Teachers Who Had Paid For TPD Unsure about being Refunded Their Money Following This Latest Development
TSC News Today indicate a major shift and in the planned Teacher Professional Development training scheduled to take place this April 2022.
This is after details emerged indicating that the parliament is opposed to the planned burdensome training for all teachers owing to its high cost, time consuming and cumbersome nature.

This is a reprieve for TSC Employed teachers who have at last had someone to back them up. The Teachers Service Commission has exposed its dictatorial and insensitive nature. A few weeks ago, the TSC Boss had insensitively noted that teachers should either shape in or perish.
The above statement insinuates that the teachers can either adapt to the new changes and demands like the increased use of ICT, policy changes and the then ongoing TSC TPAD training or shape out.
The Teachers Service Commission has demonstrated some form of arrogance when it comes to matters touching on teachers welfare and training.
Advertisements
For instance, it is illegal to force teachers to undergo training and pay for it for a period of 30 years!
This means that a newly Employed TSC teacher will never have time off books!
Given the low salary paid to TSC teachers that does not obviously commensurate their indispensable and irreplaceable roles and responsibilities, teachers need extra time to scavenge for other business opportunities to help them manage their daily bills.
If TSC wants to fully engage teachers, then the Commission should pay teachers handsomely and make the teaching career more lucrative.
TPD Training Modules Aborted. What happen to teachers who had already paid?
All teachers employed by the Teachers service Commission were directed by the TSC CEO to enroll for TPD courses in the selected institutions of higher learning.
Following TSC’s move to implement the refresher courses to be done in modules, a number of Teachers had already registered ready to begin the modules in April.
Nevertheless, members of Parliament led by education committee chairperson Florence Mutua had to intervene to put the exercise to a halt until proper Public participation is carried out involving all Stakeholders.
According to the MPs, the government should fund the training instead of overburdening the already poorly paid teachers.
The move by the legislators has been received with jubilation among teachers across the country.
Reacting to the development on social media platforms, some who had already enrolled for the course took the opportunity to demand for a refund of the money they had already Paid.
Teachers were supposed to pay Ksh 6000 per year to be trained both online and in person during holidays.
The selected Institutions include mount Kenya university, Riara university, Kenyatta university and KICD.
It now remains to be seen whether the institutions will refund teachers who had expressed interest in pursuing the TPD.
In my opinion, they should just be refunded their money as the employer looks for Money to fund the exercise.

A man has shocked the world after he asked his wife for an abortion or divorce for her “carelessness.”
This incident has sparked reactions on social media platforms.
The 31-year-old says that they had agreed to never sire children before their long-term engagement.

VASECTOMY
The most interesting part of this story is the fact that the man admits that he has been postponing going for vasectomy.
He admits using condoms regularly as a means of preventing pregnancy.
Ironically, devoted wife has been on birth control since she was 14 years old!
He recently has vasectomy but his 29-year-old was already six weeks pregnant.
Advertisements
Writing on Reddit, the man said he was utterly shocked since his wife is supposed to be on birth control.
He came to find out his wife has not been taking the pills for a few months now. What even enrages him more is his wife’s desire to keep the child.
The husband found this weird since his wife vehemently opposes the idea of having children.
BETRAYAL
The bitter husband says he feels betrayed by his “traitorous” wife who knows very well that he is against kids.
He says he does not want kids to an extent that he is toying with the idea of divorcing his wife unless she gives in to an abortion.
Fuming with anger, he vowed to even divorce his wife following “the crap she pulled with the birth control”
The man’s post has attracted very many comments with some advising the man to walk out of the marriage while others advise him to keep the marriage going since this is a pretty life-changing event.
Magoha’s Careless Diction-Terming Payment Of BOM Teachers A ‘Non-issue’ Angers Netizens
Netizens are baying for CS Magoha’s blood. Reason? His careless diction.
Education Cabinet Secretary Professor George Magoha’s remarks on the delayed payment of salaries of teachers have elicited mixed reactions.
While addressing journalists after stakeholders’ consultative meeting on Monday at KICD, Magoha noted that all bonafide BOM teachers should have been paid by now. This is after the government approved their payment (BOM teachers) more than six weeks ago.

