33 Teachers Fired by TSC After Disciplinary Hearings.
As part of its efforts to impose stricter teaching norms, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has terminated 33 teachers this year for a variety of breaches, including sexual abuse.
The TSC, led by Chief Executive Officer Dr. Nancy Macharia, has published the names of these instructors and announced the national revocation of their appointments.
Education Point was able to view Gazette Notice number 9587, which officially announced the deregistration of these teachers, on August 2. Furthermore, Dr. Macharia said that the panel had a number of disciplinary hearings as part of the process for blacklisting the professors.
Part of the notice stated, “The Commission wishes to notify the public that the persons whose names are specified in the Schedule herein below have been removed from the Register of Teachers pursuant to the provision of Section 30(1)(e) of the Teachers Service Commission Act.
This notification is in exercise of powers conferred by Section 30(2) of the Teachers Service Commission Act, Chapter 212 of the laws of Kenya.”
Fraudulent activity, conviction for sexual or criminal offenses, or physical or mental conditions that make it difficult for them to carry out their responsibilities can all lead to deregistration.
The Commission may, in accordance with its instruction, restore a teacher’s name, as per the TSC’s ruling. Any instructor who is removed from the register must therefore stop teaching right away and is no longer eligible to practice.
According to Section 44(b) of the TSC Act, an individual who poses as a registered teacher without proper authorization is deemed to have committed an offense and may face penalties, including a fine of up to 100,000 shillings or a term of imprisonment of up to 12 months, or both.
This information was included in the notice.
Teachers who disobey the rule of conduct established by their profession are facing severe consequences from the commission. As a result, numerous professors have been fired because of student sexual abuse instances.
It is prohibited by a number of statutes, including the Children’s Act and the Sexual Offenses Act, to have intercourse with someone who is younger than eighteen.
The TSC published rules in 2010 to protect kids against sexual abuse in schools. These guidelines are important to note because they forbid students from visiting teachers’ homes, advise teachers against pressuring students into sexual relationships with the promise of academic advancement, and require teachers to report any instances of child sexual abuse to the commission within 24 hours of the incident.
