While in higher education, The University Act 2012, TVET Act 2013, and KNQA Act 2014 contradict.

“Review and harmonise various Acts that at times contradicts and conflict with each other and impact negatively on service delivery,” the report reads.

While making presentations to the education review team, primary school teachers also called for a review of laws that overlapped with each other.

Kenya National Union of Teachers secretary general Collins Oyuu said there is duplication of quality assurance standard roles in TSC and the ministry.

Oyuu clarified that the mandate of the TSC and ministry is well spelled out in their respective charter.

“However both TSC and ministry have established an Inspectorate Department/ Division thus duplicating roles,” Oyuu said.

This recommendation shows the clash between TSC Act and Basic Education Act.

“Quality Assurance and Standards should be undertaken by an external independent body for objectivity,” he said.

He also highlighted a clash of mandates in developing content for Teachers’ Professional Development.

TPD seeks to help teachers renew their professional certificates after every five years.

“Designing and dictating the content for the TPD curriculum is a mandate of KICD,” he said.

The teachers will now be required to undertake in-service professional training lasting for five years and get their certificates renewed.

The professional development will run for 30 years and has six modules each lasting five years.

Wandayi calls for full reinstatement of school fees subsidies.

He said they will also demand a full review of the university student’s loan.
