INHUMANE PROGRAMME
TSC introduced the programme in 2017 and thousands of teachers have been transferred.
But the programme still faces criticism as teachers affected by transfers are usually separated with their families, some leading to marriage break ups.
Teachers are often posted far from home counties, making life harder for their families.
The policy is being implemented amid an acute shortage of teachers in public schools.
In May 2018, TSC boss Nancy Macharia released new guidelines demanding tutors serve at least five years in the counties where they are posted before they can seek a transfer to their preferred regions.
TSC had also faced a crisis when teachers fled North Eastern counties such as Mandera, Garissa and Wajir over attacks and hostility from locals.
