TSC, union expected to face off at summit

Knut Secretary-General Wilson Sossion addresses principals from across the continent at Pride Inn Hotel in Mombasa on August 6, 2018.

A clash is looming between Teachers and their employer over various issues that remain unresolved.

Teachers Service Commission CEO Nancy Macharia and other top officials have been invited to a three-day Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) annual delegates conference in Nairobi.

The promotion of 30,000 teachers, performance appraisal tools, delocalisation of teachers and other issues will dominate the discussions.

Also expected at the meeting to be attended by 2,000 delegates are President Kenyatta, Education CS Amina Mohamed and her PS Belio Kipsang.

During the 60th annual delegates conference in Mombasa last year, the teachers asked their employer to withdraw the appraisal tools, repeal the delocalisation policy and work on promotions.
