TSC asked to look for long-term answers to the teachers’ strikes.
So that teachers can get back to work, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been asked to find long-term answers to the strikes.
Lukas Maburi, the principal of Gekong’o Secondary School in Kenyenya Sub-county, said that the current rules for teacher job progression are to blame because they are so slow that teachers are frustrated.
“The TSC should set a clear time frame for when a teacher automatically moves from one status to another. Instead of relying on job grades, which put teachers in groups and cause some to retire before they get promoted,” he said.
He praised Omboko Milemba, Secretary General of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET), for calling off the strike before things got worse in schools.
He said, “A wise leader must read the signs of changing events and set out to stop them before they get out of hand. Misori did just that.”
Still, some parents haven’t let their kids go to school, which he felt bad about. He asked chiefs and their assistants to remind parents of this job.
“Teachers went on strike, but when they ended it, they handed the reins to students who haven’t come back, and the ones who do come to school don’t have money and expect the schools to run,” he said.
The principal called everyone who was impacted by the strike and told them that the only way to survive in a world that is always changing is to follow Christian values like tolerance, patience, and strength.
