TSC BOSS NANCY MACHARIA’S SHOCKER FOR “LAZY” TEACHERS AS THE COMMISSION PLANS TO INCLUDE TEACHER INVOLVEMENT IN THE NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS IN THE TPAD TOOL
<p>The Teachers Service Commission has hinted at including involvement of teachers in this year’s national examinations in the TPAD.</p>
<p>This is good news for teachers who have been spending time to invigilate, supervise and mark the national examinations.</p>
<p>Teachers with a non-committal attitude will reap what they have been sowing all along.</p>
<p>The information was released by the TSC CEO Dr Nancy Macharia who said that the idea was aimed at rewarding teachers who contribute to the delivery of credible examinations and results.</p>
<p>This year, a total of 179, 149 teachers will be involved in the administration of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and The Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education which is set to commence in two weeks.</p>
<p>She said that the Teachers Service Commission is planning to put more weight on the importance of national examinations management to TPADS and future promotions.</p>
<p>This will form part of the revision and reviews that will be implemented soon.<br />
Teacher promotions have been pegged on the TPAD tool since the year 2016 on a pilot basis.</p>
<p>Last year, however, the Labour Court blocked the TSC from implementing career progression guidelines which gave way to performance contracting when employing teachers.</p>
<p>Justice Byram Ongaya said the TSC failed to convince him how the failure to implement career progression guidelines would paralyse its operations.</p>
<p>In the lawsuit, KNUT claimed that the TPAD tools had greatly demotivated teachers for they were not only time consuming but also costly.</p>
<p>The time spent by a teacher filling the paperwork greatly reduced the contact hour between teachers and students.</p>
<p>On her part, the TSC Boss Dr Nancy Macharia said that failure to implement the TPAD tools will make teachers less accountable while exercising their duty.</p>
<p>Therefore, Justice Ongaya directed the commission to convene a meeting for finalizing the TPAD tools by December before rolling them out in the year 2020.</p>

EXAMINE CHILDREN IN MOTHER TONGUE THE WORLD BANK SUGGESTS
<p>According to a report by the World Bank, Kiswahili and English are not the best-suited languages to determine the development of children.</p>
<p>Although these are the official languages in Kenya, the report suggests that mother tongue is better placed when it comes to determining the development of a child before s/he joins school.</p>
<p>Therefore assessments of children in either Kiswahili or English may not fully depict a clear picture of the child’s progress.</p>
<p>The report also reveals that when a child is growing up, s/he is likely to grasp the language that the primary caregiver (the mother) speaks- the first language, L1 also known as the child’s mother tongue.</p>
<p>This means that these children are less likely to get exposed to English since most of the neighbours speak in the child’s mother tongue.</p>
<p>The report’s finding is based on a study which was conducted in Homabay and Kisumu on September 2015.</p>
<p>The study also aimed at understanding the performance of children on receptive vocabulary tests in mother tongue versus official languages.</p>
<p><strong>MULTI-LINGUALISM</strong><br />
13 children who took part in the assessment could answer the questions given in English.</p>
<p>Six children responded in Swahili. The rest, 297 which translates into 58% answered in more than one language.</p>
<p>It was further noted that the number of children who could answer in a single language decreased with age.</p>
<p>Children answered more expressive words in Luo, followed by English then Kiswahili.</p>
<p>The use of Swahili decreased slightly with the respondents’ age.</p>
<p>Even the youngest of all preferred their mother tongue to English and Kiswahili.</p>
<p>The question is, should we examine our children in the mother tongue?</p>

