In the wake of many disciplinary cases, the Teachers Service Commission, TSC Deregisters 23 Teachers in January 2024.
The TSC CEO, Nancy Macharia, announced in a notification that the instructors had been found guilty of the charges brought against them.
However, Macharia omitted a list of the specific accusations the professors were facing.
The TSC number, case number, teacher’s name, and removal date were all listed by the Commission.
“In exercise of powers conferred by section 30 (1) (e) of the Teachers Service Commission Act, the commission wishes to notify the public that the persons whose names are specified in the Schedule herein below have been removed from the Register of Teachers pursuant to the provision of section 30 (2) of the Teachers Service Commission Act,” reads part of the notice.
The Teachers Service Commission Act’s Section 23, which outlines the procedures for removing tutors from the Register, was followed in carrying out the dismissals.
