The Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) is pushing for major reforms in the teacher promotion system, citing stagnation and unfair distribution of vacancies as key concerns.
This is after the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) announced promotions for 28,288 teachers across various grades this year.
However, KUPPET's Deputy Secretary-General, Moses Nthurima, criticized the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) for a skewed promotion process.
Nthurima said this has disadvantaged many educators; particularly in areas with many teacher's demands. "A county with over 11,000 teachers is being allocated the same number of vacancies as another with just 1,000 teachers.
