Kisumu Kuppet makes threats to sabotage the KCSE exam.
If the agreement that ended their protest is not put into effect, Kuppet teachers have vowed to sabotage this year’s KCSE exams.
According to Zablon Awange, branch secretary for Kisumu Kuppet, the Teachers Service Commission has till November to uphold their end of the bargain.
In order to guarantee that their agreement with TSC is fully implemented, he requested senior Kuppet authorities to call a meeting.
“We’re giving TSC until November to make sure everything is in order. If not, teachers are claiming they have another card, which is the KCSE exam,” stated Awange.
He threatened to interrupt the tests if they did not honor their arrangement.
Kuppet has grown, according to Awange, and no one can take it for granted any longer.
Speaking in Kisumu, the secretary stated that the decision to retrain teachers had harmed many of them and that TSC needed to take another look at it.
“The complaints we have been pursuing are quite legitimate and have impacted the professional advancement of Kisumu County educators,” stated Awange.
As a result, he claimed, many instructors in Kisumu County had become stagnant.
“We, at Kuppet, want the career progression guidelines to be reviewed or removed entirely so that we can return to the scheme of service. Kisumu has been most negatively impacted by them,” Awange stated.
He brought up the planned promotion of 51,232 teachers, for which the government has not yet released funding. According to him, Kuppet members won’t attend class until they are certain that the money has been received.
Awange also bemoaned TSC’s downgrading of their medical coverage, which caused teachers to suffer even more.
According to him, TSC has to hire more junior secondary school teachers in order to meet their demands.
“The government had proposed their employment, but about 46,000 teachers were unemployed and had gone on strike alongside junior secondary teachers,” Awange stated.
“When schools opened for third term, this did not happen and TSC brought a new form demanding that JSS interns accept the extension of the internship from the month of June to August and now to December, which is contrary to the agreement and equally illegal.”
According to him, the reasons behind the teachers’ walkout were still their indisputable minimal concerns.
