in peace. We must learn to compromise,” the CS said.

While advising that in negotiations it is a give and take scenario, Amb. Amina told both parties that it was in bad faith if any one party wanted all its demands met. “No one can walk away from a negotiation table with everything they wanted; then it is not a negotiation, it is basically a dictatorship,” added Amina.

This advice is coming as both the KNUT and TSC continue pointing accusing fingers at each other over the aborted Naivasha talks. The TSC claims that the KNUT leadership came into the meeting with a list of 85 teachers whose transfers they wanted revoked immediately, by the employer.

Speking to the media on Thursday, KNUT secretary general, Hon. Wilson Sossion, warned of dire consequences if the TSC does not come up with solutions to the contentious issues, in 2 weeks’ time. Immediate stoppage of the delocalization of teachers, scrapping of the Teacher Performance contracting & evaluation and promotion of teachers upon attainment of higher qualifications are among the issues fronted by KNUT for discussion.

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.
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.

TSC asks teachers to answer to phone calls from the Commission

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has urged teachers to provide feedback on the Secondary Education Quality Improvement Programme (SEQIP). This is a programme that is run by TSC and the Ministry of Education (MOE) among other stakeholders.

SEQIP aims at improving the transition from primary to secondary school and also enhancing retention of learners in school. The School Based Teacher Support System (SBTSS) which improves teacher delivery capacity is a component of SEQIP that is run by TSC.

Now, TSC Head of Corporate Affairs Beatrice Wababu tells teachers that the phone calls are not from scammers.
“To get the feedback on SEQIP implementation, MOE has contracted a verification agency that is doing a survey on key stakeholders who include teachers through phone calls. Please cooperate with this agency by providing them with the information that they are seeking through their calls. These callers always introduce themselves adequately.” She says.

TSC Teacher discipline process; Interdiction, investigations, case and dismissal details

Leave a comment

Teacher interdiction and dismissal is real in Kenya! A number of teachers are disciplined by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for committing a number of offences that have been outlawed in the Code of Regulations for Teachers and the TSC Code of Conduct and Ethics.

Teachers who violate the provisions of the Code of Regulations for Teachers and the TSC Code of Conduct and Ethics will face disciplinary action which may include warning or interdiction.

TSC Teacher Disciplinary Process

  1. A Head of institution may initially issue a verbal warning or caution the teacher in writing on minor breaches.
  2. In case of persistent misbehaviour, the teacher may be required to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against him/her.
  3. From the teacher’s response, the head of institution may serve the teacher with a warning or present the case before the agent.

The agent shall;

  1. Investigate and assemble relevant evidence.
  2. Invite the accused teacher in writing to defend himself/herself against specified allegation.
  3. Call witnesses to give evidence in the presence of the accused teacher.
  4. Allow the teacher to cross-examine each witness.
  5. In case of desertion where teacher’s whereabouts is unknown, the agent will interdict without any delay.

After the preliminary hearing the agent may reach any of the following decisions;

  1. No case to answer.
  2. Warn the teacher administratively.
  3. Interdict the teacher.

NB: In some cases TSC or agent can interdict a teacher without inviting him/her for preliminary hearing.

An interdicted teacher should write a defense statement within 21 days from the date of interdiction and provide contact address. A case will normally be heard within three months after interdiction. In case of delay the teacher is advised to make enquiries.

  2. Warn the teacher.
  3. Suspend the teacher from duty.
  4. Dismiss the teacher from service.
  5. Retire the teacher in the public interest.
  6. Dismiss and remove from the register of teachers.

Where a teacher has been suspended from duty, he/she will be posted 14 days before the expiry of the suspension.

A teacher will be posted immediately in cases of revocation and warning. A teacher who does not receive communication within 28 days after hearing should make enquiries to the Commission Headquarters in person.

TSC now goes paperless, unveils new communication online platform for teachers

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has moved to provide most of its services via its online platform. Teachers seeking transfers will now file their applications online as opposed to the manual application process. Other services that have been fully made available online are applications for promotions and new teacher registration.

