Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has opposed the transfer of teachers from Nairobi, warning that this will attract severe consequences, especially during national examinations.
The transfers are part of teacher delocalisation, which refers to the mandatory transfer of teachers to work in areas outside their home regions.
According to the KNUT chair of the Nairobi Branch, Nyamai Kasina, the transfer of teachers, especially long-serving teachers, by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) from Nairobi to other regions of the country, such as Kitui, might subsequently lead to poor performances in the upcoming national examinations in the county.
Kasina, who described the delocalisation as punitive and inhumane, claimed that TSC has already issued delocalisation letters to teachers.