DR NANCY MACHARIA SUSPENDS LEAVE FOR TEACHERS AHEAD OF THE 2019 NATIONAL EXAMINATIONS
<p>In Summary<br />

KUPPET DEMANDS FOR A NATIONAL EXAM AT GRADE 6
<p>According to Dr Obura, Education key stakeholders have already embraced competitive national exams even though they do not want to be associated with the idea given that they have promising “manna and quails” all along.</p>
<p>Our mega concern is the fact that education authorities have not yet revealed a standardized assessment method which will be used at Grade six to select learners into secondary schools.</p>
<p>Dr Amina Mohammed’s reign at the Ministry of Education was never welcome given the high par that had already been set by her predecessor Dr Fred Matiang’ i.</p>
<p>The major reason was her calm personality and leadership style which greatly contrasted with <strong>Dr Matiang’ i’s</strong> bulldozer approach.</p>
<p>Her unwelcome announcement that Kenya is not ready for the <strong>CBC</strong><span style="text-transform: initial;"> </span><span style="text-transform: initial;">is proof enough of her political naivety.</span></p>
<p>How can you admit that a policy has failed when the government has already convinced Kenyans to embrace it?</p>
<p>If you critically analyze <strong>Dr Amina Mohammed’s</strong> transfer to a lesser docket- Sports, it is easy to connect to the time she publicly declared that Kenya was not well prepared to roll out the Competence-Based Curriculum.</p>
<p>What if Dr Amina was right?</p>
<p><strong>EVALUATION</strong><br />
Most Kenyans believe that the recently concluded nationwide grade three assessment tests were chaotic.</p>
<p>If you are among them, then whatever you witnessed is just a debut. More elninos are yet to come.</p>
<p>According to Dr Anna Obura, an education expert, who reacted to a column in The Daily Nation on CBC lat week, 2022 when the current grade three pupils are expected to select secondary schools is the year to focus on.</p>
<p>This is because education authorities have not yet come up with a standard procedure to be used in 2022 when selecting preferred secondary schools.<br />
To date, we are still holding on to the tradition of appointing “multiple” commissions to look into this matter.</p>
<p>So far, another task force has been set up to inquire about the assessment method.</p>
<p>The question is, how well prepared are we to roll out the new CBC curriculum?</p>
<p><strong>EXAMINATIONS</strong><br />
Dr Obura is greatly convinced that education authorities have already settled for competitive national examinations.</p>
<p>However, they want to exonerate themselves by making it appear like they are not pushing for the idea.</p>
<p>After all, how will the people receive the news, having been promised change all along?</p>
<p>According to Dr Obura, the public will end up demanding for a standard, scientifically designed, and administered, fairly marked and moderated examinations.</p>
<p>According to the expert, the government is very much aware of this but it is waiting for “the people to demand a competitive exam.”</p>
<p>“If the people demand it, who are we to refuse?” This is the statement they are likely to issue to let themselves off the hook.</p>
<p>The Ministry of Education is waiting for the moment the public will lament for examinations.</p>
<p>It is a wonder the educational planners never factored in this glaring gap before the rollout of CBC?</p>
<p>There is more honour in honesty. The ministry should have acknowledged this from the start.</p>
<p>Three days after Dr Obura’s e-mail which predicted the return of national exams, KUPPET showed up at the taskforce and demanded a national competitive exam at Grade 6.</p>
<p>This is the sweet music that the Ministry of Education wants to hear.</p>

