KNUT Could Soon Partner With TSC To Recruit Teachers. The Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) has contacted the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to request cooperation in the hiring and recruiting of new teachers.
The secretary general of KNUT, Collins Oyuu, emphasized that the union and the TSC must work together to find and hire quality teaching professionals. He emphasized how trade unions and the TSC work together to fulfill the changing requirements of the country’s educational system.
During his speech on World Teachers Day in Nairobi, Oyuu underlined the necessity of the two organizations working together, saying, “We have to all agree that we have to walk side by side.”
He emphasized that nurturing teachers’ well-being is fundamental to ensuring the delivery of high-quality education, asserting, “A well-cared-for teacher is the one who will lead to the quality education that we desire.”
Benta Opande, the Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Women Teachers Association (KEWOTA), addressed the issue of teacher shortages and emphasized the significance of improving teachers’ digital teaching capacities.

In order to properly instruct pupils utilizing electronic devices like laptops, Opande argued that educators need become more proficient in digital learning and teaching approaches.
Noting that a single teacher may potentially reach a big number of pupils in a short amount of time, she stressed the potential impact of digital teaching on mitigating teacher shortages.
Through supporting educators’ professional growth, Opande demonstrated KEWOTA’s dedication to working with other labor unions.
In the midst of continuing talks over educational changes, Opande emphasized how important it is to preserve the constitutionally guaranteed independence of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC).
The TSC’s opposition to some suggestions made by the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms, led by Prof. Raphael Munavu, demonstrated the commission’s dedication to upholding its independence and constitutional duty.
The commission objected to the Working Party’s plans, alleging potential violations of its constitutional mandate and autonomy. These included shifting some TSC tasks to the Ministry of Education.
