The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has instructed school heads to furnish it with details of teachers in excel format ahead of Remote Learning workshop scheduled to kick off next week.
The school heads both from primary and secondary schools were ordered to submit the details to their Curriculum Support Officers (CSO) for immediate processing.
For primary schools three teachers plus the head teacher will attend the training.
For secondary schools two teachers will attend the training.
The details of the head of the institution is also to be submitted along with other details.
The training dubbed Remote Learning Methodology will start on Tuesday next week and end on Wednesday.
Details required to be submitted are;
1 Name of the teacher
2 His/her TSC number
3 His/her gender
4 The school the teacher belongs
5 The teacher’s mobile phone number
All participants are also required to attend with an ICT gadget (smartphone or laptop).
The details are to be submitted by Mid night Thursday.
Currently 90,000 teachers are attending a Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) training which started on Monday 31st May.
The program organised by the Commission kicked off this week countrywide involving three teachers in primary schools.
The three teachers required to attend the program which is scheduled to take five days are;
i. School head teacher
ii. 1 lower primary school teacher
iii. 1 upper primary school teacher
Teachers will learn major changes brought by the new curriculum.
During the five day program teachers will be provided with tea and lunch as well as writing materials.
Teachers will also get paid 400/- per day for attending the training.
Last year during a similar training Knut protested after TSC planned training of teachers on Sunday.
The Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) wrote to TSC to reschedule the CBC training to avoid conflict over Saturday and Sundays which are popularly known as religious days.
Knut Secretary General Wilson Sossion said TSC should reschedule CBC training to another date apart from Saturday and Sunday.
“You are aware of the National Constitution and the right to worship by all citizens and considering that we are in a festive season where members are engaging in religious activies on Saturdays and Sundays. We therefore demand that you reschedule any training activities to any other day other than Saturdays and Sundays,’ said Sossin in a letter addressed to TSC CEO Dr Nancy Macharia.
However teachers proceeded with training despite the protests.