These latest developments come at a time when TSC has completed digitizing teachers’ documents.

In its 2019-2023 Strategic Plan, the Commission identified Reforms and Innovation in the provision of teaching services as its strategic focus area aimed at improving service delivery to its employees and stakeholders. In this regard, the Commission has successfully migrated services related to recruitment and promotions of teachers to an online system.

Accordingly, there will be no manual applications for recruitment and promotion of teachers with effect from 1 st March, 2021.

Consequently, applications for transfer shall be accessed through the Commission’s website at www.tsc.go.ke as per the attached schedule while the mode and manner of application for both recruitment and promotion will be communicated in the adverts whenever there is a vacancy.

Further, the Commission has introduced an e-platform for official emails, virtual meetings and remote learning. The platform targets all teachers employed by the Commission and those undergoing internship programmes.

The new platform will be used in the following instances: –

  • For official communication between the Commission and teachers including transmission of official letters, Circulars, Pay-slips and responses to teachers’ inquiries among others.
  • To promote the usage of e-learning at no cost.
  • To support and promote the usage of virtual meetings. Institutions can therefore use the platform to hold virtual meetings while teachers will be able to create peer groups to carry out learning activities including mentoring and coaching.

See also; TSC online portal; https://teachersonline.tsc.go.ke/

Implementation Process

All Heads of Institutions and teachers including those on internship are required to activate their email accounts provided on the platform and use it for all communications to the Commission. The official email will take the format of the teacher’s name, the last two digits of the TSC number @mwalimu.tsc.go.ke.

The detailed procedure on how to activate the system can be accessed through the Commission’s website.

The Commission’s ICT field officers will be available to assist in the activation of the accounts. Heads of Institutions may use the ICT champions to sensitize teachers in their institutions and provide any needed technical support.

In addition to an official personal account, heads of institutions are to open a separate head-of-institution email. This address will be available to subsequent heads of institutions for continuity.

Heads of institutions shall update the teachers official email address and registered personal mobile phone number in the Teacher Management Information System (TMIS) within 30 days after all teachers in the institution have activated their emails.

Further, users may seek help on activation of the email, virtual meetings and remote learning through the following address; [email protected]. All other normal queries and/or issues, to be sent to [email protected].

Effective Date

The exercise of activating the emails takes effect from 15th February, 2021 and will close on 30th April, 2021. Upon the expiry of the registration window, all emails outside the e-platform shall not be acted upon.

TSC in a move to ensure all lessons are attended by teachers

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has moved to ensure teachers are in school most times. The Commission has instituted a raft of measures to curb absenteeism among the over 300,000 teachers on its payroll.

“In order to optimally utilize the teaching resources institution and ensure delivery of quality teaching services, the commission reiterate the need for all teachers and Head of institutions to be available in schools at all times to undertake the assigned teaching and administrative duties. In this regard you are directed to ensure absence from school is minimized at all costs,” the Commission says in a circular to school Heads and Curriculum Support officers.

AUSTERE CONDITIONS

The Commission has been in logger heads with the Ministry of Education after canceling most functions organized by the latter and involving teachers. To be absent from school, teachers will now have to seek for written permission.

“A written permission should be granted through the Headteacher and absence and reason for the same recorded in the school logbook,” says the Commission.

Heads of primary institution are to obtain written permission from TSC subcounty director to be away from school. The School heads must also seek for permission from the Sub County Director whenever they are to use funds for meetings taking place away from their schools.

Activities that require teachers’ participation should be scheduled over the weekends and school holidays to minimize absenteeism. This also includes all the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association, KESSHA, and Kenya primary Schools Heads Association, KEPSHA, activities and conferences.

All elected SACCO, union and societies officials are required to schedule their programs during weekends and school holidays.

Activities that are not core to teaching administrative duties assigned to teachers and school administrative staff should not be carried during the programmed teaching hours.

In a move to ensure no lesson goes unattended, arrangements should be made for all classes to be attended in the absence of assigned teacher. Make up arrangements for untaught lessons should be recorded in the logbook.
