TSC ensures tutors of reviewing delocalization programme

President Uhuru Kenyatta reviewed the delocalization programme and issued a directive to the teachers’ employer.

Kenya’s Teachers Service Commission (TSC) was under immense pressure from tutors to have a review made on the performance-based management and the policy of delocalization within a stipulated time of two weeks.

The Quality Assurance and Standards director, Dr. Reuben Nthamburi is directed by the TSC to head a meeting with the Kenya Primary Schools Headteachers Association (Kepsha) and Kenya Secondary Schools Head Association (Kessha) and address on the emerging issues pertaining to the policy.

The TSC guaranteed the tutors to bring all the issues to peace as soon as possible.

President Uhuru Kenyatta reviewed the delocalization programme and issued a directive to the teachers’ employer.

The last five years have been all about raising teaching standards and checking improvisations of the learning outcomes for the TSC. The performance-based management system incorporates Teacher Performance Appraisal and Development (TPAD) and performance contracting as a part of it.

The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) planned a strike which is to be checked with an intervention by the employer, changing tune and, admitting about the issues to be discussed with relevant stakeholders.

The primary school teachers supported the President’s directive and ended their week-long conference yesterday at Mombasa saying it to be long overdue.

Kepsha chairman Shem Ndolo appreciated the TSC directive and said that the delocalization tore families and hampered performance in schools.
