<p><a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/"><strong>TSC News Today</strong></a>: <strong>Teachers employed and Current serving on the newly introduced career progression guidelines rolled out by the Teachers Service Commission in 2017 have for over a long time had reason to smile today after details emerged about how their seemingly oppressive employer was humiliated in parliamentary sittings this week</strong>.</p>
<p>According to the Saturday Nation, the Teachers Service Commission has been accused of infringing on <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/"><strong>TSC</strong></a> teacher&#8217;s rights by forcing them to enroll, undertake and pay for the &#8220;mandatory&#8221; <a href="https://newspro.co.ke/category/education/tsc-news/"><strong>TSC TPD Training</strong></a> Modules without their consent.</p>
<p>According to verified reports at our disposal this morning, the Busia Member of Parliament Dr. Florence Mutual took to the stage to back up Akelo Misori&#8217;s proposal requesting for the suspension of the mandatory TSC TPD Modules that were meant to last a lifetime especially for newly recruited teachers. According to the honourable members of the national assembly, the roll out the TSC TPD modules is a duplication of in-service trainings for teachers.</p>
<p>Members of Parliament feel that it is better to have TPD incorporated into other TSC in-service training for teachers that are conducted from time to time to avoid burdening the ex-chequer which may be forced to allocate extra funds for the training.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Besides, the cost of training is way to high for teachers who are currently paid a pittance in the name of salary. The training requires up to 30, 000 Kes. Given that teachers have not received any increment in the new 2021-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA, it will be tricky for them to raise extra funds for the TPD training.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>The Teachers Service Commission also needs to appreciate the fact that teachers are human beings with various financial burdens to shoulder. Therefore, most of them have committed their salaries already.</p>
<h2><strong>Akelo Misori Tramples on TSC TPD Modules</strong></h2>
<p>Teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission are a lucky lot to have one of their own representing them in the August house for the last five years.</p>

<p>A look at the perfomance of KUPPET national chairman honorable Omboko Milemba who is also MP for Emuhaya, nominated MP wilson sossion and Bungoma women representative Ms Wambilianga reveals a job well done.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>First, it&#8217;s Omboko Milemba who pettitioned Parliament through education committee to stop TSC from implementing the Controversial TPD which would have seen teachers losing Ksh 6000 towards the modules</strong>.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>A move by Parliament to stop the Commission from implementing the refresher courses earlier this month was a great win for Teachers of Kenya.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>In their Decision, the MPs asked TSC to undertake public participation first before rolling out the training.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Besides, the commission was asked to pay for the modules instead of overburdening the poor Teachers</strong>.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p><strong>Two, nominated MP Wilson Sosion is also on record pettitioning Parliament to look into TSC&#8217;s decision to stop promoting teachers who have gone for further studies.</strong></p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>If his prayers are granted by the MPs, TSC will be forced to start promoting teachers with higher qualifications which will be a big win to them as it will come with higher salaries.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Currently, the union leaders are pushing the government to re-look into the non-monetary CBA which was signed last year with a view to increasibg the salaries of lowly paid teachers.</p>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Do you think union leaders are representing tutors better now that they are MPs? Feel free to share your thoughts and comments on this on our comments platform.</p>
