TSC’s Anti-Corruption Performance Contract For Principals
Corruption is a pervasive problem that can undermine the integrity of institutions, erode public trust and cause significant harm to society.
The education sector is not immune to corruption. It is important to put in place measures that can prevent and reduce corrupt practices in schools.
This is where the performance contract between the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Head of Institution (Secondary) on Corruption Prevention comes in.
The contract sets out the expectations and responsibilities of the principal in preventing and reducing corruption in their school.
The principal has to sensitize pupils and staff on the effects and dangers of engaging in various corrupt practices. This includes examination malpractices and bribing for free services.
By raising awareness of the negative consequences of corruption, the principal can help to reduce the vulnerability of the school to fraudulent acts.
In addition to raising awareness, the principal has to provide channels and forums to abate corruption.
This includes introducing open barazas and suggestion boxes, where students and staff can report any suspicious activity or suggest ways to prevent corruption.
By creating a culture of transparency and accountability, the school can discourage corrupt practices and encourage ethical behavior.
The performance contract is an important tool for promoting good governance and accountability in the education sector.
It sets out clear expectations and responsibilities for the Head of Institution. It also provides a framework for monitoring and evaluating their performance in preventing and reducing corruption.
By signing the contract, the principal is committing to upholding the highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior in their school.
In conclusion, the performance contract between TSC and the Head of Institution (Secondary) on Corruption Prevention is a crucial step in promoting good governance and preventing corrupt practices in schools.
It provides a framework for raising awareness of the dangers of corruption, and for creating a culture of transparency and accountability in schools.
By working together to prevent and reduce corruption, we can ensure that our schools provide a safe and secure environment for learning and growth.