“BOM teachers should now actually have been paid. The Cabinet and the government approved their payment over six weeks ago and that position has not changed. So let us not waste so much energy discussing non-issues,” said Magoha.
This is the statement that has caused an uproar especially after it came out clearly from social media posts that BOM teachers have not been paid.
CS Magoha and Education CAS Zack Kinuthia’s Contradicting Remarksover the delayed payment of BOM teachers’ salaries

The issue of the delayed payment of teachers has poked holes in the leadership of the ministry of education.
Last week Wednesday, the chief administrative secretary Zack Kinuthia assured teachers that their payment was to be done as soon as possible.
He said, “This is a promise from the office of the CAS through consultation that the money is safely on transit to their bank accounts. It will happen whether it is today, tomorrow or Friday.”
However, contrary to his promise, our dedicated media team has established that these teachers are yet to be paid.
Young Parliamentarians Association Promises a nationwide mass demonstration over delayed payment of BOM teachers’ salaries
Babu Owino had earlier promised to organize a nationwide mass demonstration starting this week to push the government to fast track payment of BOM teachers.
“Failure to pay BOM Teachers as soon as possible will lead to a Peaceful Nationwide demonstration that is better imagined than experienced. I will personally lead the mother and father of all demonstrations and all roads will be blocked on a daily basis, said Babu Owino in a statement.

TSC Salary Rise for Teachers 2021-2023; TSC boss grilled on lack of quorum and delayed 2021-2025 CBA talks on Teachers’ pay rise
TSC Salaries 2021-2025: TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia Taken to Task over Delayed CBA Salary Rise Negotiations, Check out her Response Below
Advertisements
In a snapshot:
Parliament has opened a can of worms after taking reappointed TSC boss Dr. Nancy Macharia to task on matters pertaining to the July 2021 anticipated salary for teachers.
Advertisements
The Members of Parliament are inarguably concerned that talks on the next CBA 2021-2025 that will prevent industrial action by teachers are yet to commence despite the fast approaching conclusion of the 2017-2021 CBA that will end in June 30.
Secondly, only two TSC commissioners have been on duty since March 19, seven have retired making it difficult to effectively deliver on their part.
MPs therefore demand to know who should shoulder the blame for delays in the 2021-2025 CBA salary negotiations and recruitment of new teachers to bridge biting teacher shortages in Kenyan schools.
Should they point fingers at the dysfunctional Teachers Service Commission (TSC)?
Lawmakers hard pressed TSC chief executive Dr. Nancy Macharia to explain to them whether lack of enough quorum that has rocked the commission will risk the welfare of teachers, including negotiations on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
According to the Members of Parliament, only two commissioners have been in office since March 19, as seven have retired.
The two are therefore incapacitated and unfit to make binding decisions as the nine-member commission is only considered legally constituted with at least half of the members.
To date, the Teachers Service Commission is yet to start negotiations with unions despite the fact that the 2017-2021 CBA ends on June 30.
Education committee chairperson Florence Mutua said without a quorum, the commission is unable to operate.
“Can the CEO explain why she did not notify the President when she realised that the commission lacks quorum to decide on teachers issues? How have they been operating?” Ms Mutua asked. Migori woman rep Pamela Odhiambo lamented the quorum hitch, saying, teachers’ issues are crucial.
“Some of the commissioners retired in 2019, why has it taken too long to pick their replacement?” Dr Odhiambo asked.
TSC is responsible for recruitment, promotion, disciplinary processes and reviewing the standards of education and training of teachers. However, Ms Macharia dismissed claims that lack of quorum had affected the functions of the commission.
Streamlining teaching profession
She said TSC has been focusing on implementing earlier decisions, adding, it is not within her purview to notify the President on retirement of commissioners.
TSC chairperson Lydia Nzomo retired last year while Commissioner Cleophas Tirop left in March 2019.
Commissioners Mbarak Twahir, Tache Bosa Gollo, Betreace Marembo Adu, Kinoti Manyara and Mr Albert Fred Ekirapa retired in March this year.
On Wednesday, the National Assembly approved the appointment of Dr Jamleck Muturi as chairperson and Mr Alfred Otieno Oyucho as a commissioner.
During his vetting, Dr Muturi pledged to work with the Ministry of Education, unions and other stakeholders to streamline the teaching profession and restore the commission’s relationships with unions.
The committee has also recommended that the House approves the nomination of Prof Fatuma Chege as the Principal Secretary for State department for the Implementation of Curriculum Reforms in the ministry.
Before her appointment Prof Chege was the Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Administration at the Kenyatta University.

