“Schools rely on government capitation and parents’ fees. Now that parents will not pay for the rest of the year, it is prudent for government to release the funds so that we can pay our workers, electricity and other maintenance costs. I am aware that Kenya Power has started disconnecting power in some schools due to debts,” Indimuli said.
On fees, Indimuli called on the government to let the principals, together with BoMs and parents sort out the matter.“Refunding fees is not practicable. We have always worked together with parents and I am sure we can agree on this,” Indimuli said.
He called on his members who had ordered foodstuff for the whole year to consider selling them and keeping the cash to be used next year.Gatemia said the first term capitation had been released to primary schools where the government gives Sh1,420 per learner per year.
“However, we have reached out to CS Magoha who has promised us that he will talk to Treasury to see if he can give schools some cash to cater for maintenance and security,” he said, adding that if not released, then schools can be vandalised for lack of security and will be dirty because there will be no workers to clean them.
National Parents Association chairman Nicholas Maiyo said his team will next week meet principals to discuss the issue of fees already paid.
As a BOM teacher, we are really suffering. Let the government do something.
So what’s the problem with teachers being paid despite them not going to school. Did teachers bring Corona? Did they advice the government to take such measures? Do you want dead teachers in classroom so as to be happy? Teacher’s salary MUST BE paid to strengthen our economy, since Mama mboga, landlords, wanjiku and the likes totally depend on the teacher’s salary. STOP ANNOUNCING TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT TEACHER’S SALARY AS IF IT’S THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE IN YOUR NEWSROOMS. WHY ARE YOU JEALOUS WITH TEACHERS YET YOU’VE PROOVED THAT WITHOUT THEM, THE SOCIETY IS ROTTEN, PREGNANCIES ALL OVER, THUGGERY, IDLENESS, LAZYNESS THE LIST IS LONG. OTHER CIVIL WORKERS ARE ALSO AT HOME, ITS ONLY TEACHERS YOU CAN TALK ABOUT. PLEASE GIVE US A BREAK.
Teachers in private schools and those under board do a noble cause in adhering to the government rules like paying taxes from their peanut salary,tsc regulations , ministry of education rules.but covid-19 has subjected them to uncertainty,no salary since April.let the government be considerate enough to help them.the government helped artist why not private school teachers.The. government need them only when it wants them to push it’s agenda but for now it has neglected them.
Indeed we in the private schools face a stifle and if the gov did something for us, we would appreciate.
Indeed we in the private schoos are facing a stifle and if the government did something humane to cushion us we would highly appreciate, May Our God come our rescue us.
I want to agree with what my colleagues in private schools have said. Indeed they are undergoing tuff economic times. Let the Government assist them before it’s too late. God bless our students and teachers at home
I have a family of three,my wife and I are p1 teachers.we are not employed by tsc.since schools were close we have never earned even a cent.
When will the government talk about us , unemployed teacher from private schools and institution
PLEASE please please it is only in this country where even teachers have been added 20 shillings the news will always be out ,this person posting them they were taught by teachers, for me to be a teacher I was taught by teachers please please let us also respect teachers the way we respect political leaders.
After opening the economy,the only people who have been left out is the private school teachers. There should be some interventions to help them out.
Teachers Want money, with or without corona
I’m a p1 teacher and married to a p1 teacher too.we graduated 2012 but we have never secured a government job.Life is really hard having 3months baby.Goverment has to do something to help private teachers
The government is proving a big let down to the teachers under BOARD and the support staff. Be mindful for a second and brainstorm about ways of assisting the teachers get food for their families on the table. The suffering is nolonger a rumour
It is so sad that BOM teachers have gone for months without pay because it seems no one recognized them as teachers hence they were left to nurse their own plight. it is high time the government considers this based on the president’s directive of cushioning employees. These are qualified teachers that have been helping in moulding our learners.
