TSC Announces New Delocalization Plan Inviting Teachers

Besides forging for close knit families for teachers who are married to their fellow teachers, the Teachers Service Commission is planning to reward teachers who have faithfully served the Commission until their fifties in the Latest TSC Delocalization policy.

According to the latest news reaching us at newspro.co.ke, the Teachers’ employer (TSC) is set to allow online transfer requests for teachers aged fifty years and above in a move geared towards burying the much loathed delocalization that birthed the exodus of teachers in masses three years ago.

 

These online transfers of teachers aged in their fifties will be effected in January 2023 ahead of the official school reopening to avoid interrupting the learning process after approval by the TSC board.

The Commission will act on the transfer requests once the teachers are through with administration and marking of the 2022 national examinations and assessments.

 

However, it has been revealed that the Commission will prioritize teachers who are aged and are almost retiring.

 

 

This information was hinted at by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua who said that the transfers will follow the Kenya Kwanza Manifesto and its Education Charter.

 

Gachagua was speaking at an event where the induction of a 49-member working party in Karen took place. He said that President Ruto’s administration is meant to promote a strong family unit to keep families together.

 

The 49-member team was appointed to provide recommendations regarding reviewing of the education sector.

 

 

“We had our plan, our manifesto, our education charter there are several things that we promised teachers. The issue of delocalization has destroyed families. The Ruto administration is for a strong family unit to keep families together, especially those teachers who are headed for retirement. We want to assist them to prepare for retirement,” said Rigathi Gachagua.

 

According to the DP, the government will meet with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in the coming week to have a discussion that could return teachers who were delocalized back to their home counties.

 

“We will be engaging with TSC next week so that the issue of delocalization is dealt with once and for all and teachers who are taken to places and their families put in awkward situations that matter is addressed so that we build strong family ties for a stronger nation,” said the DP.

 

In July last year, in a bid to entice teachers and respond to protests by teachers who were not in support of delocalization, TSC released circular informing teachers outlining the CBA 2021-2025’s benefits to teachers to transfer to their spouses.

 

 

“However, to achieve the family values enshrined in the Constitution, the Commission shall consider transfer requests for married couples to appropriate stations/locations subject to availability of vacancies, the need for a suitable replacement, existing staffing norms and proof of marriage among other factors,” read part of the CBC document.

 

However, the Commission agreed to this on grounds of the married couples being both teachers and will only be transferred subject to the availability of vacancies.

 

Following complaints that TSC’s delocalization had destroyed families and endangered teachers’ lives, the Commission embarked on a countrywide collection of views from stakeholders in the teaching service in a bid to steer service re-engineering.

 

The Commission did this through a 16th of June circular whereby they directed all Regional and County Directors of Education to collect information from staff in all sub-counties teachers and other key stakeholders within their jurisdiction on how the Commission can improve its service delivery on its functions and critical business.

 

 

The Circular was copied to the Commission Secretary and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Dr Nancy Macharia allowing the TSC Regional and County Directors up to June 29th 2022 to complete the exercise.

 

The delocalization policy was introduced by the Commission five years ago with the view of enhancing national cohesion.

 

However, the programme was strongly opposed by teachers and their unions who are calling for it to be abolished.

TSC had also asked for data of school heads who are currently serving from home due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Under the secondary schools’ sector, regional directors were ordered to capture the home county of the principals together with details of their current institutions.

The information included the size of the station, the sponsor of the school, and the category of the school and the enrolment of the data. The mean score recorded by the schools for the last 3 years between 2017 and 2019 were also to be taken as well as the school’s host county.

The principal’s designation, job group, and gender were also captured. County Schools are headed by principals who fall under grade D2. There are approximately 7,000 sub-county schools with nearly 650,000 students countrywide.

Extra county school principals fall under grade D4. There are roughly 531 sub-county schools in Kenya with about 130,000 students.

For primary schools, the teachers’ employer wanted to get the data on the age of the headteachers, their home county, designation, current school, and host county of the institution.

However, teachers with medical conditions together with those who are about to retire will not be affected by the forthcoming delocalization exercise.

In the July wave, TSC is targeting school administrators who have worked longer in the same station and those whose promotion has delayed ensuring a fair transition while continuing the delocalization program.

The delocalization process for school heads started back in 2018 and has resulted in head teachers and principals of primary and secondary schools being transferred from schools in their home regions or counties to other regions.

TSC maintains that this will better curb corruption, reduce rates of student indiscipline and bring about a more national viewpoint in school management.

In March, the Teachers Service Commission TSC dismissed claims that it was planning for a mass transfer of teachers nationwide after the national exams were completed.

The affected teachers will receive their letters once they are availed in their respective counties. However, teachers can also visit TSC website www.tsc.go.ke to check whether their names appear there.
