KNUT Supports P1 Teachers in the Upcoming TSC Recruitment.
In the forthcoming recruitment drive, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is being urged by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) to give priority to P1 teachers.
The union is worried that P1 teachers, who are essential to basic education, are being neglected in favor of Junior Secondary School (JSS) instructors.
At a recent news briefing, Desmond Lang’at, the Executive Secretary of KNUT’s Bomet chapter, brought attention to the matter.
He emphasized that primary school instructors are highly qualified and possess age-appropriate teaching skills that are crucial for primary learners, while also pointing out the concerning trend of these teachers being neglected.
Lang’at emphasized how crucial it is to include P1 teachers in the hiring process. Furthermore, he contended that these educators are essential to preserving the standard of instruction in the elementary sector.
“TSC has moved past P1 tutors and is now concentrating on hiring JSS teachers. Priority should be given to these teachers since they are highly qualified to oversee the primary division, according to Lang’at.
Lang’at also suggested retraining JSS instructors to make sure they are in line with the comprehensive school system.
He made the point that since many JSS instructors received their initial training in secondary education, they would need to retrain in order to teach younger kids with ease.
Lang’at also used the occasion to praise the Bomet region’s teachers for their commitment and discipline. He acknowledged the teachers’ dedication and commended them for their hard work, pointing out that there haven’t been any incidences of indiscipline in the county lately.
He thinks both the union and the larger Bomet school system benefit from this commitment.
To sum up, KNUT is urging a fair strategy in the next TSC hiring process to guarantee that P1 and JSS teachers are fairly represented. This strategy will support upholding high standards of education at all levels.