KUPPET REJECTS PROFESSOR MAGOHA’S PROPOSAL TO HAVE OUTSIDERS MANAGE SECONDARY SCHOOL FUNDS INSTEAD OF PRINCIPALS
<p><strong>In summary:</strong><br />
<strong>KUPPET</strong> representatives have told Professor Magoha to let principals be.<br />
According to KUPPET’s Milemba, the union is willing to fight for the welfare of Kenyan teachers at whatever cost.</p>
<p><strong>WHO IS BETTER SUITED TO HANDLE SCHOOL FUNDS, PRINCIPALS OR OUTSIDERS?</strong><br />
KUPPET on Thursday refuted a proposal by the Education Cabinet Secretary <strong>Professor George Magoha</strong> to have outsiders manage secondary school funds.</p>
<p>The union’s <strong>secretary-general Okello Misori</strong> and <strong>chair Omboko Milemba</strong> defended the principals saying they can manage school money.</p>
<p>They said that professor Magoha should stop undermining the authority of principals since they have already undergone rigorous training on matters financial management.</p>
<p>The two union officials spoke at Kisii Sports Club during the annual general meeting of <strong>KUPPET-Kisii Branch</strong>.</p>
<p>The union pledged to support the principals by outrightly rejecting Professor Magoha’s proposal.</p>
<p>Mr Misori said he wonders how foreigners can manage school cash yet we have principals who are not only diligent but also trained to do their job.</p>
<p>Besides, these are the same principals who have been managing the schools over the years. So what has changed?</p>
<p><strong>PROMOTIONS AND HOUSE ALLOWANCES</strong><br />
Misori further added that the union will continue with its negotiations with THE Teachers Service Commission on promotion of teachers, house allowances and recruitment.</p>
<p>The union said it is committed to fighting for the welfare of Kenyan teachers.<br />
Those teachers who have stagnated in Job groups L and M should be promoted, Milemba added.</p>
<p><strong>SECRET PROPOSAL</strong><br />
A month ago Professor Magoha gave a proposal which sought to grant Education Cabinet Secretaries the power to appoint a manager to run school finances and resources.</p>
<p>Principals of national and some extra county schools were the targets due to the huge amount of money they receive.</p>
<p>The proposal by the CS is aimed at stripping school principals of the power to run school money and other resources.</p>
<p>According to this proposal, heads should take their hands off school money and focus on their core duty of supervising learning and teaching in schools.</p>
<p><strong>FINANCE MANAGERS AND UNSCRUPULOUS ACTIVITIES</strong><br />
According to the CS, the Ministry of Education will deploy a finance manager to every school for accountability.</p>
<p>The reason behind this move is the numerous accusations levelled against school principals.</p>
<p>The principals have been accused of engaging in dishonest and corrupt deals to make extra money.</p>
<p>Some of these activities include giving out school buses for hire, paid remedial and holiday tuition and collaborating with suppliers of textbooks and school uniforms to make money.</p>
<p><strong>CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS</strong><br />
According to the CS, institutions with questionable quality assurance reports should be thoroughly combed.</p>
<p>Complaints from concerned education stakeholders will also be taken into account during the investigation process.</p>
<p>Professor Magoha’s proposal seeks to have the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission and the DPP involved in investigating the use of school resources.</p>
<p>This combined effort is aimed at unearthing shoddy and corrupt dealings by principals.</p>
<p>Schools with adverse quality reports will, therefore, be subjected to further investigations by the EACC.</p>
<p>Investigated case files will then be forwarded to the DPP’s office for further action.</p>

They must also be ready to be posted anywhere in the country. Those applying must be </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">35 years and below</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. They </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">must be registered</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> teachers with the commission(TSC number), they must be </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">jobless</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> and must have a minimum p1 and diploma for primary and secondary recruitment respectively. Besides, the applicants must have a personal accident insurance to cover for personal risks during the 12- month internship period.

<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Salaries and deductions</span></strong></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">According to the sources from TSC, it is confirmed that primary school teacher interns will pocket </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">10,000</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> while their secondary school counterparts will smile all the way to the bank to cash </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">15,000</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. It is important to note that these incomes are subject to statutory deductions. This is stuff like NSSF, NHIF among others.</span></p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Grand promise</span></strong></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Tsc has confirmed that the successful interns will be offered permanent jobs. However, this will depend on the usual conditions: availability of funds and the interns&#8217; performance.</span></p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Knut boss- Wilson Sossion’s blessings</span></strong></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">The embattled KNUT boss Wilson Sossion has backed the recruitment. He, however, cautioned the commission to carry out the exercise in strict adherence to the labour laws governing such processes.</span></p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Staggering numbers of pupils and students</span></strong></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">It is important to note that the ever-swelling numbers of learners in public schools have thrown school managers to panic mode. This is because the resources allocated to schools are not commensurate with the recruitment of teachers and the provision of other essentials in these schools. Survey on the ground indicate that the shortage of teachers in secondary schools stand at a whopping </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">85,258</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> this year up from </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">57,380</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> last year. In primary the shortage stands at </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">30,357</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">. This is so bearing in mind that the ministry has to plan for the 10million pupils and about </span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">2.8 million</span></strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true"> students. This severe shortage has forced the school managers to hire teachers on BOM terms to alleviate the situation. This has created another challenge on matters funds because the government subsidies are not for personal emoluments forcing them to survive on shoestring budgets in a bid to implement learning programmes in schools. The swelling numbers also have strained teachers especially those on duty leading to low morale and possible burnouts.</span></p>
<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Subjects with biting shortage.</span></strong></p>
<p><span data-preserver-spaces="true">According to TSC some of the worst-hit subjects in teacher distribution are physics, cre, history, agriculture, English and math. These subjects have fewer teacher trainees even at the teacher training institutions and universities. Ironically, schools are experiencing these acute shortages yet the country has 328,324 trained but jobless teachers!</span></p>
