Unemployed Teachers: TSC CEO Advocates Fair Job Applications
Unemployed Teachers: TSC CEO Advocates Fair Job Applications. Facilitating Educational Opportunities: In advocating for widespread job applications among unemployed teachers, the TSC CEO, Dr. Nancy Macharia, emphasizes a shift beyond home counties. Instead of confining searches, she encourages a broader exploration of opportunities across the country. This resounding call took center stage during the 20th KEPSHA Annual Delegates Conference, where heartfelt gratitude was expressed for crucial government funds.
In a pivotal move, these funds played a decisive role in recruiting over 56,000 teachers, with a primary focus on Junior Schools. Dr. Macharia highlighted the profound impact of the annual event, serving as a vital platform for the TSC to engage with dedicated professionals overseeing the education of over 10 million learners across 22,935 Public Primary and Junior schools.
Simultaneously, Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu seized the moment to announce a comprehensive promotion initiative. Targeting teachers persisting in the same grade, with a notable focus on primary school headteachers, this initiative positions them to ascend to the role of principals within Junior Secondary Schools (JSS).
Machogu emphasized the belief that many primary school head teachers, often highly qualified, deserve promotions. Commending those with PhDs in educational fields, he urged the TSC to facilitate their promotions, recognizing their competence for additional professional responsibilities.
In essence, this multifaceted approach not only addresses teacher unemployment but also acknowledges and elevates the qualifications and contributions of educators nationwide.
