KNUT Could Soon Partner With TSC To Recruit Teachers
Soon, KNUT and TSC may collaborate to hire teachers. In order to request assistance with recruiting and hiring new teachers, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has been contacted by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT).
Collins Oyuu, the KNUT secretary general, underlined that collaboration between the union and the TSC is necessary to identify and recruit qualified educators. He stressed the collaboration between trade unions and the TSC in order to meet the nation’s educational system’s evolving requirements.
Saying, “We have to all agree that we have to walk side by side,” Oyuu emphasized the importance of the two organizations cooperating during his remarks on World Teachers Day in Nairobi.
“A well-cared-for teacher is the one who will lead to the quality education that we desire,” he asserted, emphasizing that fostering teachers’ well-being is essential to assuring the delivery of high-quality education.
The CEO of the Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA), Benta Opande, spoke on the problem of teacher shortages and stressed the need of enhancing educators’ digital teaching skills.
Opande contended that teachers must be more adept in digital learning and teaching strategies in order to instruct students using electronic devices like laptops.
She emphasized the potential influence of digital education on easing teacher shortages, noting that a single teacher may potentially reach a large number of students in a short amount of time.
By fostering the professional development of educators, Opande exemplified KEWOTA’s commitment to cooperating with other labor unions.
During the ongoing discussions over changes to education, Opande stressed the need to maintain the Teachers Service Commission’s (TSC) independence as promised by the constitution.
The TSC’s commitment to maintaining its independence and constitutional mandate was evident in its rejection of several recommendations made by the Prof. Raphael Munavu-led Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms.
The commission said that the Working Party’s intentions may have violated its constitutional mandate and autonomy, and it opposed to them. Among them was assigning the Ministry of Education certain TSC responsibilities.
