The difficulties faced by teachers in areas with arid and semi-arid lands continue to prevent them from helping kids.According to Cabinet Secretary for the Interior Kithure Kindiki, the government must relocate all foreign instructors to sites that are more secure due to the threat of terrorist strikes.
According to Kindiki, educators must seek refuge in temporary shelters or police stations.According to the CS, tutors are transferred daily from this facility to and from their different colleges.
CS remarked when he appeared before the National Assembly Education Committee, which Tinderet had called.At the start of the third term of classes, Melly pleaded with the administration to ensure the safety of educators.In a month, schools will close and reopen with teachers who have been stigmatized as a result of witnessing the murder of their coworkers. Melly questioned, “How can we help such teachers adjust?”Kindiki stated, “We have placed them all in a location where we feel their safety is assured while we continue to address the issue.”Dick Maungu, a Luanda MP, claims that traumatized instructors have a negative impact on how well pupils are cared for.
Maungu claimed that teachers’ lives are in risk. “How can you expect a teacher to go into hiding for the night and then show up for class the next day to instruct students?When colleagues are killed at police stations, Jerusha Momanyi, a member of parliament from Nyamira, wonders how the safety of replacement teachers will be guaranteed.Why are non-locals targeted even in police stations, yet cops are protected and teachers are killed? Momanyi questioned.According to Kindiki, the government has sent top security troops to the area to secure the teachers’ protection.
According to Kindiki, terrorists started targeting police stations as soon as they learned that instructors were staying inside. He noted that part of their strategy included enhancing vital infrastructure.He revealed that during school breaks, 37 teachers were assassinated as they travelled back to their home nations.29 security personnel, eight road contractors’ engineers, and three hydrogeologists are among the other dead.“We need to deploy more elite police due to the nature of the threat in the North Eastern region, but we do not have enough.” He stated that some aspects of terrorism have spread from nearby Somalia.
According to Haro Abdul, a lawmaker representing Mandera South, many instructors are afraid to return home for fear for their safety.For fear of being harmed, the majority of teachers avoid visiting their homes over the holidays. According to Abdul, there is no security staff in remote areas to allay instructors’ concerns.Kiambu representative Anne Wanjiku questioned why local officials had remained silent while teachers continued to die.Wanjiku questioned whether the circumstance had political merit and how it developed despite being under the supervision of local officials, questioning whether it was a ploy.
Malulu Injendi, a politician from Malava, questioned why assailants target teachers stationed in the area without the officials’ knowledge.Injendi asked about the people terrorising the neighbourhood, claiming that they are natives. The legislator acknowledged the existence of administrators in those areas who watch such events and questioned the scope of their jurisdiction.The CS claimed that the funding for security was in jeopardy because to the difficulty in influencing politics and the threat posed by regional communities.
He claimed that the local community continues to make threats against outsiders, harming not just the teachers but also the local kids themselves.The assailants occasionally entered the region three days before the attacks, according to reports. This suggests that they rely on the locals for information and protection because they want to make money.
The CS instructed the Teachers Service Commission to exercise caution in order to ensure that teachers from other areas serve in the area as soon as is practical.He also recommended that the government provide teaching scholarships to local students and risk allowances for instructors operating in the ASAL zone in order to address the teacher shortage.He also advocated hiring local teachers, purchasing plane tickets for returning teachers, and spending money on technology to reduce physical exercise.
