Question

The Member for Mwingi West (Hon. Charles Nguna, MP) to ask the Chairperson of the Teachers Service Commission: - (i) Could the Chairperson explain why one thousand and eleven (1,011) classroom teachers promoted to senior graduate teachers’ Job Group M in April 2017 and subsequently promoted to head teachers have not been elevated to the corresponding Job Group D1? (ii) Could the Chairperson further explain if there are any plans to elevate the said head teachers to the required Job Group D1 and state by when this will be done? (iii) Further, could the Commission explain the reasons for existing discrepancies where senior graduate teachers are head teachers yet some with the same qualifications are still in Job Group C5 instead of D1? (To be replied before the Departmental Committee on Education)
