TSC Agrees To Pay 3 Teacher Categories Their Withheld Allowance Arrears.
Teachers’ arrears on withheld allowance will be paid by TSC. The parliament’s education committee and the Teachers Service Commission convened. Several teachers who had been serving in an acting capacity for a number of years were to have their allowance arrears reimbursed, it was claimed in that sitting.
Many educators have served in an unpaid capacity for extended periods of time as substitute teachers. Acting deputies, head teachers, and principals are among the positions for whom compensation is still pending.
A number of teachers have been stuck in the same job category for years, according to Tinderet politician Julius Melly. He is not just the chair of the education committee but also an MP. While discussing the promotion issue with TSC, he showed them a great deal of care.
The legislator argued that it is unjust for an educator to work in an acting role for longer than a year. He stated that these issues must be resolved as quickly as feasible. “It is regrettable that the majority of educators have been in an acting role for longer than a year,” he stated.
Still, he ultimately gave TSC the assignment to think about hiring these professors for permanent roles.
The deputy chairperson of the education committee is Malulu Injendi. He asked TSC why acting allowances are not given to teachers when they serve in that capacity. He requested a thorough explanation from TSC as to why these acting professors receive no pay for the additional roles they do.
Teachers’ Arrears on Withheld Allowance Will Be Paid by TSC
TSC CEO Dr. Nancy Macharia responded to the aforementioned criticisms by defending the commission. She mentioned that a number of administrators had been temporarily assigned to schools thus far. She did point out that it has been challenging to pay these teachers due to financial restrictions.
THE WAY TSC MANAGES PROMOTIONS
The TSC head went on to say that budgetary allocation is typically used for TSC promotions. She said that it would be difficult to promote these teachers without funding.
She mentioned that in order to advance these teachers, the commission has been asking for funding. Budgetary restrictions, however, have been a major worry.
Nonetheless, the commission has requested that a special duty allowance be paid through the wages and remuneration commission. This will be used to pay educators who are currently performing.