Can you imagine school without Assemblies and queues at the dining hall?
As the proposed date for the reopening of schools in Kenya approaches, teachers’ unions have not been sleeping on their job.
KUPPET and KNUT have been pondering on the best prevention measures that can be put in place to prevent the Spread of Coronavirus.
Advertisements
Some of the measures include banning school Assemblies, physical education lessons and congregated meals.
Restructuring of classes
Besides, the unions also want classrooms to be restrutured to facilitate social distancing.
Advertisements
This therefore means that the seating arrangement will have to be changed to avoid classroom contact.
Fumigation
Teachers’ unions also want all educational facilities currently being used as Coronavirus isolation centers fumigated under the inspection of public health officials ahead of school ”grazing reopening.
Here is a list of all facilities currently being used as Coronavirus isolation centers.
These proposals come at a time when Kenya’s covid-19 positive cases keep on soaring daily.
Kenya’s covid 19 infections have hit 672. 32 people have already succumbed to the pandemic.
Below is a quick glimpse of the extent to which Coronavirus has affected various nations.
Will schools reopen on June 6?
When asked by the parliamentary education committee on when schools will reopen, CS Education Professor George Magoha said that schools will reopen when the pandemic is under control.
TSC FORCED TO PAY A WHOOPING KSHS 5 MILLION FOR NEGLIGENCE
WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND
Does the phrase “Learner Safety and Protection” mean something to you? If it does not, allow me to elaborate it briefly.
Advertisements
This is one of the key areas in Teacher Performance Appraisal and Professional Development, TPAD. This clause holds teachers responsible for learner safety and protection.
If you have been keenly following TSC News, you may have come across some cases of TSC employed teachers being deregistered or suspended from the service for failing to ensure learner safety and protection.
A good example is when students commit suicide. If the suicide is linked to a teacher in any way, then the tutor is in for big trouble including suspension from duty and/ or deregistration.
I used the idiom “What goes around comes back around” to simply mean that the same trap that the TSC had set for teachers has caught up with the commission itself.
This is because the Teachers Service Commission has suffered a big blow after the Court of Appeal upheld Justice Mumbi Ngugi’s ruling that two minors defiled by a deputy’s head be compensated a total sum of Kshs 5 million.
The commission had moved to the court of appeal to protest against high court judge Justice Mumbi Ngugi’s ruling who had blamed the Commission for failing to safeguard the security of the two minors at school.
Court of Appeal judges Martha Koome, Fatuma Sichale, and Roselyn Nambuye, however, they turned down the appeal by TSC hence affirming Justice Mumbi’s grand ruling.
“As innocent victims, the minors are entitled to compensation for having been subjected to humiliation, shame, and pain that may have a lifelong effect on them. It is inconceivable how the minors in their tender years are made to carry that kind of burden of shame due to selfishness of a caregiver,” ruled the three judges.
Defiled
The two minors were defiled by Astarikoh Henry Amkoah, a deputy headteacher at Jamhuri Primary School (Nakuru County) on July 4, and 10 2020.
The unfortunate incidents occurred in the teacher’s house.
In her ruling, Justice Mumbi awarded the first victim Kshs 2 million and the second one who dropped out of school after the incident Kshs 3 million.
At the time of the incident, the victims were aged 12 and 13 respectively.
The money should be deposited in an interest-earning account in trust to enable the two to complete their studies and earn a sustainable living.

