    TSC Urges School Leaders to Help, Not Punish, Teachers in Need

    The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is asking school principals to support teachers who are having a hard time instead of punishing them right away. Japhat Kariuki, the TSC Director for the Nyanza region, made this statement at a recent conference for secondary school heads in Kisumu.

    Kariuki highlighted the importance of understanding the problems teachers face, such as issues with alcohol or personal life challenges, before taking any formal action against them.

    He noted that teachers often deal with social issues, like family problems, that can affect their work.

    “When teachers are struggling, they should be helped, not punished,” he said.

    Cavin Anyuor, a TSC Legal Officer, explained that school principals have the power to suspend teachers, not the TSC. He advised them to make sure any suspensions are for serious reasons, not minor issues. For instance, there was a case where a headteacher punished a Junior School teacher by not allowing them to use a chair.

    The TSC is also encouraging principals to participate in the Teacher Induction Mentorship and Coaching (TIMEC) program. This program aims to create support systems for teachers, focusing on both prevention and correction.

    Kariuki pointed out that many principals do not properly help new teachers settle in, which can leave them feeling confused. He urged school leaders to guide new teachers in understanding their roles, responsibilities, and school rules. This support helps teachers grow emotionally and creates a positive school environment.

    He also suggested that teachers who struggle with managing their classrooms could benefit from guidance from more experienced colleagues. Additionally, principals should assist teachers in balancing their work and personal lives, especially during family issues.

    Kariuki concluded by encouraging school leaders to make coaching a regular practice, ensuring that teachers continuously improve their skills and meet higher professional standards.
