TSC Intern Teachers Seek Complete Compensation and Arrears.
The instructors Service Commission (TSC) engaged almost 56,000 instructors as interns. These teachers may now want their employer to reimburse them for their whole internship wage as well as any outstanding balances.
There are currently intern teachers employed by TSC who want to file a lawsuit against the commission to recover unpaid wages for the time they spent providing their services to junior schools.
Speaker Boniface Omari, acting as spokesperson, said in Nairobi that the commission ought to begin compensating them for the undervalued 15 months that they had worked.
The representative also mentioned that they are pursuing legal action to obtain payment for the time they worked for TSC without receiving a full salary.
According to Omari, intern instructors at TSC now owe the company Sh26 billion, which they are requesting be paid to them directly.
Furthermore, through the national assembly, Omari expressed the wish for the government to push the TSC to completely comply with the court’s finding that teachers with comparable qualifications ought to be paid equally.
Now that the government has agreed to the court’s ruling that teachers with comparable qualifications ought to be paid equally, all intern teachers want this done in full.
As per their agreement to teach only two subjects, the court verdict on Wednesday revealed that the interns were teaching a comprehensive curriculum, including subjects like physics and mathematics for which they were not trained.
The position of the interns is problematic, according to the Court, because of the prior state.
It also came to light that, even though primary and secondary interns only receive an intern stipend of SH 15,000 and SH 20,000, respectively, they are nevertheless required to pay full taxes and make government payments, including the contentious housing levy.
There is a problem of misunderstanding in their everyday service delivery since these teachers lack resources and experience teaching students who are at a low behavioral and psychological development level.