According to a circular released by the education ministry, all KCPE 2022 candidates will receive their form one admission letters 2023 on 16th January with clear joining instructions that encompass the reporting date that has been set on January 30, 2023.
The school heads claim the majority of schools will experience an upsurge in Form One intake due to extra classrooms that were set aside for the junior secondary wing.
Advertisements
Kahi Indimuli, the chair of the Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association, said that schools were restricted with the infrastructure during admission, but with some more classrooms at their disposal, public secondary schools expect to experience more requests for admission.
‘‘Schools will experience strain on teachers to manage the high enrolment come next year mostly in Form One. The government needs to work on how this will be managed,’’ Indimuli said.
President William Ruto said learners moving to grades 7, 8 and 9 will remain in their current primary schools as opposed to an earlier proposal to have them join high schools, pushing education stakeholders back to the drawing board after a year of building classrooms in secondary schools.
Indimuli said that with the government’s change of tune on JSS being in primary schools which was informed by the Presidential Working Party recommendations, the extra classes in secondary schools will almost certainly attract more applicants.
‘‘Many schools had prepared to welcome the Grade 7 in January but since they will remain in primary schools, the classrooms will be for Form One learners,’’ he added.
Mwihila High School principal Maurice Ajulo said with the government’s change of tune, more teachers are needed in schools to accommodate the expected high Form One intake.
He said the school, which has only 27 Teachers Service Commission (TSC) teachers as opposed to the required 45, is struggling to serve the high number of students.
“With extra space, we expect high enrollment. This means we need some more teachers to meet the demands of the learners,’’ he said.
He said the institution will use the extra infrastructure to accommodate more First Formers next year.
This year’s placement is likely to see thousands of candidates who did not score 400 marks and above join national schools, which have the capacity to accommodate over 30,000 students.

Teachers Service Commission TSC is set to train over 60,000 secondary school teachers to prepare them for Junior Secondary School.
Classes are slated to take place in March and April 2022.
Advertisements
The Commission has so far trained 120,000 primary school teachers to handle grade six learners next term.
The four-day-training which was organized by both TSC and the Kenya National Examinations Council (Knec) took place in December.
In 2023 the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) will spill over to junior secondary. Junior secondary school will comprise of Grades 7, 8 and 9.
Advertisements
Pioneer learners under the new 2-6-3-3-3 CBC system will transition to junior secondary school after sitting the Grade Six national examinations.
The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) said curriculum designs from Grade One to Ten are ready.
Already the construction of the classes to accommodate the Grade 7, 8 and 9 is ongoing. Interior’s CS Fred Matiang’i said Chiefs will supervise the construction of 11,600 new classrooms in schools countrywide.
During the Mashujaa day celebrations in Kirinyaga, President Uhuru made the announcement that the government will set aside sh. 8 billion for constructing 10,000 junior secondary classes.
According to Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha and Interior’s Fred Matiang’i, the classes to be constructed in the first phase will accommodate learners transiting from primary to junior secondary schools.
Dr Matiang’i said the classrooms will be ready to accommodate learners by 2023.
The government also allowed private schools to set up more classes to ease the transition of learners to junior secondary school.
Education CS George Magoha said the government does not have enough land, especially in the cities, to set up all the requisite facilities ahead of the transition.
He asked private schools to start establishing additional structures to aid in the transition.
“Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu do not have enough secondary schools. We encourage private schools with the capacity to set up more facilities,” he said.
The CS said the initial directive was that junior secondary schools are domiciled in secondary school compounds but lack of land appears to be preventing the transition efforts.
Over 8,000 school headteachers, resolved to push to have grades 7, 8, and 9 domiciled in primary schools, saying they had the capacity to oversee junior secondary.
The headteachers spoke during their Kepsha conference in Mombasa in December.
They said this would enable parents to participate in raising their children to tame cases of arson in secondary schools and improve education standards.
Last week, TSC dashed hope for thousands of primary school teachers who graduated with degree secondary option but with a C (plain) in KCSE.
The Commission said only teachers who scored a mean grade of C+ in the Kenya Certificate for Secondary Examination (KCSE) would be promoted to teach in secondary schools, even if they were degree holders.
This means it would not be possible for graduate P1 teachers with C (plain) in KCSE to be deployed to teach in junior secondary.
Addressing headteachers in Mombasa, TSC Deputy Director of Staffing Antonia Lentoijoni said although the qualification requirements were not popular with teachers, they would improve standards.
She said the bar was raised by the Commission to improve the quality of education, following new challenges emerging in society.
“The Teachers Service Commission has raised the entry point of teaching in the country to have the right kind of people to offer quality education to our children,” said Lentoijoni.
The decision now locks out teachers who scored C- or C and have degrees from going to teach in secondary school, despite a suggestion by Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) Secretary-General Collins Oyuu that teachers in primary school be allowed to teach Grade 7 and 8 in junior secondary school because several of them have masters degrees.
But the TSC insisted any teacher who wants to teach in secondary school must now have C+ and above, leaving those who got their degrees using diploma certificates in a dilemma.
Lentoijoni said teachers with the qualification that TSC had approved were the right kind of people who will ensure quality education to the children.
“These are the people with the ability to offer quality education for our children,” she said.
Recently Knec also issued a condition blocking parents from transferring learners once in Grade six.
According to Knec learners under the Competency-Based Curriculum will not be allowed to transfer schools upon reaching Grade 6.
A document by the Kenya National Examination Council (Knec) spells that under the CBC school transfers will only be admissible to learners in between Grade 1 and 5.
Upon reaching Grade 4 and 5, learners will be required to go to the sub-county director of education should they seek a transfer.
Learners will also need a special assessment number issued by KNEC when they finish Grade 3.
This number will be used to facilitate the assessment of the learners that begins in Grade 4.
The assessment number will be consistent throughout their education and will be used by KNEC in recording the learners’ assessment progress.
This means that should a learner opts to transfer from one school to the other, they will have to retain the assessment number.
Those seeking transfers under CBC at that level—Grade 4 and 5—assessment number will be used to facilitate the transfer process.
The school where the learner was, will receive the transfer request online and click Accept/decline button.
A learner will be transferred to the new school upon acceptance by the headteacher.
“Learners not in the KNEC system at Grade 4 and 5 can be registered by both the sub-county director of education and the headteacher,” the document reads.
Under CBC assessment will be in Grade 4, 5 and 6.
Under the new curriculum, transition from Grade 6 to junior high school will be based on a hybrid model involving a combination of CATs (Classroom Assessment Techniques) and KNEC tests.
Learners in the Competency-Based Curriculum will sit a final examination at the end of primary school, just like KCPE, but the test will not entirely decide their secondary school.
Learners will be required to take CATs at the end of Grades 4, 5 and 6 that will be part of the final mark the learners get at the end of primary school.
Each CAT will carry 20 per cent of the final mark. This means the three CATs will cumulatively account for 60 per cent of the final score.
The remaining 40 per cent will be from the Kenya National Examination Council exam to be issued administered the end of Grade 6.
Head teachers shall access the Competency Based Assessment through a KNEC portal: cba.knec.ac.ke using the school’s username and password.
Reprieve for BOM teachers and subordinate staff as government pledges support; education news
At last, the government of Kenya has heard the cries and seen the plight of BOM teachers and subordinate staff in public schools.
Consequently, the government has pledged support to help them back to their feet after leading a dog’s life as the Nation put it in one of their headlines for the last four months.

