Massive Transfer Of Headteachers By TSC Underway
The Teachers Service Commission is finally
implementing what many in the education sector thought was a mere threat and
not implementable, massive transfer of school heads to enhance cohesion.
Many Headteachers have received their transfer
letters and those who are yet to do so will receive them in the course of this
month.
The Headteachers being targeted are those who
have been at the helm of their respective schools for more than nine years.
They are expected to report to their new
stations of work in January as the new terms begin.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers has opposed
the move saying the delocalization of leadership of schools as currently
envisaged by Teachers Service Commission is unacceptable.
The Teachers Service Commission through its
chief executive Nancy Macharia said that the delocalization is part of the
implementation of the CBA.
She also said the commission plans to employ
more than ten thousand teachers per year for the next 5 years.
Nancy Macharia asked all the affected school
heads to liaise with their respective county directors to ensure they settle by
January 2018.
They will also be required to spearhead the
implementation of free secondary education program slated for next year.
The education sector is currently undergoing
massive reconstitutions in all aspects from a change in education system, to
new education qualification requirements for teachers to stringent supervision
of national exams.
