Members of Parliament drawn from the National Assembly Education Committee have backed the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in calling for the approval of the proposed allocation of Ksh382.3 billion in the 2025/26 budget.
The Committee Chair, Julius Melly, made the plea during a meeting with the Liaison Committee on Friday.
Melly stated that this would enable the commission to recruit 18,000 intern teachers, hire 18,000 permanent secondary school teachers, and promote 20,000 teachers. "These recruitments and promotions will continue to address the gaps in teaching resources as well as motivate teachers in terms of career progression," MP Melly affirmed.
In addition to this critical recruitment of more teachers, the MPs noted that the funding would prove fundamental in other education spheres.