If the latest statement by Zachary Kinuthia the education CAS is anything to go by, then these tutors and subordinate staff will start receiving stipends to shield them from the harsh economic realities steered by the covid 19 pandemic.
The teachers were rendered jobless after sudden closure of schools in mid-March this year to curb community spread of the novel Coronavirus.
Zachary Kinuthia’s statement on BOM teachers’ salaries
Advertisements
The latest statement by the education CAS offers a glimmer of hope to BOM teachers.
” As a government, we have heard their cries and seen their suffering. We have had media engagements highlighting their predicament. It is not that the government is insensitive. Monies that will be dispatched to school management boards will be used to help subordinates,” said Kinuthia.
He also acknowledged the fact that the affected teachers have appealed to the government through letters and phone calls several times.
“They have not been getting salaries for the last couple of months. We have been getting appeals through letters and phone calls. We have heard them cry,” added Kinuthia.
According to Kinuthia, BOM teachers will be paid by the CS himself or through the PS in charge of early learning and basic education Dr. Belio Kipsang.
” Although this one will be an announcement by the education CS and the PS, I want to assure you that something will be done,” said Kinuthia.
TSC teachers’ salaries
On TSC Teachers’ salaries, the education CAS said that the government will continue paying them for the next six months until schools reopen.
This statement reinforces TSC head of communications boss Ms. Beatrice Wababu who earlier this month Sid that the TSC will continue paying teachers until schools reopen.
This statement however has not gone down well with some stakeholders who feel that teachers should not continue earning undeserved pay.
There were reports that some quarters had tried to force TSC Boss Dr. Nancy Macharia to either pay teachers subsistence only or find a way to Justin their pay for the next six months.
Schools reopening
Education CS Professor George Magoha is also currently facing undue pressure from the Senate education committee to reopen schools in September as earlier directed by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking on Tuesday, the Senate education committee said that the CS should rescind his earlier decision to open schools in January and consider a phased reopening of schools as of September.
The committee said that the phased reopening should give priority to candidate classes so that the learners can start preparing to sit for their national summative tests early.
