Speaking over the issue, KNUT Secretary General Wilson Sossion revealed that the union was forced to declare the strike after Teacher’s Service Commission (TSC) violated labour rights.
“Teachers shall not resume duty until all the outstanding matters are addressed to the satisfaction of all teachers”Said Sossion.
Adding that the strike is legal.
Sossion also stated that Teachers Service Commission had become arogue institution as it received to listen to presidential advise on delocalization of teachers .He said that the the TSC betrayed the trust that the teachers had bestowed on the commission and contravened the code of regulations and the collective bargaining agreement to ensure career growth of teachers.
KNUT has accused the commission conducted the transfers without consultation and dabbed the TSC the ‘ Tormentor Of Teachers’. The Secretary general said that the the TSC had become an agent of confusion through disruption of policy.
KNUT said that the transfers had not been approved by the appointment board who are responsible for reviewing the the reasoning behind every transfer.
Sossion asked that the transfers were irregular and should be recalled with immediate effect.
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has transferred more than 3,000 head teachers of primary and secondary schools.
Do you think it’s fair for students to spend another more month at home?
