Ministry requests TSC authority to dismiss principals and head teachers.

A measure to designate the Ministry of Education as an agency of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is now being considered.

The Ministry of Education is requesting the authority to dismiss principals and head teachers who exhibit poor leadership and mishandle school resources.

A power struggle between the Education Ministry and TSC for control of schools and their resources has previously taken place.

Without consulting the Commission, the Ministry now seeks complete authority to curb the abuse of school capitation and other resources.

If the plans are approved, the Ministry’s sub-county, county, and regional directors will assume control of the schools and have the authority to fire a dissident principle or headteacher without consulting the TSC.

The Ministry claims that there is a crisis in education administration because it lacks the authority to punish school administrators who disregard its circulars and other directions.

The Kenya Education Management Information System (KEMIS) is another system that the Ministry wishes to replace the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS).

In contrast to NEMIS, KEMIS will provide a student with a unique identification number from birth via birth certificate, which will be utilized throughout the learner’s academic career, from kindergarten to college and university.

The NEMIS system, which is reportedly operating in tandem with the Competency Based Assessment (CBA) system run by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) and other systems, would face obstacles that KEMIS will resolve.

In order to better prepare graduates for the global labor market, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has advocated for immediate reforms in the educational system, which coincides with the suggested adjustments.

Kindiki emphasized the need for greater accessibility, affordability, and quality at all educational levels while speaking at a high-level review meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Education.

In order to stay up with international trends in education and skill development, the Presidential Working Party on Education Reform, which convened in Karen, suggested bolstering the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC).

In order to guarantee that every Kenyan can actively contribute to the development of the country, the group also called for more funding for technical, vocational, and university education.

Kindiki stated that the CBC needs to adapt to upcoming worldwide trends in human capital development and teaching.

“We must make sure that graduates of our educational system are prepared for a world market that is changing quickly.”

Among those in attendance were Permanent Secretaries Dr. Belio Kipsang (Basic Education), Dr. Beatrice Inyangala (Higher Education and Research), and Dr. Esther Muoria (TVET), as well as Cabinet Secretary for Education Julius Migos Ogamba.

Concerns about Kenya’s educational system and its capacity to give students the skills they need for the workforce are growing, which is why reform is being called for.
