TSC To Demote Non-graduate Head teachers

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has started a new data collection operation in order to determine the appropriate amount of primary headteachers with degrees.

The Commission demands that the school administrators submit an excel file with details such their highest level of education (P1, DEGREE, MASTERS).

The Education Taskforce made suggestions for integrating nursery, primary, and junior schools under the leadership of a single principal, and the TSC is currently working to implement those recommendations.

The reform team seeks to create a Comprehensive school that combines all three educational levels under the direction of a Principal who is required to have a degree.

The deputy principals, who are teachers who will oversee the nursery, primary, and junior schools, will assist the principal.

A bachelor’s degree in education or higher is required for the principal and his deputies to be certified educators.

Currently, P1 instructors without a degree make up the majority of primary school leaders, however some also have diplomas.

A year-long principalship was also offered to primary headteachers who had junior secondary pupils enrolled in their schools.

The headteacher’s qualifications were not taken into account by TSC when promoting them; instead, if the school had a student registered in Grade 7, they were granted a letter of deployment to JSS.

The temporary management of the headteachers over the JSS terminates on December 30, 2023, in accordance with the current regulations.

TSC, however, has an entire year to implement the fresh recommendations presented by the education reform panel.

There are more than 23,000 public elementary schools in Kenya, and the majority of them have permission from the Ministry of Education to host JSS.

Rules that TSC and the government must develop must be followed by senior teachers who will answer to the Principal.

Current headteachers who don’t fit the bill for running comprehensive schools will be demoted and presumably given smaller duties.

They will thus lose control over the institution’s money and business activities.

Some schools have been operating without long-term administrators because the commission was unable to find candidates for the positions.

Its chief will be the accounting officer for every division that makes up the comprehensive school.

The school Board of Management’s (BOM) composition is likewise liable to change.

The JSSs are now managed by a temporary subcommittee made up of members of the BoM for elementary schools.

The PWPER (Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms) additionally recommends limiting the size of the BoM to nine or 10 individuals. It asserts that the current boards are bloated.

Alternatively, the TSC would not represent the Ministry of Education but rather the comprehensive and senior secondary school heads.
