TOTAL SHUT DOWN.

The Commission has been running interviews for various promotional vacancies; over the past few weeks.

This latest directive comes after the President ordered for immediate closure of all learning institutions in order to curb further spread of the disease.

It is not only TSC operations that will be paralyzed. Most organizations have been forced to shut down operations as they wait and see what happens next.

“We have suspended learning in all our education institutions with immediate effect. Consequently, and to facilitate a phased approach, primary and secondary day schools are to suspend operations from tomorrow,” said President Kenyatta on Sunday evening in his address to the Nation.

“For those in boarding schools, the school administration is to ensure that students are home by Wednesday, 18th March 2020 while Universities and Tertiary Institutions are to close by Friday, 20th March 2020,” added the head of state.

The President at the same time urged government offices, businesses and companies to allow employees to work from home, with the exception of employees working in critical or essential services.

The President exuded confidence that the Corona Pandemic will be defeated in due course. “This pandemic will test us, as it is testing all countries in every corner of the world, but I do not believe it will defeat us.  If we pull together, and everybody does their part, we shall overcome its worst impacts,” an optimistic Uhuru said.

Focus on the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, as three Commissioners exit

Leave a comment

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, will be forced to operate with six Commissioners after the contract of three of its nine Commissioners expired this year; forcing them to exit. First to exit was Commission Vice Chair Cleopas Tirop whose term expired in May this year. Mr Tirop who was appointed in April 2013 exited after serving his six year-non-renewable term. Two other commissioners – Dr Salome Gichura and Saada Abdi Kontoma – left the Commission, this month; August, 2019.

“We will always remember the three commissioners for spearheading TSC innovations and re-engineering of service delivery,” said Dr Lydia Nzomo, TSC chairperson; at a luncheon hosted in honor of the retired commissioners |(Dr Salome Gichura, Cleopas Tirop and Saadia Kontoma) at Intercontinental Hotel Nairobi, early this month.

There is no cause for alarm, though, because for the commissioners to conduct business, a quorum of three out of a maximum nine Commissioners is required. The Commissioners exit at a time when there is a frosty relationship between the Commission and the Kenya National Union of Teachers, knut.

The commissioners are in charge of appointing and appraising school heads or confirming those working in acting capacity, promoting teachers, hearing and determining disciplinary cases. They also approve budgets and formulate policies.

Under Article 237(2) of the Constitution, the Commission is mandated to perform the following functions:
1. Register trained teachers,
2. Recruit and employ registered teachers,
3. Assign teachers employed by the Commission for service in any public school or institution,
4. Promote and transfer teachers,
5. Exercise disciplinary control over teachers,
6. Terminate the employment of teachers,
7. Review the standards of education and training of persons entering the teaching service,
8. Review the demand for and supply of teachers and
9. Advise the national government on matters relating to the teaching profession

President Uhuru Kenyatta will now be expected to constitute a selection panel to recruit new commissioners. A person shall be qualified for appointment as a member if such a person holds a degree from a university recognized in Kenya, and has knowledge and experience of at least 10 years in matters relating to education, governance, management and law.

The Commission is currently chaired by Dr Lydia Nzomo who took her oath of office on 9th December 2014, marking the beginning of her six years term as the Chairperson of TSC as a Constitutional Commission.

The Commission shall now remain with 6 Commissioners. The five other Commissioners (apart from Dr Lydia Nzomo) are Barrack Said Twahir, Kinoti Imanyara, Tache Bonsa Gollo, Beatrice Marembo Adu and Albert Fred Ekirapa. The five were appointed members of the Teachers Service Commission on 20th March 2015.

TEACHERS ROOTING FOR SLOTS AT THE COMMISSION’S BOARD

Teachers through their unions have asked the Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua to ensure they get seats on the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) board. Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) are seeking to be allocated slots as the terms of the current Commissioners come to an end.

“Teachers union should be allowed to nominate at least two commissioners to ensure that trade movement maximizes interaction with TSC for the harmonious negotiation of terms,” read in part, a memo by knut Secretary General Hon Wilson Sossion to Mr Kinyua; dated 15th July, 2019.

It remains to be seen if indeed the teachers will get slots at the Commission Board.

Schools reopening coming soon as TSC gives reopening instructions to Heads and Principals

Leave a comment

Preparations for schools’ reopening are in top gear if the current circular by the Teachers Service Commission, TSC, is anything to go by. The teachers’ employer has asked school Heads and Principals to report to schools and lay ground for reopening.

“Monitoring on preparedness of school for reopening due to covid 19 pandemic is ongoing,” reads a circular by TSC to all principals and head teachers.

“All Principals and Head teachers are expected to be present in their institutions and work closely with BOMs (Boards of Management) in the establishment of all protocols required for reopening of schools,” adds the Commission in the circular dated September 7, 2020.

Schools will be required to ensure that guidelines given by the Ministry of Education to control spread of corona virus disease are adhered to. See the guidelines here; Reopening of schools- Education Ministry releases final reopening process.

The schools will be expected to form school reopening preparedness committees with immediate effect. Such committees will in turn convene urgent meetings to plan for school reopening. This will be done in collaboration with immediate school neighbors and other stake holders.

Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha has given strong indications that schools may reopen in November. But, this will only happen if the infection curve continues to drop or flatten out. In his plan, that is yet to be made public, schools may have a phased reopening; by allowing form fours and class eight learners to reopen first.

A meeting of all stake holders, to chat the way forward, is scheduled for September 14, 2020.

SOME TVETs ARE READY FOR REOPENING

According to the CS, only three Technical and Vocational Colleges (Eldoret, Nyeri Polytechnic and Rift Valley Institute) were ready for reopening by close of last week.

An agitated Magoha blamed other institutions for exhibiting lukewarm preparations.

“About 50 per cent of the institutions are on a trajectory towards reopening. What has annoyed me is that this is the sixth week, yet we have to keep on saying the same things over and over. Once we are ready we will allow students to sit their exams,”the CS told the media last week.

Education CS Prof. George Magoha tours Meru and Nyeri county to inspect National Polytechnics in readiness to reopening the Institutions amid Covid-19 Pandemic.The CS is pleased with many institutions across the country for their efforts prepare for reopening of the institutions.

FINAL YEAR MEDICAL STUDENTS ALLOWED BACK TO CLASS

Magoha has at the same time allowed final year medical students to resume physical classes. Via a circular sent to the nine universities that offer training in medicine, the CS more medical personnel were required to tackle the covid 19 pandemic and that this can be achieved by having the students graduating.

“In light of the Covid-19 situation which has precipitated an urgent need to train and assess medical students to support the dearth inadequate healthcare personnel to fight the pandemic, consideration has been given to the request for face-to-face learning and assessment of medical students. This is further informed by a physical inspection of facilities to ascertain the level of preparedness for the resumption of face-to-face learning.” Read the Circular, in part, by CS Magoha.

The circular goes on to instruct universities on what to do in case of an outbreak of covid 19 occurs.

“The University must manage any suspected Covid-19 cases affecting their students in their isolation and quarantine facilities awaiting results. The decision of home-based care or hospital management must be in accordance with Ministry of Health guidelines and protocols,” adds the circular that was sent to the Universities on Monday.

The move by CS Magoha has stirred a storm. On Tuesday September 8, 2020, Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua criticized the decision by Education CS George Magoha to only reopen medical schools for face to face learning.

“If medical students can be recalled then all students can be recalled!” she demanded.
