Rift Valley Most affected by Delocalization as 14,000 Teachers Nationwide Begin New Term at New Schools
Teachers Service Commission statistics indicate that the majority of teachers affected by the delocalization policy are from the Rift Valley region.
According to a memo from the commission, 3,962 teachers have been transferred back to their home counties within the region.
Eastern area comes in second with 3,578 transfer transfers, followed by Western (2,003), Nyanza (1,425), and Coast (560), while Central only received 491 applications.
The memo states, a total of 14,733 teachers from around the country have submitted transfer requests to their respective counties.
68 school principals wished to be transferred to Rift Valley among these applications.
Teachers were outraged by the delocalisation policy, and Kenya Kwanza leaders have vowed to reverse it.
“The purpose of this memo is to seek approval to mail the list of teachers to be transferred within regions and the memo to the regional headquarters,” the memo reads.
A second group of teachers who had been transferred out of their regions requested transfers.
The panel approved 2,594 transfers, which would be implemented at TSC headquarters.
The memo states that all teachers and school heads must report on January 23, while principals must report on January 16.
According to the data, 226 school principals, 189 assistant principals, and 1,948 primary school principals were relocated to the counties of their choosing.
There will be a transfer of 1,316 secondary school teachers and 10,934 primary school teachers.
According to the commission, TSC regional heads would supervise transfers within their regions.
MPs persuaded TSC to conduct a review of the delocalization policy, resulting in its elimination.
The resolution sponsored by Titus Khamala, a member of parliament for Lurambi, was approved by the Parliament on November 3.
Khamala penned the motion urging an immediate process of the ongoing delocalization of teachers’ workstations.
This means that if TSC wishes to transfer a teacher, they should be assigned to a different school within their zone.
After the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) approved their requests for regional and regional transfers authorized by CEO Nancy Macharia, at least 14,000 teachers will begin the new term year at new schools.
The approvals occurred before to the expiration of the deadline posted by the education committee of the National Assembly for the TSC to reverse the delocalization policy that sent teachers away from their homes.
Before schools begin on the 23rd of this month, the teachers must report to their new positions.
Before the commencement of the first term of current academic year, schools around the nation are initiating the shift of command.
One principal at Kamusinga High School is succeeded by another. While the new principal is assuming the position in an acting capacity, other secondary schools will have new principals by Monday, January 16th.
In accordance with the reversal of the delocalization policy that has been in effect since 2017, TSC is transferring large numbers of primary and secondary school teachers.
The commission’s chief executive officer, Nancy Macharia, has asked the commission’s secretary and all regional directors to arrange the transfers of 14,613 teachers to new stations prior to the reopening of schools on the 23rd of this month, according to a circular seen by Citizen Digital.
