TSC Assigns A Union For JSS Teachers
TSC Assigns A Union For JSS Teachers
A new regulation from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) requires Junior Secondary School (JSS) teachers to join the Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) for the current academic year.
With effect from this day forward, all teachers employed by organizations classified as junior secondary schools must become members of KNUT, which represents a substantial shift in the union membership of these teachers.
The TSC guideline also recommends resolving labor disputes involving these professors in the past.
Considering that KNUT has historically represented primary school teachers, the change is notable.
As an alternative educational organization, the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) represents educators primarily in secondary schools and other educational environments.
Aligning with their predecessors in primary schools, teachers in junior secondary schools will adhere to the same monthly dues and contribute 2% of their base salary to the Knut union. This adjustment signifies a uniformity in financial commitments across different educational levels within the teaching profession.
It is important to note that a significant portion of junior secondary school instructors were paid throughout the month of April.
The practical ramifications of the directive and its immediate influence on the financial elements of teaching professionals in this educational sector are highlighted by this development.
