Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) has urged the TSC to hire 5000 more teachers ahead of the new academic year, which begins later this month, to address the country’s acute teacher shortage.
The new academic year, which will be compressed, will be more difficult, according to KUPPET SG Akello Misori, lest the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) hires more teachers to cater for the two new transitional exams, the KSCE and the CBC.
Concerning the form one selection for the recently released Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) results, Misori urged parents to be satisfied with the Secondary Schools to which their children will be admitted, citing the country’s limited number of vacancies in national schools.
