TSC divides teachers’ withheld allowances into three categories.
After a meeting between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and members of the Departmental Committee on Education, teachers get withheld allowances.
The payment of arrears in allowances to school administrators who have been designated to act in acting capacities has been demanded.
It is reported that these educators have put in long hours at work.
Among the primary categories impacted by TSC’s lack of pay are head teachers, principals, and acting deputies.
Honorable Julius Melly, a Tinderet member of parliament and chair of the education committee, told TSC that he was gravely concerned about the long-term stagnation of many teachers in the same post for years.
Melly pointed out that it becomes a serious problem when professors perform in acting roles for more than a year.
Teachers’ Allowances Are Withheld
Sadly, a lot of teachers get themselves in this predicament over an extended length of time.
Melly has therefore pleaded with the instructors Service Commission (TSC) to take these instructors’ permanent appointment into consideration.
However, TSC was questioned by the honorable Malulu Injendi, the vice chairperson of the committee, over why acting teachers are not paid for their extra duties.
The head of TSC, Dr. Macharia, responded to the concerns expressed by acknowledging that TSC had indeed assigned administrators to schools in acting capacities, but that the reason for nonpayment was due to financial constraints.
Dr. Macharia stressed that a number of factors, including the availability of funds, are crucial for teacher promotions.
Macharia emphasized that the Commission has frequently asked the government for financial support for their promotion process in an attempt to defend her position.
But due to the present financial difficulties, the required cash has not been made available.
Macharia declared at the same meeting that the TSC has begun to negotiate with the Salary and Remuneration Commission in order to obtain permission to pay these teachers’ arrears on Special Duty Allowances.
The aforementioned policy attempts to fairly compensate educators who serve in acting capacities.
