TSC Initiates Appeal for 742 Sacked JSS School Intern Teachers
The rehiring of the 742 Junior Secondary School (JSS) intern teachers, whose contracts were recently terminated, will occur soon, as confirmed by their employer.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) says an appeal process has been initiated for the 742 Junior Secondary School intern teachers recently dismissed for absconding duty, with each case being reviewed on merit.
Nancy Macharia, TSC’s Chief Executive Officer, encouraged the striking teachers, who demanded permanent and pensionable terms after a court ruling, to initiate an appeal.
Last month, thousands of JSS intern teachers, who had been striking since April 17, paused their boycott until July 5 to allow the National Assembly to pass the Finance Bill, 2024.
“After a meeting with JSS county leaders, we agreed to suspend the demonstrations and pave the way for Parliament to pass the budget on Thursday.
By that date, we should have been communicated on the status of the confirmation of the 46,000 teachers,” Omari Omari, their national spokesman.
