The Teachers Service Commission,TSC, has announced that they will employ more teachers to take care of the increased workload from the 2019 form one admissions. The TSC Chief Executive Officer, Dr Nancy Njeri Macharia, says 5000 secondary school teachers will be employed this month in line with 100 per cent transition policy.

Meanwhile, TSC has paid the teachers’ salaries for January 2019. The Commission, though, has not effected the statutory pension scheme deductions as was earlier expected. On a positive note, TSC has paid the annual leave allowance for 2018; that has been included in the January, 2019 pay. Another deduction that has not been effected is the housing scheme which incidentally was suspended by the court. Some banks like Equity have already reflected the salaries.

Dr Nancy Macharia also paid a courtesy call to the Orange Democratic Movement’s leader, HE Raila Odinga, at Capitol Hill Square today. During the meeting the two held discussions on issues to do with education and the challenges teachers face.
