Introduction

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is gearing up for mass transfers of teachers in response to the changes brought about by the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) in primary and junior schools. This will bring rebalancing of teachers across Kenya hence bring equality.

 

Changes in Staffing Patterns

With the implementation of the CBC, there has been a shift in staffing patterns, resulting in a reduction in the number of classroom lessons per teacher. This shift has led to a surplus of 18,194 teachers in primary schools.

 

Addressing the Surplus

To address the surplus of teachers in primary schools, the TSC plans to redeploy teachers to junior secondary schools. This move aims to balance teacher-pupil ratios across all schools.

 

Plans for Redeployment

The TSC has announced its intention to review staffing levels at primary and post-primary levels to ensure equitable distribution of teachers nationwide.

 

Impact on Classroom Numbers

The implementation of the CBC has led to a reduction of two classes (Standard 7 and 8) in primary schools, resulting in a need for fewer teachers in those grades.

 

Challenges in Grade 8

The introduction of an extra class for Grade 8 in junior schools has created a deficit of 42,117 teachers for this grade.

 

Opportunities for Teachers

To address the shortage, the TSC has allocated 6,000 slots for primary school teachers who have completed further studies. These teachers must have specialized in their subject area and attained at least a C+ in two teaching subjects.

 

Conclusion

The mass transfers of teachers by the TSC are a response to the changing educational landscape brought about by the CBC. By redistributing teachers and addressing staffing needs, the TSC aims to ensure quality education for all students across the country.
