Retooling of JSS Teachers to End Tomorrow, Thanks to Oyuu’s Intervention
Training of junior secondary school teachers will now end on Friday 17th March 2023 and not Sunday as it was earlier planned.
The Commission had planned the retooling of teachers who will handle grade 7 (Junior secondary) in Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) and Competency Based Assessment (CBA)to start from 13th till 19th March,2023.
The face-to-face training happening in the Teacher Training Colleges (TTCS) and select venues in the County targeted to retool headteachers for three days and teachers for six days.
However, the Commission did not factor that Saturdays and Sundays are worshipping days and many teachers are not available for training on weekends.
Protests made by the junior secondary school teachers prompted the Kenya National Union of Teachers (knut) to intervene which then made consensus with the Commission.
knut secretary general, Collins Oyuu, says Saturdays and Sundays are worshipping days and should be respected.
