Setbacks are underway as teachers strongly oppose TPD training due to training costs and other miscellaneous expenses to be incurred during the training program.
The teacher’s unions have been under intent pressure from teachers to their employer since the signing of a non-monetary Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the teacher services commission.
The teachers have been raising concerns since TSC rolled out the new TPD training that is about to start.
The directive from TSC that all teachers are required to undergo mandatory TPD training and renew their certificates after every five years or otherwise risk losing their jobs has caught the majority of teachers unaware.
Teachers will have to dig dip in their pockets to get a chance of enrolling on the program to get their certificates renewed after every five years.
The teachers have signalled setbacks through the Unions in the Teacher Professional Development (TPD) program.
Mogori KUPPET branch has written to the KUPPET Secretary General Akelo Misori that the teachers from Migori county are not for the program because of the expenses teachers are going to incur during training.
